The most important starting point in removing the time wasters in life is to know about them. We need to sit
24、 down and analyze the activities which take our time.Start by making a list of our activities and sort out the neither urgent nor important ones. Sometimes it could be a simple addiction to a TV Soap Opera, constant distractions, or even one of our core (核心的) activities that we are not excellent at
25、doing. We can, for instance, imagine that we are a business owner and we keep sabotaging our business deals, leading the company into great financial problems.

26、ake sure that we plan our daily activities. One of the obvious reasons is that we will have an upper hand in fighting against time wasters in our schedule.

27、we are sure to notice that some have a more positive impact on our success while others have a negative one. It is important to be able to distinguish them especially with regard to our schedule. While we do not advocate for everyone to throw away relationships, it is good to know that helping a fri

32、at what sets a scream apart from other sounds is its loudness. However, many sounds that are loud do not raise goose bumps like screams can. To find out what makes human screams unique, neuroscientist Luc Arnal and his team examined a bank of sounds containing sentences spoken or screamed by 19 adul
33、ts. The result shows screams and screamed sentences had a quality called “roughness,” which refers to how fast a sound changes in loudness. While normal speech sounds only have slight differences in loudnessbetween 4 and 5 Hz, screams can switch very fast, varying between 30 and 150 Hz, thus conside
34、red to be rough and unpleasant.Arnals team asked 20 subjects to judge screams as fearful or not, and found that the scariest are almost always connected with roughness. The team then studied how the human brain responds to roughness using fMRI brain scanners (磁共振颅脑扫描仪 ). As expected, after hearing a
35、 scream, activity increased in the brains hearing centers where sound coming into the ears is processed. But the scans also lit up in the amygdale (脑扁桃体), the brains fear center.The amygdala is the area that responds to danger. When a threat is detected, our adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises, and our body pre
36、pares to react to danger.
