A group of old classmates，who have succeeded in their work，got together to visit their teacher.Their conversation soon turned to complaining(抱怨) about the stress(压力) in their work and life.The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups.Some of the cups are expensive and lovely，but some are cheap and not beautiful.The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand，the teacher said，“Have you noticed all the nice­looking expensive cups were taken，leaving behind the cheap ones？It's OK for you to want only the best for yourselves，but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you're very successful now.”

“All of you really wanted the coffee，not the cups，but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.”

“Now think about this：life is the coffee，and money and position in society are the cups.They are just tools to hold life.They do not change the quality(质量) of life.Sometimes，

4

we just care about the cups，and we fail to enjoy the coffee.So，don't let the cups drive you，enjoy the coffee instead.”

( )46.The students who visited the teacher ______. A．are satisfied with their workB．are successful in their studiesC．are successful in their work

( )47.The teacher took out cups ______.

A．for the students to have coffeeB．to show to the studentsC．for the students to have a look

( )48.The teacher noticed that the students ______.

A．liked the cheap cups B．only took the best cupsC．were drinking coffee

( )49.Why did the students have the stress in the work and life? A．Because they really wanted coffee. B．Because they didn't have good cups.

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes' break.But when the bell for the next class rings，you can't believe how quickly time has passed.If you have this experience，you'll know how time flies when you are having fun and how time drags_when you are bored.Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens.

They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to how we direct our attention to a task.When we are bored，we pay more attention to how time is passing.And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.

Recently some researchers who want to understand the conditions carried out an experiment.In the experiment，twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored(关注) their brain activity.

The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared，then the color of the picture，and thirdly，study the both.The results showed that the brain was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.

It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspects(方面) of a task，it has to spread its resources，and pays less attention to the clock.Therefore，time seems to go quickly.If the brain is not so active，it spends its full energy on the passing of time.As a result，time seems to move slowly.

Next time you feel bored in class，perhaps you should concentrate on what the teacher is saying.

( )51.What does the underlined word “drags” probably mean? A．Passes slowly. B．Runs quickly. C．Moves actively. ( )52.What have the scientists found?

5

A．Time goes by fast when we have nothing to do. B．The ten minutes' break is important to students.

C．The brain works in different ways in different situations. ( )53.How did the researchers do the experiment? A．By inviting the volunteers to have a long class. B．By asking the volunteers to pay attention to a clock.

C．By monitoring brain activity while volunteers are watching a picture. ( )54.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．We will be full of energy if we're busy.

B．Concentrating on things is a way to make people less bored.

C．Time goes slowly when the brain is noticing many things at the same time. ( )55.Which is the best title for the passage? A．The best way to save time

B．The importance of planning time

C．The reason for time flying and dragging
