Time and how we experience it have puzzled physicists who have created fascinating theorie

s. But their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a girl for two hours, it seems like a minute, but when you sit on hot stove, a minute seems like two hours."

Psychologists have noticed that larger units of time. such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.

They also note that the more time is structured with schedule and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office, an increase in structured time could well be to blame why time seems to speed up as we grow older.

Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we've never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real notion of when we'll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.

When days become as identical as beads(珠子) on a string, they blend together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day--to stop time, so to speak.

Learning something new is another way to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seem so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery.

The purpose of this passage is to ______.

A．show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time

B．state the principles of time

C．describe various notions about time

D．explain why time flies and how to slow it down

Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Nonverbal （非语言的) c

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking.(78) The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.

For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be “cold"”or “distant"”because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The “eye contact” provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. (79) The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.

On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.

6. According to the passage, nonverbal communication__________.

A. is a method often used by people who cannot speak

B. can tell something that words cannot

C. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear

D. is less used than words

Passage Two What is your favorite color？ Do you like yellow, orange or red？ If you do, y

Passage Two

What is your favorite color？ Do you like yellow, orange or red？ If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, an active person. Do you prefer grays and blues？ Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.

Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

36. According to this passage,______.

A. one can choose his color preference

B. one is born with his color preference

C. one's color preference is changeable

D. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly

These are some of the signs that you see on the roads of Great Britain.

Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign they must net go at more than thirty miles an hour. We see this sign when we get to parts of the country where there are many houses and other buildings, for example, when we are getting near a town. Thirty miles an hour is the speed limit.

Number two is the sign for the end of the speed limit. We are out of the town now and may go at more than thirty miles an hour.

Number three is a sign that we are near a crossroad, that is, a place where two reads cross. We must drive carefully.

Number four is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully.

Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully.

Number seven has the word "school" on it. This is a sign that there is a school at file side of the street or road. Perhaps there are children going to school or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly until they are past the school building.

Number eight is a sign with the letter P on it. The letter P is for" Parking". A parking place is a place where drivers may leave their cars. If the driver of a car wants to leave his car and go to shops, he looks for the sign. Then he knows that he may leave his car there.

Who will most probably read the passage？

A．People who drive badly.

B．People who are learning to drive.

C．People who drive well.

D．People who drive carelessly.

第10题

DBecause we can feel that things are heavy, we think of weight as being a fixed quality in

an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.

Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4 000 miles out into space？ The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction, but this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4 000 miles from the centre (in other words the radius (半径) of the earth is 4 000 miles). When we took the butter 4 000 miles out, it was 8 000 miles from the centre, which is twice the distance.

If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases (减少) two times two. If you treble (翻三倍) the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three). If you take it four times as far away, it gets sixteen times weaker (four times four) and so on.

第69题：The best title for this passage is ________.

[A] The Earth Weight

[B] Weight in Space

[C] Changing Weight on the Earth

[D] Weight on and off the Earth
