You tum 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 “six 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, almost all 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 being stared at and when they werent. Baker found 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 they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”16 . Whats the aim of the two experiments for?AProve why humans have a sixth sense.BExplain when people can have a sixth senseCShow how people act while being watched in the lab.DStudy whether humans can sense when they are stared at.17 .

What is the writers opinion about the “the sixth sense”?AHe is not sure about it.BHe is sure that it doesnt exist（存在）.CHe wants us to find out together with him.DHe agrees with the parapsychologists.19 . What can we learn from the passage?APeople are born with a sixth sense.Bthe experiments support parapsychologists idea.Cthe subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.Dpeople have a sixth sense in all places.三、用所给单词的正确形式填空根据句意，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空限填一词。20 .

My parents and I sat on the bench in Washington, D.C.Union Station, waiting for the train. Inside the waiting hall were many people.A boy sat nearby. His worn jacket, pale face, dirty hands all seemed to tell me that he was homeless.“He must be cold and hungry. Maybe I should help him,” I said to myself.Just at that moment, a well-dressed young couple walked towards him.“Excuse me,” the man bent down. “My wife and I bought two meal boxes but one was enough for us. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?” he handed the boy a meal box.The boy thanked them and opened the box with joy and care. Suddenly he stopped. In the direction to which he looked, I saw an old man in rags-in a worn sweater, worn trousers and open shoes, entering the hall.Putting the meal box aside, the boy stood and helped the old to his seat. He took off his jacket and covered it on the old mans shoulders, saying, “A gentleman brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. I hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?” He placed the still-warm meal box in the old mans hands without waiting for an answer.“Sure, son, but if only you share that sandwich with me. Its too much for a man at my age. ”We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with cups of hot chocolate and a big pizza. Mum and dad went up to those rags, “Excuse me”I rushed into a KFC and took out my pocket money. It was so cold that afternoon but I felt much warm
