Blue Lightning

Sally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go-kart

to enter for the Go-Go Race. So she asked her dad for help.

How about this: you do some research first and then come back to

me with a design.

A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart

Blue Lightning ”Da. d looked over her work, thinking. Well, that ' sin teresting,he ”

said. Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you ' ve designed.

Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.

After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. “ Well, ” she said. wanted me to have a Now I know wh
test drive. ”

“ Oh, do you? ” he said. “ Please share. ”

“ When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback, ” she said. “ I think it '

the lightning bolt ( 闪电 ) shape. ”

“ Very good! ” Dad said.

“ So, why didn ' t you tell me about that problem in the first place?

Dad laughed. for

Sally said,

Dad smiled.

“ Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how

to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way. ”

That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with

pride.

Finally came the race. Sally wasn ' t worried about whether she would win — in her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.
24. Sally thought of building a go-kart to .

processes behind our different experiences of time, we might be able to slow down time a

little.

One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we ' re exposed ( 接触 ) to new environments and experiences. The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time
and the amount of information our minds process. The

more information our minds take in, the slower time seems to pass.

It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some

situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to

slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and

more familiar ( 熟悉的 ) . We become insensitive to our

experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up.

How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.

Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many

new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds

to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process

and expand ( 增加 ) our experience of time.

Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we

are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than

through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of

thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass,

traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has

a time-expanding effect.

To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing.

It ' s possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.

27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by .

A. going to bed on time B. traveling to new places

C. having dinner as usual D. printing the same materials

28. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.

B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.

C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.

D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.

29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Slow Down Time B. Only Time Will Tell

C. Race Against Time D. Time Will Not Come Twice

How Much Can We Afford to Forget?

In 2018, Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students. Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can access ( 获得 ) knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?

Civilizations ( 文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural (农业的) Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines give us access
to most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?
Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen. For one,human beings have biases (偏 见)， and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective,but mac
