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.” （1）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 sense（2）The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_.A . valueB . resultC . performanceD . connection（3）In the second experiment, the subjects _.A . could tell when they were stared at and when they werentB . could tell when they were stared at but couldnt tell when they werentC . couldnt tell when they were stared at but could tell when they werentD . couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent（4）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.15. （8分）阅读理解People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word mouth. But some of them are not so nice.Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that persons feelings. Or they tell the person something they didnt mean to tell. The speaker might say: I really put my foot in my mouth this time.Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: You took the words right out of my mouth! Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Or the person possibly has a very frightening(可怕的）experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: I had my heart in my mouth.Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth. He is the opposite of a person living from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.（1）The underlined word regret may mean _.

There are three basic questions.The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself！The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, Our school has a foreign teacher. But Im shy and cant speak to her. What should I do?When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China? These questions are quite simple, but they are good to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. Olive, from Anhui wrote, I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down, but I forget them quickly, what should I do?Try to remember eight or nine words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and put them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day.
