Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)
Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.
This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.
The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.

【参考译文】
假想一下你正行驶在一条熟悉的路上。这可能是你上下班的路,也可能是你进城的路,或者是你回家的路。不管是哪条路,你对路上的每一处转弯都了如指掌。在这样的路上行驶,你不会全神贯注于驾驶,也不会太多关注于沿途的风景。其结果就是你会认为路途之上所花的时间要少于其实际所用的时间。
这就是熟路效应:人们总会低估熟悉的路途上所花费的时间。
这种效应是由我们分配注意力的方式所引起的。当我们在熟知的路上行驶时,由于我们不必过于集中精力,时间似乎过得较快。并且,之后当我们回想这段旅程时,由于我们当时并没有怎么留意,因此对其也没有什么印象。我们从而觉得这段旅程更短。

【参考范文】
The pie chart above presents an expenditure structure of the residents during the Spring Festival in a Chinese city. Of all the expenses, money spent on gifts occupies as much as 40%, taking up the largest share. By comparison, that on transportation and on gathering dinners makes up 20% respectively. And miscellaneous cost accounts for the remaining 20%.
China is a nation that highly values courtesy and etiquette since ancient times, so it is not surprising that people spend more money on gifts than on other parts. As is known to all, Spring Festival is an important occasion in China for people to strengthen their personal relationships, during which most people will purchase and send gifts to their relatives and friends. In addition, the economic boom has brought increasing wealth to Chinese people, so they can afford those gifts they once thought too expensive to extend their best wishes and sincerest greetings to the people they cherish.
Although the consumption pattern shown in the pie chart conforms fully with Chinese traditional belief of valuing personal relationships, it is not a rational behaviour to spend so much on gifts, which will be inevitably becoming a burden to those with low income. Therefore, it is advisable to enhance people’s awareness of moderate consumption and encourage an alternative way of celebrating the Spring Festival.
