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.16 .

They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials.Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns(刺)to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we give the adult tree proper care, it will go on to live healthily for many years.Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow(空心的)or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When we are looking at the life of a tree, we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees!21 . Put the following in the right order according to the passage.Grow very rapidly Become a real adultHave large, deep green leavesGrow older and dieProduce flowers and fruitABCD22 . Why should we enjoy every minute of our own life according to the passage?ABecause our life is becoming better and better.BBecause trees give us so much and make our world beautiful.CBecause the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience.DBecause each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge.23 . Which of the following shows the structure(结构)of the passage?(1=Paragraphl 2=Paragraph 2, )ABCDI left my hometown in London last year and now I have enjoyed working in this small city in China. Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese. But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I dont need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to describe a person who doesnt care for criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.Im still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.24 .

The models have shining hair like jewels （珠宝）. But now to make hair shine is no longer the task of hair care products, because hair can be made into real jewels. Believe it or not, a company called LifeGem in the US turns hair into jewels.The company is in the business of taking hair from dead people and making it into diamonds （钻石）. The diamonds are for the families to remember the dead people.Now the company plans to make three diamonds using Beethovens hair to show their latest technology （技术）. The work will take about 7 months and in the end, Beethovens long hair will become 3 shining diamonds between 0.5 to 1 carat （克拉）in size.Since the great musician died in 1827, you may wonder how they got Beethovens hair. Actually, the hair was given by John Rezniloff, who holds the Guinness World Record for the largest and most valuable collection of celebrities （名人） hair. His collection also includes hair of Napoleon, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. In total, the collection is worth over 5 million dollars.Though it sounds unbelievable （难以置信）, to have such diamonds made with hair may be a good way to show respect （尊敬） and love to those who died.28 .

At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.When scientists could use telescopes to study the Moon more clearly, their ideas began to change. They could see that there were lots of rocks on the surface of the Moon. Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from the rocks on the Earth.In 1969, Moon rocks were finally brought to the Earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas came out according to the new information.After years of study, most scientists now think that the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe a
