20、the people, and gave a public notice that he would generously reward any person who invented a new amusement for the occasion.Various public performers competed for the prize. Among them came a Buffoon who was well known for his jokes. He said that he had a kind of performance which had never been b
21、rought out on any stage before. This report was quickly spread about, and the theater was crowded in every part. The Buffoon appeared alone upon the platform and the very sense of expectation caused silence. He suddenly bent his head towards his bosom and imitated the sound of a little pig so wonder
22、fully with his voice that the audience thought he had a pig under his cloak (斗篷), and demanded that it should be taken out. When that was done and nothing was found, they cheered the actor, and gave him the loudest applause (掌声).A Countryman in the crowd said, “He shall not beat me at that trick!” a
23、nd at once announced that he would do the same thing on the next day, though in a much more natural way. On the following day, a still larger crowd gathered in the theater, but the audience came rather to make fun of the Countryman than to see his performance. Both of the performers appeared on the
24、stage. The Buffoon performed first, and again obtained the applause and cheers of the audience. Next the Countryman started, and pretending that he hid a little pig beneath his clothes (which in truth he did, but not found by the audience) tried to take hold of and pulled his ear causing the pig to
25、make a sound. The crowd, however, cried out that the Buffoon had given a far more exact imitation, and asked for the Countryman to be kicked out of the theater.Finally, the Countryman produced the little pig from his cloak and showed the most positive proof of their mistake. “Look here,” he said, “t

30、s to fly by. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?According to the Daily Mail, our brainsdegradeas we get older. That decreases the amount of information we can deal with in a single day. “The human mind senses time changing when the perceived (被感知的) images change,” Adrian Bejan from Du
31、ke University, US, told the Daily Mail. “The present is different from the past because the mental viewing has changed, not because somebodys clock rings.”Infants (幼儿), for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because theyre processing (处理) images at a faster rate. They deal with a l
32、arge amount of information and do many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This ca
33、uses things to seem as though theyre happening more quickly.Apart from the degradation of our brains, some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently.People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled (回忆) within a certain period. When we think about o
34、ur youth, we may remember a life packed with firsttime activities, for example, our first time traveling without our parents, or our first date. We experienced these events so vividly that time then seems to us to have passed very slowly. According to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine
35、 in the US, recalling these memories makes us feel like they took forever.Many adults find life is routine and sometimes dull. For this reason, when they look back, they might feel like there are not many exciting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.36What does the
36、underlined word “degrade” mean?Abecome betterBbecome worseCremain the sameDbecome smaller37How do people sense time changing according to Adrian Bejan?AIt depends on how their clocks change.BIt depends on how the views around them change.CIt depends on how often they move their eyes.DIt depends on h
37、ow they process images.38What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?ATo tell us that firsttime activities are vivid and memorable.BTo tell us that firsttime events can make time pass slowly.CTo tell us that psychological reasons make people sense time differently.DTo tell us that people should measu
38、re time by the number of memorable events.39Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?ABecause our life will become routine and dull when we grow older.BBecause the degradation of our brains will make it slower to recall memories.CBecause well deal with less information in the same amount of

To a certain degree, its a matter of logic (逻辑) of being able to spot weakness in other
40、peoples arguments and to avoid them in your own. _41_In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinkingthe ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas. _42_ The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was really available and put it t
41、ogether differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speaking class, the answer is quite a lot. As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. _43_ If the structur
42、e of your speech is loose (松散的) and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a mater of arranging your ideas you already have. Rather, it is an
43、 important part of shaping the ideas themselves._44_ The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a more effective thinker in a number of ways. As you work on expressing your ideas in clear accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. As you stud
44、y the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication as well. As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations._45_ This is one reason public s
