In a refugee camp, a refugee named Peter Gatkuoth wrote about the i 95 of the solar flashlight. “If we meet a thief, we will turn on our solar flashlight and the thief will run away. If a ‎ person is sick 96 at night, we will use the flashlight to take him to the health center.

But when the bell for the next class rings, you can't believe how    85   time has passed. 　　If you are familiar with this scene, you'll know how time flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case. 　　Scans（扫描仪）have shown that patterns of activity in the brain    86    according to how we focus on (专心于) a task. When we feel    87    we concentrate（专心于） more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly. 　　In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory. 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity. 　　The volunteers were told to first concentrate on    88    an image appeared for, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration(持续时间) and color. The results showed that     89    was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects. 　　It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays   90   attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its    91    energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag. 　　Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying! 　　85. A) slowly                     B) quickly            C) terribly               D) foolishly 　　86. A) change                     B) develop           C) grow                 D) stop 　　87.

Instead, they go out on group dates. This means that small groups of young people go out with each other. All of the people in the group are usually friends, but some in the group may not know before. 　　As a result, every person pays for his or her expenses. This means that the girls must pay for their admission(入场) tickets for the movies, for a cup of coffee, or for a  _ 97    else that they spend on during the date. 　　The group is very different from the traditional date.
