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(盯着）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.”34. The aim of the two experiments is to_. A. explain when people can have a sixth sense B. study how people act while being watched in the lab C. prove why humans have a sixth sense D. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at 35.The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_. A. value B. result C. performance D. connection36. In the second experiment, the subjects _. A. could tell when they were stared at B. could tell where they werent stared at C. couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent D. couldnt tell who they were stared at or who they stared at 37. What can be learned from the passage? A. People are born with a sixth sense. B. The experiments support parapsychologists idea. C. People have a sixth sense in all places. D. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments. CHave you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. Children dont know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge(挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives. 38. What does “Survival Holidays” mean according to the passage? _.A. Holidays to escape from home and parents B. Winter holidays for survival challengesC. Holidays in lonely places for exciting outdoor activitiesD. Summer holidays in the great outdoors 39. Which children may take part in “Survival Holidays”?A. Children from cities who have few outdoor activities.B. Children who want to improve their grades.C. Poor children who cannot afford to go to school.D. Children who always cause a lot of problems.40. In a “Survival Holidays” , children can not learn _.A. how to remain calm in different times B. how to get good grades in testsC. how to keep safe when they meet danger D. how to work with others in a team41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. No companies can hold “Survival Holidays”.B. Parents can take part in “Survival Holidays” with their children.C.

Reading informs you of whats happening around. Reading encourages you to think and imagine, think out of the box and imagine the impossible. In the past, people just read books, only books. Today, we have books online, which make reading easy. The web, our new storehouse of information is just a click away. But this in no way has stolen the magic of reading books, the sound of their pages flutter and their smell You can lie in bed with a book, but with a computer you possibly cant. No matter how you read, reading is important.Remember those bedtime stories? We read fun facts about animals, plants and the universe. We ask “whys” and “hows”. In books, we find their answers. Children who are introduced to reading at an early age are seen to have a better understanding of phonics (语音学). They master language skills easily, have a richer vocabulary and have greater reading abilities. Children, who grow up reading good books, mostly stand out. The way they think and act is very different from those who have never been introduced to reading. Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also shapes their personalities. Reading has a great influence on ones life. Teenagers are easily influenced by whatever they read. If inspirational stories and life experiences are read in ones teens, they can change a person for the better. They stay with him and keep encouraging him to achieve his goals and choose the right against the wrong.The more you read, the more creative and imaginative you will become. Reading develops vocabulary, improves language skills and sharpens your problem-solving abilities. It leads to a better understanding of self. Reading gives you knowledge, it makes you more confident. The more you read about others lives and experiences, a better decision-maker you will become. Reading about the importance of reading should lead you to read more, and more, and more. So choose a book you like and dont stop reading until you reach the end. And even after that read as much as you can. 42. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Children should start reading at a young age.B. Parents should tell their children stories every day.C. Teenagers should think and act differently from others.D. Students should find answers to their questions in books.43.

A. reading books is no longer a pleasure to peopleB. reading books is less interesting than reading onlineC. reading online cant be difficult for people D. reading online cant take the place of reading books44. What can we infer from the passage?A. No people read books now. B. What children should learn first is phonics.C. What children read may affect their future. D. More practice makes reading easier.45.
