But when the bell for the next class rings, you cant believe how 36 time has passed.If you are 37 with this scene, youll know how time flies when you are having fun and 38 when you are bored. Now scientists have 39 a reason why this is the case.Scans（扫描）have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 40 according to how we focus（聚焦）on a task. When we are 41, we concentrate（集中）more on how time is passing. And 42 makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.In an experiment 43 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image 44 researchers monitored their brain activity.The volunteers were told to 45 concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then 46 the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that 47 was more active when the volunteers paid attention to 48 subjects.It is thought 49 if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 50 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock.51, time passes without us really 52 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrate its 53 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 54, time seems to drag.Next time you feel bored 55, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!36.

Our dreams do not come from “another world”. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our emotions, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the outside may affect what we dream. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice or snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today.So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. this is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom.To show you what is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton. He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand!There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dream, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the problems. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.56. What is the best title for this passage? A. Why people dream. B. New findings about dreams. C. Dream makes hopes. D. What dreams mean.57. Young children are likely to dream of fairies because_. A. they have a strong desire to see such fairies. B. they are very anxious about the examinations and hope fairies can bring them good luck. C. they dont believe there are fairies in the world at all. D. they know nothing about the fairies.58. Which of the following statements is supported by some scientists? A. Only those with strong desires may dream. B. Based on the content of the dreams, we may know peoples wishes and desires. C. When you are very tired, you never dream at all. D. Dreams make people feel tired.59. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. When a blanket slipped off your bed at night, you will feel you have nothing on at all. B. When you are very anxious about the exams, you may dream fairies. C. When you are very tired, you may dream that you are in hospital. D. When you are hungry, you may dream of food.BTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class：He stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesnt mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teachers work and the actors. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand (预先). What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play： they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they dont understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage-play because they could not keep strictly to what another had written.60. The word “audience” in the fourth paragraph means _ . A. students B. people who watch a play C. people who are not on the stage D. people who listen to something61. A good teacher _ . A. knows how to hold the interest of his studentsB. must have a good voice C. knows how to act on the stageD. stands or sits still while teaching62. In what way is a teachers work different from an actors? A. The teacher must learn everything by heart. B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor. C. He has to deal with unexpected situations. D. He has to use more facial expressions.63. Why is it that some good teachers are unable to play well on the stage? A. Nobody has taught them how to act on the stage. B. Their audiences are different. C. It is impossible for them to do so much memory work. D. They are not used to repeating exactly the same words.64. Which of the following is true ? A. Teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class. B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class. C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor. D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor.C About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point, tile woman asked: So, how have you been? And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old -replied. Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed (low in spirits) lately. This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that children are changing, As far as I can remember, my friends and l didnt find out we were depressed until we were in high school. The change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults (grown-ups), dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on born biological states, but also on patterns ofaccess(通道) to social knowledge. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally (传统地) , we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine (a machines which tells the secret) has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television, Television passes information to all viewers alike, children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the more interesting moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve（包括）a complex（复杂的）code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.65. According to the author, feeling depressed is _. A. a sure sign of a mental problem in a child B. something hardly to be expected in a young child C. quite natural for young children at all times D. a mental problem present in all humans, including children66. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _. A. through contact with society B. naturally and by biological instinct (本能) C. gradually and under guidance D. through social information67. According to the author, todays children seem adult-like as a result of _. A. the widespread influence（影响）of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content C. the fast pace of human mental development D. the constantly rising standard of livingDWhats OnStageAn acrobatic(杂技) soul: To celebra
