We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from. In fact, this is one of the ways that we’re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let’s have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities. Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose feeling of time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was. This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps (午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That’s because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly feel time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

If someone says to you “give me five”, don't give five yuan to him! It will make others laugh! The person is not asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the USA, “give me five” or “give me the high five” is a good gesture(手势). It means the slapping(拍) of each other’s right hands together. People do it when something happy happens. For example, if a student gets an “A” in the exam or gets No.1 in the school sports meeting, he will give the high five to his friends to celebrate.
Who did this gesture first? Why did he or she do that? There are many different stories about how the high-five began.
One common story about the first high-five goes like this: A very long time ago, some Americans met a group of wild animals, and to celebrate it they put their hands up into the air. At that very moment, they just wanted to hit each other to show their excitement. Whatever the origin(起源) of the high-five is, it is an important part of American culture. Next time you meet an American, give a high-five and make your new friend feel right at home.
