You39。rapid fire39。 The new finding put forward by a Duke University researcher was published in a paper in the journal European Review this week According to Adrian Bejan, the J. A Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke, the physical changes of our nerves and neurons play, a major role in our perception (知覺) of time as we get old. Over the years these structures bee more plex and eventually begin to degrade.re processing images at a faster rate, Beian says, For older people, this means fewer images are being processed in the same amount of time, causing experiences to seem as though they39。Changes of our nerves and neurons.B.The electrical signals.D.Longer days.Aging brains.More images.Less experience.（3）Why do the days seem longer earlier in life? A.The younger brain takes less time to process information.C.Little babies move their eyes much more often.（4）What is the best title of the text?

After examining me, he said, You actually have bad posture (姿勢(shì)). Go off and learn the Alexander technique. Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better. The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inappropriate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines. So if you39。She felt no better after the treatment.B.She was sceptical about the doctor39。She was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache.（2）What is the principle of the Alexander technique?

Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world39。 Because plastic wasn39。 No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, the earth39。s attention with a rough estimate between million and 14 million tons of plastic waste each year just e from coastal regions.
