flies when you are having fun and 38 when you are bored. now scientists have 39 a reason why this is the case.scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 40 according to how we focus on a task. when we are 41 , we concentrate more on how time is passing. and this makes our brains 42 the clock is ticking more slowly.in an experiment 43 by a french laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image 44 researchers monitored their brain activity.the volunteers were told to 45 concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then 46 the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. the results showed that 47 was more active when the volunteers paid 48 subjects.it is thought that if the brain is 49 focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 50 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 51 , time passes without us really 52 it, and seems to go quickly. if the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 53 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 54 ,

burdens on their shoulders, teenagers find it hard to pull out. even if they are free, they prefer to occupy themselves with computer games or watching tv. how to get children away from screens is a great concern for parents. now there is some good news for those concerned parents and teachers.a campaign is being launched to encourage children to surrender 30 minutes of screen time a day to head for the great outdoors.the newly formed wild network, a collaboration of nearly 400 organizations, is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computer screens and into fields, woods and parks.organizers say it is the uks biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play, and claim it could help improve fitness, mental alertness and general wellbeing.a documentary film, project wild thing, will herald the launch at more than 50 cinemas across the uk from friday. it looks at the increasingly fragile link between children and nature.members of the network include the national trust, rspb, play england and the nhs sustainable development unit.andy simpson, chairman of wild network, said, “the tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.” time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically, activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers(七叶树果实), camping, snail racing, and observing autumn colors on trees.from january, the network will aim to make suggestions to politicians on how government can do more to get children muddy and brighteyed.this is not the first time the message of fewer screens, more play has been brought up. children in the 1980s were entreated to do the same by the bbc tv series why dont you, which somewhat confusingly called on its viewers to “switch off your tv set, and go to do something less boring instead”56. what is the main purpose of the campaign in the uk?a. to save 30 minutes for watching tv programs each day.b. to encourage children to play outdoors.c. to see the documentary film project wild thing.d. to teach students how to learn more efficiently in schools.57. according to the organizers of wild network, there will be many advantages from the campaign except _a. improving health conditions b. keeping touch with naturec. learning more about wildlife d. teaching children how to make full use of their spare time58.the underlined part “to get children muddy and brighteyed” in paragraph 9 means “_ ”a. to make children covered with mudb. to urge politicians to do more things for childrenc. to encourage children to take part in outdoor activitiesd. to help children identify common species59. which of the following could be the best title for the passage? a. a new campaign b. fewer screens, more play outdoorsc. a newly formed wild network d. children get to know wild thingsba city childs summer is spent in the street in front of his home，and all through the long summer vacations i sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. i was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missingnot out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted that i would be no good at it. they were right，of course.i would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. the baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. no grownup ever sat there or attempted to. there the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. it was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. i can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question；but whoever he was，i nod to him gratefully now. “ whats in those books youre always reading？” he asked casually. “stories,” i answered. “what kind？”asked somebody else without much interest.nor do i know what drove me to behave as i did，for usually i just sat there in silence，glad enough to be allowed to remain among them；but instead of answering his question，i told them for two hours the story i was reading at the moment. the book was sister carrie. they listened bugeyed and breathless. i must have told it well，but i think there was another and deeper reason that made them so keen an audience. listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of mans entertainments，but i was offering them as well，without being aware of doing it，a new and exciting experience.the books they themselves read were the rover boys or tom swift or ga. henry. i had read them too，but at thirteen i had long since left them behind. since i was much alone i had become an enthusiastic reader and i had gone through the booksforboys series. in those days there was no reading material between childrens and grownups books，or i could find none. i had gone right from tom swift and his flying machine to theodore dreiser and sister carrie. dreiser had hit my young mind，and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that i had had in reading it.the next night and many nights thereafter，a kind of unspoken ritual(仪式) took place. as it grew dark，i would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evenings tale. some nights，in order to taste my victory more completely，i cheated. i would stop at the most exciting part of a story by jack london or bret harte，and without warning tell them that that was as far as i had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. it was not true，of course；but i had to make certain of my newlyfound power and position. i enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences，but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store，i have an unreasoning love that will last forever.60. the writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy _. a. invited him to join in their game b. liked the book that he was reading c. broke the long silence of that summer evening d. offered him an opportunity that changed his life61. according to paragraph 3，storytelling was popular among the boys basically because _.a. the story was from a childrens book b. listening to tales was an age-old practicec. the boys had few entertainments after darkd. the boys didnt read books by themselves62. sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _.a. play a mean trick on the boysb. experience more joy of achievementc. add his own imagination to the storyd. help the boys understand the story better63. what is the message conveyed in the story?a. one can find his position in life in his own way.b. friendship is built upon respect for each other.c. reading is more important than playing games.d. adult habits are developed from childhood.cyou may not pay much attention to your daily lift ride. many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. but lee gray, phd, of the university of north carolina, the us, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. he is known as the “lift guy”“the lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette(礼仪) is sort of odd(奇怪的)，” gray told the bbc. “they (lifts) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”we walk in and usually turn around to face the door. if someone else comes in, we may have to move. and here, according to gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. he told the bbc what he had observed.he explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you wantits your own little box.if there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally(对角线地) across from each other to create distance.when a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. and when there is a fourth person, it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. a fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.new entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. once in, for most people the rule is simplelook down, or look at their phones.why are we so awkward in lifts?“you dont have enough space，” professor babette renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the free university of berlin, told the bbc. “usually when we meet other people, we have about an arms length of distance between us. and thats not possible in most lifts.”in such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed(解释) as threatening or odd. “the easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact，”she said.64.the main purpose of the article is to _a. remind us to enjoy ourselves in the liftb. tell us some unwritten rules of lift etiquettec. share an interesting but awkward lift rided. analyze what makes people feel awkward in a lift65. according to gray, when people enter a lift, they usually _a. turn around and greet one anotherb. look around or examine their phonesc. make eye contact with those in the liftd. try to keep a distance from other people66. which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in a lift? (the point in the chart refers to one person)dthirty years ago, the earnshaw family lived at wuthering heights, with two teen-aged children hindley and catherine. mr. earnshaw travels to liverpool, where he adopts a homeless gypsy boy, naming him heathcliff. hindley finds himself robbed of his fathers love and care and becomes bitterly jealous of the newcomer. however, catherine grows very attached to him. soon, the two children spend hours on the moors (荒原) together and hate every moment apart. because of the conflict, hindley is eventually sent to college. however, he marries a woman named frances and returns three years later, after mr. earnshaw dies. he becomes master of wuthering heights, making heathcliff their servant instead of a family member. months after hindleys return, heathcliff and catherine travel to thrushcross grange to spy on the linton family. however, they are found and try to escape. catherine is caught by a dog, and then brought inside the grange to have injuries tended to while heathcliff is sent home. catherine eventually returns to wuthering heights as a changed woman, looking and acting as a lady. she laughs at heathciiffs dirty appearance. when the lintons visit the next day, heathcliff dresses up to impress her. it fails, however, when edgar, one of the lintons children, argues with him. heathcliff is locked in the attic, where catherine later tries to comfort him. he swears revenge on hindley. in the summer of the next year, frances gives birth to a son, hareton, but she dies before the year is out. this leads hindley to fall into a life of drunkenness and waste. two years pass and catherine has become close friends with edgar, growing more distant from heathcliff. one day in august, while hindley is absent, edgar comes to visit catherine. before long, they declare themselves lovers. catherine explains to nelly, her servant, that she does not really love edgar but heathcliff. unfortunately, she could never marry heathcliff because of his lack of status and education. she therefore plans to marry edgar and use that position to help raise heathcliffs status. unfortunately, heathcliff has overheard the first part and runs away, disappearing without a trace. after three years, edgar and catherine are married. six months after their marriage, heathcliff returns as a gentleman, having grown stronger and richer. catherine is delighted to see him
