But when the bell for the next class rings, you cant believe how quickly time has passed. If you have this experience, youll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens. They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to how we direct our attention to a task. When we are bored, we pay more attention to how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly. Recently some researchers who want to understand the conditions carried out an experiment. In the experiment, twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored (关注) their brain activity. The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared, then the color of the picture, and thirdly, study the both. The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects. It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspects (方面) of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it spends its full energy on the passing of time. As a result, time seems to move slowly. Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should concentrate on what the teacher is saying.40 . What does the underlined word “drags” probably mean?APasses slowly.BRuns quickly.CMoves actively.41 . What have the scientists found?ATime goes by fast when we have nothing to do.BThe ten minutes break is important to students.CThe brain works in different ways in different situations.42 . How did the researchers do the experiment?ABy inviting the volunteers to have a long class.BBy asking the volunteers to pay attention to a clock.CBy monitoring brain activity while volunteers are watching a picture.43 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AWe will be full of energy if were busy.BConcentrating on things is a way to make people less bored.CTime goes slowly when the brain is noticing many things at the same time.44 . Which is the best title of the passage?AThe best way to save timeBThe importance of planning timeCThe reason for time flying and dragging五、用单词的正确形式完成短文B阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的动词，并用其适当形式填空。有的需要加助动词或不定式符号（每词限用一次）。enjoy lookbelivemoveWho Moved My Cheese is a good book with a powerful message.
