40、person since Christmas.Time blindness is a term invented by doctors who treat people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍). Psychologist Ari Tuckman says adults typically develop an awareness of time and an ability to track its passing. Some people have what he calls “harder” or “sharper” time awareness: they know w

41、hen theyve been out for lunch for too long, or when something hasnt been in the oven for long enough. The others have much “softer” time awareness: they can miss appointments and trains. Time blindness can greatly impact someones life if they cant ever meet deadlines. People with ADHD are often more

42、 time-blind than others.Besides our own time awareness, Tuckman says, context plays a role: sleep loss, anxiety, being drunk and anything that might impact how we process the world can make us feel more time-blind. Without the usual time-marker cues we might use to divide up our days the school bus

43、arriving, the line at the coffee shop, or weekend nights spent at restaurants with friends were swimming in a sea of sameness.Sorrow is one of the biggest causes of time blindness, according to Tuckman.

47、ndness most easily?ASadness.BDeep thought.CSurprise.DHard-work.65. What can you learn about time blindness from the passage?A. It can greatly impact someones life if they cant meet deadlines occasionally.B. Without time-marker cues, we may feel time-blind.C. Time blindness is due to contextual facto

48、rs like sleep loss, anxiety and so on.D.
