The Great Fire of London started at around 1:00 a.m. on 2nd September, 1666. The fire started in the home of a baker named Thomas Farynor (Farriner), located on London’s Pudding Lane.

Thomas wasn’t an ____7____ baker. Actually, he was King Charles II’s baker.

If you are familiar with this scene, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case.

Scans (扫描仪) have shown that patterns of activity in the brain ____14____ according to how we focus on a task. When we feel ____15____, we concentrate (专心于) more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.

In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.

The volunteers were told to first concentrate on ____16____ an image appeared for, then focus on the colour of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and colour. The results showed that the ____17____ was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.

It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays ____18____ attention to the clock.
