Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings？The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
   I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things，and it worked.Because of our efforts，our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness.She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund（基金）（our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor）.
   For weeks，I've been thinking of bigger，deeper questions：How do we make it a habit for them？And how do we train ourselves to help them live with，need，and use less？Yesterday，I sat with my son，Shepherd，determined to test my own theory on this.I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest.I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes，ten minutes，max.I chose a red rubber ball-simple，universally available.We passed it，he tried to put it in his mouth，he tried bouncing it，rolling it，sitting on it，throwing it.It was totally，completely enough for him.Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
   We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together.He had my full attention and I had his.My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.

1．It appears to fit with most people's experience：how Christmas seems to come around quicker every year？Questionnaires by psychologists have shown almost everyone feels time is passing faster now compared to when they were half or a quarter as old.Most strikingly，lots of experiment have shown that，when older people are asked to guess how long the time is，or to'reproduce' the length of periods of time，they guess a shorter amount than younger people.
   In 1877，Paul Janet suggested the proportional theory，where a child of 10 feels a year as I 10 of his whole life while a man of 50 as 1/50，so the subjective sense of the 50-year-old man is that：these are insignificant periods of time which gallop.
   There are also biological theories.The speeding up of time is linked to how our metabolism （新陳代謝）gradually slows down as we grow olden Children's hearts beat faster than They breathe more quickly.With their blood flowing more quickly，their body clocks "cover" more time within the space of 24 hours than ours do as adults.On the other hand，older people are like clocks that run slower than normal，so that they lag behind，and cover less than 24 hours.
   In the 1930s，the psychologist Hudson Hoagland found body temperature causes different perceptions of time.Once，when he looked after his ill wife，he noticed she complained he'd been away for a long time even if only away for a few moments.Therefore，Hoagland tested her perception of time at different temperatures，finding the higher her temperature，the more time seemed to slow down for her，and that raising a person's body temperature can slow down his sense of time passing by up to 20%.
   Time doesn't necessarily have to speed up as we get older though.It depends on how live our lives，and how we relate to our experiences.

（1）What do the questionnaires and experiments find？

A．Time now is shorter than before.
B．Aging makes people think slowly.
C．The old feel time flies faster than the young.
D．The old value time more than before.
（2）What does the underlined word "gallop" in Paragraph 2 mean？

A．Fly swiftly.
B．Pause briefly.
C．Move slowly.
D．Pass stably.
（3）According to Hudson Hoagland，who may feel time go more slowly？

A．A kid with slower metabolism.
B．A child with low body temperature.
C．A grown-up feeling freezing.
D．An adult with a high fever.
（4）What is the best title for the passage？

A．How time flies!
B．To live a full life!
C．Why time passes at different speeds？
D．How to save more time？

2．Last week，my younger brother visited me for five days，To ensure I could spend as much time with him as possible，I worked extra hard during the weekend before he arrived.
   It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient.During the week，I put in a couple of hours in the mornings to handle pressing issues and then spent the afternoons and evenings going out with him.Once again，I was surprised to realize just how much free time was available to me if I consciously chose to be more effective while working. This made me think of Parkinson's Law：Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
   I realized then that I'd given myself more time than necessary for work，and as a result，I ended up spending lot of toe procrastinating （拖延）and entertaining myself online.
   How might things change for me，I wondered，if I chose to commit to more social and recreational （休閑娛樂(lè)）activities，made them priorities（優(yōu)先事項(xiàng)）and was motivated to finish work quicker？
   I realize not everyone has flexibility in their work schedules，but I believe we could all create more time for ourselves if we were motivated to cut out the choices that don't match our strongest desires and intentions.Maybe it's zoning out in front of the TV or searching the web.If there's one thing that's consumed my time the most，it's researching how I actually want to spend it.
   I believe what English musician John Lennon said is true：Time that you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.I don't think there's anything wrong with using technology if we've consciously chosen to do it.
   However，we owe it to ourselves to get out in the world and explore different possibilities to be playful curious，engaged and just to be.
   Perhaps it would be easier to do that if we asked ourselves：How can I be more effective？Can I minimize what I am currently doing？How can I start using the time I've created in a way that will excite and inspire me？
