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 1 how quickly time has passed.
If you are familiar with this 2 , you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun-and 3 when you are bored. Now scientists have 4 a reason why this is the case.
Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 5 according to how we focus on a task. When we are 6 , we concentrate more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains 7 the clock is ticking more slowly.
In an experiment 8 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image 9 researchers monitored their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to 10 concentrate on how long an image appeared for, then 11 the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and color. The results showed that 12 was more active when the volunteers paid 13 subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is 14 focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to 15 its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. 16 , time passes without us really 17 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 18 energies on monitoring the passing of time. 19 , time seems to drag.
Next time you feel bored 20 , perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!
