32、had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day. I couldnt help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart
33、for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didnt allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job. Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me” w
34、as all he said. What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action.

Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or
66、 calendar. As someone 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 wing
67、s 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 st
68、ructured time 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 weve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when
69、 well 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 days become as identical as be
70、ads (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 dayto 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 fu
71、ll and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.【文章大意】本文主要讲述了物理时间和心理时间上的不同，以及怎样放慢我们的心理时间。56. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show _.A. psychological time is quite puzzlingB. time should
72、 not be measured by a pendulumC. physical time is different from psychological timeD. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time【答案】C【KS5U解析】细节理解题。句意：物理学家们创造出了极好的理论，但他们的时间是用钟摆测量的，这不同于心理时间，心理时间与时钟、日历没有关系。由此可见，这句话主要是告诉我们物理时间和心理时间是不同的。57. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow ol
73、der?A. Our sense of time changes.B. We spend less time at the beach.C. More time is structured and scheduled.D. We have too many appointments.【答案】C【KS5U解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass可知用日程表安排和预约的时间越多，时间过得就越快。因此答案为C。58. In
74、Paragraph 3 “novelty” probably means _.A. excitementB. unfamiliarityC. imaginationD. Amusement【答案】B【KS5U解析】词意猜测题。由第三段Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time可知，由于对旅程的未知，我们会觉得经过了很长时间。由此可推断出novelty 意为 unfamiliarity.59. Which
75、 statement is TRUE according to the article? A. Expectation makes time seem to run slowly.B. Sitting with a pretty girl always makes time flow fast.C. Learning a new language is a good way to slow time.D. A day at the office is longer than a day at the beach.【答案】C【KS5U解析】细节理解题。由文章最后一段Learning someth
76、ing new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time可知答案为C。60. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. give various explanations about timeB. describe how we experience time psychologicallyC. show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on timeD. explain why time flies and how to slow it
