设想一下,你正开车行驶在一条非常熟悉的路线上。可以是你每天上下班、去城里、或者回家的路。不管是什么路,你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌,非常熟悉。在这样的路途
中,我们容易在开车的时候心不在焉,对途中的景色也几乎是全然不顾。结果是你觉得路途上所花的时间比实际要少。
这就是所谓的―熟悉路线效应‖:人们往往会低估在熟悉的线路上所花费的时间。 这种效应是由于我们注意力分配的方式不同引起的。如果我们行驶在熟悉的路线上,因为不需要太集中精力,会感觉时间流逝较快。以后,一旦回想这段路程,因为注意力没有集中在此,我们就会全然忘记。这样,我们就会觉得路程更短。

The pie chart above clearly illustrates the percentage of the residents‘ spending during the Spring Festival Vacation in a certain city of China. From the statistics given, we may draw the conclusion that the percentage of New Year presents is highest among all the four categories, at approximately 40%, whereas the data of transport, gathering and dining, as well as others account for about 20% respectively.
The fundamental factors that contribute to the aforementioned tendency may be summarized as follows. To start with, a New Year gift might be memorable because of the special occasion when people give it to you. If the present is something that only your best friend knew you had wanted, you will never forget it in that it shows the closeness of your relationship with that friend. In addition, festival presents might be unforgettable since they are related to significant events in your life. For instance, I still remember the first New Year gift my best friend, Neo gave me. In summary, people spend a lot on Spring Festival presents for a large number of reasons. Some gifts might be memorable owing to the special person who gave the gift. Others are unforgettable due to the significance of the event. Most of all, it is easy to remember special presents as they give you a significant sense of personal worth. (225 words)
