根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How long does a year last? 36. While your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
37. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and process new information to decline. Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. 38. However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they’re happening more quickly.
39. People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period. Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts, they seem to be in slow motion? That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever.
For many adults, life is a routine. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many novel things to remember. 40.
A.Children must say that a year lasts forever.
B.Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
C.Different people have different feelings toward time.
D.As we grow older, we become less interested in new things.
E.This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time.
F.According to scientists, our brains degrade and change over time.
G.In addition, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological reasons.
