题目内容
Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble----and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感觉知觉).
ESP stands for Extra sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let you know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
Here is an example: a woman was doing washing. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The woman’s father had died of a heart attack. He died sitting in the chair.
There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental messages. Here is another example---one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said: “There is room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The driver said, “There is room for one more.” Then the man saw the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He would not get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others, including some scientists say that ESP is true. From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.
I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.
That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
“Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
“Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
“How much did all of this coat?”
“Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”
I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.

Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.

Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. Most Chinese school kids have probably never seen an Indian film.

There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. The result is a fun-filled musical.
53._________ There is never any mention of politics, poverty or war. The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audiences don’t mind.

The films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all.
