A.The results explained why time passes quickly when we are dealing with more tasks
B.Time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored.
C.Volunteers were told to finish three different tasks in the study.
D.There are areas of the brain having the function of estimating time.
E.Concentrating on time passing is probably a more accurate perception of reality
F.Focusing on" the duration or the color the of image makes trips speed.
小题1:
Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain change depending on how we focus on a task. Concentrating on time passing, as we do when bored, will trigger brain activity which will make it seem as though the clock is ticking more slowly.
小题2:
In the study, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity using MRI scans.Volunteers were given a variety of tasks.In one they were told to concentrate simply on the duration of an image, in another they were asked to focus on the color, and in a third they were asked to concentrate on both duration and color.
小题3:
The results showed that a network of brain regions was activated when more subjects were paid attention to duration.It is thought that if the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task, then it has to spread its resources thinly, and pays less heed(注意) to time passing.Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly.
小题4:
However, if the brain is not stimulated in this way, it concentrates its full energies on monitoring the passing of time.This may make time seem to drag, but in fact the researchers found that the more volunteers concentrated on the duration of the images, the more accurate were their estimates of its duration.
小题5:
Lead researcher Dr Jennifer Coull said many of the areas of the brain involved in estimating time were the same that played a key role in controlling movement, and preparing for action.She said this overlap suggests that the brain may make sense of time as intervals between movements, in much the same way as a musician marks time with his foot, or an athlete anticipates the sound of a starter"s pistol(手枪).

The iPad is a tablet computer designed and developed by Apple.It is particularly marketed as a platform for audio and visual media such as books, periodicals, movies, music, and games, as well as web content.At about 700 grams (25 ounces), its size and weight are between those of most contemporary smart phones and laptop computers.Apple released the iPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million of the devices in 80 days.
The iPad runs the same operating system as the earlier iPod Touch and iPhone.It can run its own applications as well as ones developed for the iPhone.Without modification, it will only run programs approved by Apple and distributed via its online store.
Like iPhone and iPod Touch, the iPad is controlled by a multi-touch display ?a break from most previous tablet computers, which used a pressure-triggered stylus(尖笔).The iPad uses a Wi-Fi data connection to browse the Internet, load and stream media, and install software.Some models also have a 3G wireless data connection, The device is managed and synced(同步) by iTunes on a personal computer via USB cable.
Media reaction to the device has generally been neutral or positive, with more positive reaction after the device was launched.

[1] The year 2008 has one extra day in it--February 29th, why does this happen? Well, it actually takes the planet Earth a little more than 365 days to revolve completely around the sun. After four years an extra 24 hours have accumulated so an extra day is added to the calendar.
[2] It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England, the extra day wasn"t legally recognized. The British just leapt over that day. Therefore a year with 29 days in February is consequently called a leap year and that . If you are born on 29th February in a leap year, there are difficulties in celebrating your birthday. So people tend to celebrate on either 28th February or 1st March every year.
[3] There is a well-known tradition in the UK associated with 29th February, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose (求婚) to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back in the 5th Century, when a famous Irish saint, Bridget, complained to Saint Patrick, another famous Irish saint, that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend, Saint Patrick said any female longing for a proposal could ask their boyfriend to marry them on this additional day in February.
[4] Now in 2008, there are calls for 29th February to become a public holiday. Some people believe that it should be an official day off, because no one gets paid for working in a leap day. For the moment though, the British still have to go to work on this day.
