you turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. to research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, robert baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the university of kentucky, did two experiments.in the first one, baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. the subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching tv, or working at a computer. baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. later, when he questioned the subjects, almostall of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.for the second experiment, baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. the people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent. baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. if people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said baker, “i suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”52. the aim of the two experiments is to_.a. explain when people can have a sixth senseb. show how people act while being watched in the labc. study whether humans can sense when they are stared atd. prove why humans have a sixth sense53. the underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_.a. value b. result c. performance d. connection54. in the second experiment, the subjects _. a. could tell when they were stared at and when they werent. b. could tell when they were stared at but couldnt tell when they werent. c. couldnt tell when they were stared at but could tell when they werent. d. couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent.55. what can be learned from the passage?a. people are born with a sixth sense.b. the experiments support parapsychologists idea.c. the subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.d. people have a sixth sense in all places.iv. 任务型阅读请认真阅读下文并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一词。 when you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things that you should pay attention to. jobs and careers are fewer than you expect, especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. how are you going to find the job that you want and what should you avoid(避免) on your way? when you want to make use of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs.one of the most important rules is never to compromise(妥协) on the things you ask for or desire or it will badly affect your life and peace of mind. keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job. they might be something about monetary compensation or you might find they have something to do with time off. whatever they are, make sure that you do not accept a job without them. your requirements might not be easy to meet, but you have the right to try and achieve them. whats more, dont shy away from odd (临时的)jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in. sometimes, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of effort. and if something unexpected happens, remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something you might want to seriously consider. as long as you keep your goals in mind , you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search.if you are looking for the right job, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself. when you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. if required, give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have. make sure that you can show your skills and abilities. if the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging , set goals for yourself and work hard at them. the more efforts you put in marketing yourself, the more your chances of obtaining the job you like will be.remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not short-change yourself. this is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals.titlewhat to avoid during your job searchbrief introductionsatisfying jobs are fewer than 1 when hunting for a job, the
