During the experiments, they made the participants feel happy or sad by watching films and thinking about good or bad things of the past.In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge whether some wrong things were true or not. The results showed that people in a bad mood were less likely to believe that these things were true.People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when they were asked to remember the things that they saw.The study also showed that sad people were better at talking about their thoughts in written style.

But when the bell for the next class rings, you cant believe how 1 time has passed.If you are familiar with this scene, youll know how time flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case.Scans（扫描仪）have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 2 according to how we focus on (专心于) a task. When we feel 3 we concentrate（专心于） more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory. 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.The volunteers were told to first concentrate on 4 an image appeared for, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration(持续时间) and color. The results showed that 5 was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays 6 attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 7 energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to pass slowlyNext time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!1. A) slowly B) quickly C) terribly D) quietly2.

He studied many different plants and crops, but some of his favorite were peanuts, sweet potatoes and pecans（美洲山核桃）. We dont know exactly when George Washington Carver was born, but it was probably sometime in the 1860s. His mother was a slave owned by a farmer in Missouri named Moses Carver. Young George Carver was fascinated by plants and flowers. He tended his own little garden. People began to see what a gift he had for growing things. They called him the “the plant doctor” and asked him to help them grow their gardens better. George longed to go to school. But in those days most schools only taught white children. So, George had to move to a town eight miles away to attend a school for black children. At that time, some people wrongly believed that a black child should not get any education.His determination carried him all the way through college. In 1894, George Washington Carver graduated from Iowa State University. Soon he was invited to teach at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a college created especially for African-American students. It was just what Carver wanted: a place where he could study plants and agriculture, and help educate other black men and women.Carver wanted to help farmers in the South. They had been raising cotton for many years，and the crops werent growing strong and healthy any more. Carver said they needed to improve the soil by growing other crops, like peanuts. People laughed and called peanuts monkey food. Nobody ate peanuts then. One evening a group of important people came to dinner at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver planned the menu. What do you think he served? Peanut soup, peanut bread, creamed peanuts, peanut cookies and peanut ice cream for dessert！In his laboratory Carver learned how peanuts could be used to make shoe polish，ink, oil, shampoo, soap，and shaving cream. Altogether, Carver discovered over three hundred ways to use the peanut. People started calling him “the Wizard (奇才）of Tuskegee”.1. What did George Washington Carver help farmers do?_2.
