The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf of a nearby plant. She soon recovered (恢复). The ant remembered that she had found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted (晕倒). The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would help them when they needed help.The rabbit couple went further up the river. They had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun.One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on the leaf of a tree. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river. A few hours later she saw them sleeping peacefully on the soft grass by the river. Suddenly she saw a lion walking quietly to the sleeping rabbits to attack them.Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf to the lions shoulder and bit (咬) the lions back.

Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.In fact, this is one of the ways that were tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Lets have a look.First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities. Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of (失去对的意识) time.Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline ( 肾上腺素 ) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details ( 细节 )over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps (午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? Thats because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive (感知) time again.Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.36 . According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long ?Aweekends and holidaysBweekends and workCclasses and workDholidays and work37 . Which is NOT the wrong impressions that we often have about time according to the the website listing?Anegative emotionsBpositive emotionsCadrenalineDscientists38 . According to the passage, in which situation do we make mistakes about time?AWe have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.BWe have a math test when we fall down from a high place.CWe may have trouble telling what time it is after a long nap.DWe go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays .39 . According to the passage , what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger ?AOur bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.BWe are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.CAdrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.DWe will forget far more details over a short period of time.40 . Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?ANegative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.BWhen we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.CIf we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly perceive time again.DTime can be mysterious and there is no way to control it.So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. We can find them almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. Its true that father mosquito doesnt bite(咬)and only the mother mosquito bites because she needs blood(血液) to lay(产卵) eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesnt like your blood, shes going to turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are the person she chooses. Youre different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you are going to have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood and makes you feel uncomfortable. When the itching begins, and she has been far away from you.And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. After that, she is going to a pool or a lake to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.41 . The Chinese meaning of the word “mosquito” in this passage is probably “_”.A水蛭B臭虫C跳骚D蚊子42 .

It depends on(取决于) how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will send me to the hospital.
