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
A.accident
B.nightmare
C.treatment
D.trouble
No matter how slow technology revolutions are, they can change our lifestyles.
A.Y
B.N
C.NG

听力原文:M: Can you spare a moment, dear? I want you to listen to this letter.
W: Go ahead then
M: Sir, my wife and I arrived home last night after a holiday arranged brochure as a comfortable, medium-sized hotel with a magnificent view of the sea, offering courteous, old-fashioned service
W: Yes, that's what the brochure said.
M: In fact the hotel is situated at least half a mile from the sea. Our room overlooked a car park...
W: Through the gates of which motor vehicles were constantly arriving or departing.
M: Yes, that's good. The food was strictly beef burgers and chips or fish and chips. Wine was available, but at exorbitant prices, and for the courteous, old-fashioned service, the majority of the staff were foreign and virtually incapable of speaking or under- standing the English language.
W: Yes, that's quite true.
M: In addition to this, we were most unhappy with the arrangements for our journey home. We were instructed to catch the 11:00 a.m. ferry...
W: Wasn't it 12:00?
M: No, 11:00...but this was apparently delayed and we did not get away fill 6 o'clock in the evening. Now that our holiday is over. it seems fairly pointless writing this letter, but I should like you to know that we were most disappointed with the hotel travel arrangements and shall certainly not be booking any future holidays through Happy Tours. Yours faithfully, Herbert Wilson.
M: Yes dear, that's a very good letter.

听力原文: The crowd cheered and cheered. The man with the horn waved and smiled his great, happy smile. "More! More!" cried the crowd. And Louis Satchmo Armstrong took his horn and began to play again. Here he was in England. Now as a famous man, he was rich. He knew many important people. Wherever he went, people knew his name. They wanted to hear his music. As Louis played the sad, slow songs, he thought of his home in New Orleans. He lived there as a boy. How many years ago was it? It was a busy, exciting city. But Louis' family was very poor. He went to work to help his mother. He also went to school. One of Louis' teachers asked him to be in the school band. "This horn is yours until you leave our school," his teacher said. Louis' music was jazz and he loved it. He remembered all the music he heard. He didn't learn to read music until he was a man. When he left school, he played in many bands. He loved his work and people loved him. They knew that he had a wonderful talent. Louis played in little towns and in big cities. Satchmo's horn had as many sounds as ten horns--sometimes slow and sweet; sometimes fast and hot, high and low. His music was always strong and exciting.
