In a fast changing world, people seldom see a device or equipment that lasts for a long time these days. There are always new inventions, different models, or upgrades cropping up one after the other and as consumers people highly anticipate the faster and better kind than what they already have. Therefore it is quite a surprise that a mini projecto r(投影仪) is still in use today not only in small scale businesses, schools, or homes but in big corporations and institutions as well. Sure it has a few additional features here and there but the main function is the same.
A mini projector today has been fitted with top of the line parts and high quality materials to ensure its efficiency and performance can meet the demands of whoever it is for. It is so designed that it can be used indoors or outdoors with the same functions. The mini projector, as the name suggests, is handy and compact and can easily be brought anywhere by just one person. It can support a broader scope of signals now; USB and card readers are now installed to cope with the pieces of equipments that people use today to store data.
It can be used at home where it can provide as a form of entertainment or start a conversation during family bonding times. The owner can easily use the mini projector to share with other members the photos and videos of one particular vacation, or just to play a series of beautiful landscapes.
Offices also benefit from a mini projector especially during an important meeting or presentation. With at par resolution (标准的分辨率), employees can easily decipher (辨认) the text or data with the use of a mini projector, its bright LED light is sufficient enough to provide a bright and clear image without distortion (变形). Users can now bring this anywhere with them and can be especially useful on a location where the voltage (电压) is unknown.
Perhaps one of the more common places where a mini projector is used constantly is in schools. Teachers or professors use this as an aid to a lesson or discussion to provide better visual aids than usual and to even deliver their lecture with the use of a mini projector and minimize the use of a board and writing pen. It is often said that children have a very short attention span but they remember things more when things are presented to them visually. This is the perfect use of a mini projector in classrooms where kids easily forget their lesson for the day. Teachers use this to show the class pictures or illustrations that tie with the topics for students to remember.

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. | | 1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show . | A. psychological time is quite puzzling
B. time should not be measured by a pendulum
C. physical time is different from psychological time
D. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time | | 2.Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older? | A. Our sense of time changes.

余选项。 | 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. | | 阅读理解。 | 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. | | 1. The word "neglected" underlined in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by "______". | A. ignored
B. destroyed
C. developed
D. explored | | 2. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? | 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. | 阅读理解。
