You have waited 40 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can’t how quickly time has passed.
If you are familiar with this scene, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and how slowly time goes when you are . Now scientists have a reason.
Scientists have found that patterns(模式) of activity in the brain according to how we pay our attention to a task. When we feel uninterested, we pay more attention to how time is passing. And this our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.
It is thought that the brain is busy focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its energy, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so , it concentrates its full energies on the passing of time. As a result, time seems to slow.

Deo sat staring straight ahead, so as to think about this. Then they were a bridge so high he felt he were in the airplanes again, and Muhammad said, “Manhattan,” and at a horizon of buildings impossibly tall, giant trees, like a sky of pillared (成柱状的) clouds at sunrise in the mountains. a time Deo began to notice vacant lots, and buildings with wood their windows. When Muhammad turned off a main avenue onto a side street, Deo wanted to ask, urgently, they were stopping here. A few yards away, a man stood urinating (撒尿) the wall of a building. The sidewalk was covered with empty cans and and all sorts of paper trash. Muhammad led the way a brick building with broken windows and letters scribbled(潦草地书写的) here and there on the walls. High up on one wall there were three letters , as if each letter were swollen: P E N. He followed Muhammad , the air reeking of urine and excrement (排泄物), up a staircase with a busted railing (破碎的栏杆), finally into a room with a dirty wooden floor, a room with door and no furniture. At the end of a hallway, there was a toilet, completely stopped up.
Muhammad said he stayed here to money. He didn’t have to pay rent for this room. His whole reason for being in New York was to and save as much as he could. He would be for Senegal in a few weeks. Deo should do as he had—work here for a while and save, then start a new life. But he should do this back in Africa, not in New York. “Because it’s so hard here,” Muhammad said.
