We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.

    In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website. All that S interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions (印象) we often have about time. Let's have a look.

    First of all, emotions affect (影响) our time-keeping abilities. Negative emotions (消极情绪). especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate (集中) more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of (失去对……的意识) time.

    Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.

    This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details (细节) over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.

    Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps (午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive (感知) time again.

    Yes, time can be mysterious (神秘的) and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

Did you know that a seed (种子) can have its own "ID card"? The "card" shows that the seed is at the national crop germplasm bank (国家作物种质库) in Beijing, known as China's seed bank.

A seed's journey to the seed bank starts with a census (普查). China's latest census of seeds started in 2021 and ended in 2023, reported CCTV News. Workers collected more than 139,000 new seeds from all over the country. They then arrived at the seed bank.

When seeds first come in, they each get a number for their "physical examination". For example, workers put all kinds of corns from different farms together. Then they put them into groups according to the seeds' look or taste.

Next, workers check the seeds to make sure they're healthy and all the unhealthy ones are given up. A worker at the seed bank showed CCTV News a seed that had a large insect (虫子) inside it, "A seed like this should not be saved," he said.

With the bad seeds gone, workers then test the good ones to see how likely they are to grow. The seed bank has a quick, smart way of doing this: Workers test the seeds and use the information they get to predict (预测) their growth. Workers dry and weigh the best seeds after several tests. Then, they're stored in fridge at -18℃.

China's seed bank keeps all the seed information safe and helps people learn about them. This can help develop new plants that can grow better and deal well with hard environments, ensuring (确保) the food safety of the country.

How do you go to work? Ride a bike? Take a bus? Take a car? Swim across river? In the city of Xishan, the Bingjiang river has become a famous swimming place, because some people swim along with their own things in the river to go to work.

To get from point A to point B, people in Xishan don't just swim with their clothes on, but instead pack (打包) their own things into the special bag. This bag will keep everything dry until they reach their destinations (目的地).

"I use 5 minutes walking from my home to the river. And I only use 10 minutes to swim across the river and 5 minutes to walk to my office. I have a special swim bag which I can put all my things in. But I used one hour to go to work by bus before." Li Hua, a local says.

The traditional traffic tools like cars and buses not only cause heavy traffic but also produce too much pollution in our daily life. Maybe it's time for us to change our ways to go to work.

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly or when your best friend does not wait for you after school？If you do，you need to control （控制） your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.

Gary Egeberg，an American high school teacher，wrote My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells boys and girls how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says getting angry is not a natural way to act.  It is just a bad habit，like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily，and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.

When a baby falls over，it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby，you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.

The book gives much advice to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.

①Keep a record （记录）. Every time you get angry，write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.

②Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will help you calm down soon.

③Do something different. When you get angry，walk away from the problem. Try to laugh!

When you think of the sea,you may not think of Xinjiang.In the public impression,Xinjiang is often remembered as somewhere far from the sea with long hours of sunlight,a vast Gobi desert,and mountains with a dry climate, unsuitable for seafood production because of the great amount of water needed.      However,Xinjiang now welcome a big harvest of local"seafood",such as shrimp and crabs.The most important thing for 'seafood' products is water

Xinjiang has many rivers and lakes with water from the melting snow and glaciers of the Tianshan Mountains

"With the mountains on the side, there is almost no pollution,which keeps the water clean and favors the growth of the fish,"said Li Chunyu,the head technician of the local farm.

Also, land in Xinjiang has a lot of salt.This is not good for growing crops.But"one man's  rubbish is another  man's  treasure".The  land  makes  the  underground  water  salty.People  turn  it  into  "man-made

seawater".They then use it to raise sea fish,shrimp and crabs

Many people are worried about the safety of seafood because of the nuclear-polluted water(核污染水) Some  even  feel  upset  since  they  may  no  longer  enjoy  any  seafood.Luckily,in  2024,the  production  of Xinjiang's  "seafood"has reached to 86000 tons.Now,some  of Xinjiang's "seafood"goes to many  cities in China.It also goes to countries in  Southeast Asia.It turns out that Xinjiang's"seafood"is becoming a new and favorable choice for seafood lovers.
