| Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us.Physicists have created fascinating theories, 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 some-one who understood the distinction observed, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours." Psychologists have long 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 schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass.For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for 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 idea 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 was become as identical as identical as beads(小珠子)on a string, they mix 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 one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn"t have to be. |

| In the early 1950s, researchers found that people scored lower in intelligence tests if they could speak more than one language. 1 So which one of them is right? There is a new finding recently. Researchers showed their latest studies at a meeting in February, 2011. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual(双语的)does not necessarily make people smarter. 2 . Imagine you are driving down the highway. There are many things that could draw your attention and you really need to be able to notice all of them. 3 Why? The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention. The best method to measure it is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown words in different colors. The person needs to tell the colors of the words. 4 For example, the word "blue" might be written in red, but you have to say red. You need to ignore the word and pay more attention to its color so that you can say correctly. The bilingual people continually practise this function because both languages are active in their mind at the same time. 5 Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning and are more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in suffering from dementia (痴呆症). |
| A. This would be easier if you are bilingual. B. The problem is that the words are all names of colors. C. This would be very difficult for them to achieve. D. However, another research in the 1960s showed the opposite. E. They would be cleverer than other people. F. In addition, it might help people in other ways, too. G. But researchers say it probably does make people better at certain skills. |

| The area of child psychology is one of the most significant and well studied of all the branches of psychology. It aims to help with achieving a greater understanding of the behavior of children through an understanding of their minds. It deals with children who range from the prenatal (出生前的) stage right up to the stage of adolescence. The psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) has been credited with making a major breakthrough in this area when he put forward his idea that children were not actually less intelligent than adults, rather they just thought in a different way. Preciously the development of children right from birth through to adulthood was an area that was almost completely neglected. In fact very little work was done in this area. However, interest in this field has now developed to the point of being one of the most debated of all the areas of psychology. Despite popular belief that factors such as genetics or personal characteristics are the only determining factors that influence a youth"s behavior, this is not in fact the case. In reality, development actually includes many more factors than those contained within an individual. Factors such as environment, which can include social relationships and the surrounding culture, also play important roles. Relationships with both peers and adults will no doubt affect how children think and learn, and therefore develop. These relationships can include those that are found not only within families but also in schools and peer groups. Culturally speaking, this factor will contribute greatly to how children develop their personality concerning the values they end up holding (perhaps for a lifetime) as well as how they view such things as traditions and customs. Nowadays, psychologists have agreed that a child"s psychology is both unique and highly complex. However, there are debates on many different points in this field and many viewpoints exist. |

| A. Popular belief about child psychology. B. The role families play in a child"s development. C. Factors that affect a child"s development. D. The importance of relationships to a child. |
| 3. The author"s purpose in writing the passage is to ____. |
| A. introduce an important psychologist. B. give a brief introduction to child psychology. C. compare some of the areas of psychology. D. explain the development in psychology. |

| Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences. Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were stereotypically boys" toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls" toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded. Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents" view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children"s choice. Dr Brenda Todd said: "Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given "toys that go" while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts(本能), while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby." |
