25、   We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. 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 we’re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's 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? That's 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.

【1】According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long?

A.weekends and holidays B.weekends and work. C.classes and work D.holidays and work

【2】Which will not affect our time-keeping abilities according to the website listing?

A.negative emotions B.positive emotions C.adrenaline D.scientists

【3】According to the passage, in which situation don’t we make mistakes about time?

A.We wake up after a long nap.

B.We fall down from a high place.

C.We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.

D.We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.

【4】According to the passage, what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger?

A.Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.

B.We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.

C.Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.

D.We will forget far more details over a short period of time.

【5】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Negative emotions make time seem longer.

B.We feel like time is going more slowly while having fun.

C.Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it.

D.If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, maybe we can't correctly perceive time again soon.

26、   The well－known “four new great inventions” of modern China have made our daily lives more convenient.

High－speed trains

China created its first high－speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on the trains. By 2020, one fifth of the country's 150, 000km railway network will be used by high－ speed trains. This network will link more than 80 percent of major cities across China.

Shared bikes

China has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays, bike users can simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smartphone apps. China's two leading bike－sharing companies, Mobike and Ofo, have been opening their overseas markets in Singapore, the UK and the United States.

Online shopping

With around 751 million Internet users, China has been the world's largest and  fastest － growing online shopping market.

27、It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee. While waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness. I saw their bodies, but I couldn’t feel their souls (灵魂) because their souls belonged to the Net.

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. “I am Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time playing a computer game — a war game. I was surprised.

Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek (痴迷者), but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction. I was unhappy. I put my hand in front of the monitor and he shouted, “Leave me alone.” I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people, especially Steve. I wouldn’t predict the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and deep in my thought. I didn’t even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.

【1】What does the underlined word “monitor” mean in Chinese?

A．主机

B．鼠标

C．检测器

D．显示器

【2】Why didn’t Steve want to talk to the writer? Which of the following is WRONG?

A．Because he was chatting online.

B．Because he was busy at that time.

C．Because he thought the writer was ugly.

D．Because he was playing a computer game.

【3】According to the passage, which word can best describe Steve?

A．Indifferently.

B．Generous.

C．Patient.

D．Polite.
