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 track of(失去对….的意识) 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(细节)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 perceive(感知) 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.

● Brush your teeth the right way.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can, brush after lunch or after sweet snacks(快餐), too.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Brush all your teeth, not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the sides and back of your mouth. Brush away from your gums(齿龈), too.
Spend at least three minutes each time you brush. Play a song you like to help pass the time.
Get a new toothbrush every three months. When you buy your tooth brush, be sure it has soft bristles(鬃毛).

Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush cannot get to, like the space between the teeth. Flossing can help get rid of it. Carefully move the floss between two teeth, up and down. You need to floss your teeth at least once a day.

A game of “catch” is just two people throwing a ball back and forth (来回地). They might have baseball               , or they might use their hands.In fact, playing catch is part of baseball          to make you get used to using a ball and a glove. But any American kid will tell you it’s much more than that.
Playing catch is a time for kids to be with their          . It’s a time when there’s nothing to worry about besides catching a ball. It’s a time when words move as smoothly as the ball itself back-and-forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to spend time          .When you ask some adults(成年人) to          the good memories of their dads, they nearly always say something about playing catch. Why? Probably because dads are usually very          with their work. A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has his or her dad’s attention. There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away          you. For the time of playing a game of catch—your dad is all          .

More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle.  He walked around, showing off his power and pride.
Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree.  He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.
One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws.  Lion woke up with a start.  “How dare you wake me up! ”  he shouted angrily.  Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw.  “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal.”, he said.
Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare(饶恕) me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness.  And, some day, I might be able to help you.”
“ How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go.  A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net.  The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn’t escape.
When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咬)through the ropes to make a hole in the net.  Soon, Lion moved out and was free.
