Does the time really fly?

It was Lunar New Year and I‟d returned home for the traditional dinner. We
had all finished eating when my sister said, „Has it really been a year since
we last sat down for a family meal? Where has the time gone?‟

We often say that „time flies‟. It‟s a saying that means time passes very
quickly. Curiously, as we get older, time seems to pass faster and faster.
Why does this happen? Some people think that we had fewer new or
important events in our lives as we get older. Years seem longer when we
were young because many things are happening. Also, time isn‟t so
important as we get older. Children often count the days until a special
event. When we get older, we have too many things to think about.

Luckily, time doesn‟t actually pass faster as we get older. A day still has 24
hours and an hour still has 60 minutes. Maybe we need to find a way to slow
down our lives and not try to be busy all the time.

1. The writer‟s sister feels surprised. ___

2. The saying „Time flies‟ means that time passes faster as we grow
older. ________
3. Time is more important when we‟re young. ___
4. According to the writer, times really flies. ___
 5. The writer thinks we should do more things in our lives to make time pass
more slowly. ________
