問題詳情：

     Do you often feel that you haven’t afford got enough time to carry out all the plans drawn up at the beginning of the year, and a new year is drawing near unexpectedly? If you have the same feeling, you are not alone. It feels like time speeds up every year.

     Scientists claim that over thousands of years, great changes have taken place. However, time is mysterious and unique. No matter what happens in the world, time seems to turn a blind eye to the outside world. Whether it is in the past, at present, or in the future, time would not vary with the development of the world. It remains the same and operates at a relatively steady speed.

According to a recent study, smart phones，tablets and other digital products have trained our brains to process more information, causing us to think time is passing faster than it really is. Even just reading a simple advertisement on the digital device, the people who were experimented on thought time passed more quickly, compared with the other group that read a long monologue(獨白)from a real book.

“It’s almost as though we’re trying to keep step with the technology, and do things more quickly and more efficiently,” Dr. Mcoughlin from James Cook University said.“It seems like there’s something about technology itself that speeds up our pacemakers which measure the passing of time.”

Researchers note that in order to stop time from rushing by, we should reduce the time spent online and prevent the pacemaker moving fast findings prove what most people have known: we need to stop and smell the roses.
