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.11 .

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.Three Things To Do Before You Are 18Are you bored with your daily life?

Those seats are intended for (预留) a certain group of peoplethe old and some who need special care, such as the disabled or those with small babies. So you can often see young people choose to take others seats i41 . of the orange ones if possible.One day, my friend Lisa got on a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one. She hesitated(犹豫) for a moment and slowly walked to it and s42 . down. As the bus went on, passengers(乘客) gather from stop to stop and the bus became really crowded(拥挤) .

Lisa turned her face to the window to hide her embarrassment(尴尬).If you were a passenger on that bus, would you stand out against her and blame(责怪) her for not giving up her seat? If I hadnt known the story of Lisas side, I would. However, the truth is: Lisa had just a small o49 . in hospital last week and was in recovery (恢复). Her doctor had told her to sit instead of s50 . as much as possible. The long bus trip would give her trouble if she stood all the way.五、语法填空On Sunday mornings，people often have a lie-inThat 51 .
