13、ime,we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when were exposed（接 触）to new environments and experiences.The law is caused by the relationship between ourexperience of time and the amount of information our minds process.The more i
14、nformation ourminds take in,the slower time seems to pass.It follows,then,that we have different experiences of time in different situations.In somesituations,our life is full of new experiences.Our minds process a lot of information and timeseems to slow down.In other situations,we have fewer new e
15、xperiences and the world aroundus becomes more and more familiar（熟 悉 的）.We become insensitive to our experience,whichmeans we process less information,and time seems to speed up.How can we slow down time?Here are two suggestions.Firstly,since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster,we can ex
16、pose ourselves to as manynew experiences as possible.We can give ourselves new challenges,meet new people,andexpose our minds to new information,hobbies and skills.This will increase the amount ofinformation our minds process and expand（增 力 H）our experience of time.Secondly,and perhaps most effectiv
17、ely,we can give our whole attention to an experience-towhat we are seeing,feeling,tasting,smelling or hearing.This means living through our sensesrather than through our thoughts.For example,on the way home,focus your attention outside ofyourself,instead of thinking about the problems you have to de
18、al with.Look at the sky,or at thebuildings you pass,traveling among them.This open attitude to your experiences helps take inmore information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree,we can understand and control our experience of time passing.Its possiblefor us to slow down time by

22、ably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in thefuture.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the informationto create that first impression in about three seconds.When you meetsomeone for the first time,by the time you have stated you name or shakenhands,the o

25、tter understanding of new things.This means that you can possibly befriendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solveproblems more quickly.So if you ever need a reason to be happy,think aboutthe wonderful people you might meet and impress-with a cheerful smile.46.What does
