20．A gust of wind blew a canvas chair across the yard．My eyes followed the circling dirt out to the road and down toward the school bus stop．I was going to miss walking down the road to
catch the big school bus that took us into town to school．I enjoyed being with the teachers and the  other  students．Now  that  I  was  finished  with  school  I  seemed  to  have  lost  some  of  the excitement from my life．
As  I was  folding  the  canvas chair，Chatita Chávez drove  into our yard  in her  father's old truck．It made short loud sounds and sent out a trail of black smoke out of its tailpipe．She got out smiling as usual and excitedly pointed toward the storm that seemed to be moving toward us．
"I can't stay long，Nilda．There's a storm coming and I need to beat it home．"
I was glad to see her．"Yes，I think we're in for some bad weather．Come on in and have a cup of coffee at least，"I said as I took her into our kitchen．
"I'm so excited，Nilda!You'll never guess what I just did!"
I stopped pouring the coffee and turned and looked at her．
"I just went over to Edinburg and registered for junior college，"she said and looked at me and smiled．"Don't you want to go take classes with me？"
     I was astonished．I didn't know what to say．How could I go to college？I didn't have any money．I  gave  Chatita  a  cup  of  coffee．"I  don't  know．I  don't  think  I  can．Isn't  college expensive？"
Chatita  sat down  at  the  table  and began  adding  sugar  to her  coffee．"Not  really，and I'm working part-time at the packing shed（棚）on Canal Road．You could work there，too．"
The wind  began  to  gust  causing  the  house  to  occasionally make  sounds  and  shake．The lightbulb  hanging  over  the  table  flashed  off  and  on  and  I  heard  a  low  roll  of  thunder  in  the distance．
I hesitantly asked，"Do you think I could get a job at the packing shed？"
"Sure．My cousin is the boss．He'll give you a job．"
Mamá  came  into  the  kitchen  and  exchanged  greetings with Chatita．She must have  heard our conversation．
"I  think  it's  nice  that  you're  going  to  go  to  college，Chatita．What will  you  study？"my mother asked as she joined us at the table．
"I want to be a teacher．"
"A teacher!How nice!"Mamá said as she patted Chatita's arm．
"A teacher？"I asked．"Don't you need a degree？"
"You can start teaching before you get your degree．Clarence Duncan has been teaching in Brownsville since last year and I think Zulema will start this year．"
The lightbulb blinked again and went out．Mamá quickly arose from the table．"I'm going to have to bring in the lanterns．I knew I shouldn't have packed them away．"
"Well，Nilda，do you want to go？Because，if you do，you can go over to Edinburg with me tomorrow．"
I hesitated，then said，"Yes．I want to go．"My heart was beating fast．I couldn't believe how happy I was feeling．
"But I have to talk to Mamá and Papá．What if they won't let me？"
"You can at least go with me tomorrow and find out what it's all about．I'll come by for you around eight．"
Chatita left me sitting at the table staring at my cup of coffee．It seemed so unreal，this idea of me going to college．My parents had never had the opportunity for much education．Juana had quit school  to get married and Roberto and Zeke had graduated from high school as I had．But college？I would be the first one in my family to go to college．Yes，college was exactly what I wanted．
The day had  turned dark and  the  rain had started．My mother  came back  into  the kitchen with two lanterns．
"Mamá，I need to ask you something．"
She picked up a cloth and began to clean the dust from the lanterns．She looked at me and smiled．
"Mamá，if  I  could  find  a way  to pay，could  I  take  classes  at  the  junior  college？"I  asked，trying to control my excitement．
She stopped cleaning and raised her eyebrows．"What would you study，my daughter？"
"I think I want to be a teacher，"I quietly replied．
Mamá sat down at the table across from me．"Then，I would like for you to go to college，"
she said in a serious tone．
"What about Papá？Do you think he will allow me to go？"
"Your  father wants  you  to  be  happy．If  going  to  college  and  being  a  teacher makes  you happy，then he will probably allow it，"she answered．
I didn't say anything．I was enjoying the feeling of happiness and sense of wonder that had come over me．The two of us sat in the darkened room without speaking until  I saw my mamá rubbing her eyes with the edge of her apron．
"What's wrong，Mamá．"
"Nothing，"she replied．"I probably got some dust in my eyes．That's all．"

7．ESP，Extra Sensory Perception，is a catch-all expression for the so-called ability of certain people to receive transmitted thoughts from others，to transmit their own thoughts，to see what will happen in the future or to be able to move objects from one place to another without physically touching them．These special people are called psychics．Some believe that we all have this ability to some degree but that most of us choose not to develop it．
Many people are skeptical about ESP．Alongside the existence of documented evidence，there are plenty of claims that have turned out to be cheating．For most people，it is difficult to accept such claims without having had first hand experience．The lack of scientific evidence is another factor to take into account．On the other hand，most of us have，at some time，experienced a seemingly unexplainable occurrence； hearing the telephone ring and knowing who will be on the other end of the line or cases of coincidence that seem to be too extreme to be accidental．
Over the years there have been numerous ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions．Joseph Banks Rhine，a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934called"Extra-Sensory Perception"in which he claimed to have enormous evidence of ESP．However，other scientists have been unable to copy his results since，which has resulted in the book losing much of its original credibility and fame．
The Ganzfield Experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments．So-called psychics had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a"sender"attempted to transmit messages．Later the psychics would compare the messages received to the original messages sent out．There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time，but the research failed to produce convincing results．
One of the strongest criticisms against ESP is that in order for it to exist，the fundamental laws of physics would necessarily have to be broken．
Human beings are attracted to the whole range of supernatural phenomena．ESP will always continue to fascinate．This becomes clear when we see how much of the media is dedicated to the topic：magazines，journals，web sites，television and radio programs．Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them．Who knows？One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain："The truth is out there!"

74．According to the 1st paragraph，a psychic can do the following EXCEPTB．
A．read what his parents are thinking about
B．transmit one friend's thought to another
C．predict what'll happen at tomorrow's meeting
D．change the position of a chair without touching it
75．The underlined word"skeptical"in the second paragraph can be replaced withB．
A．enthusiastic B．doubtful C．particular D．curious
76．What can be learned about the book"Extra-Sensory Perception"and"the Ganzfield Experiments"？A．
A．They both failed to prove the existence of ESP scientifically．
B．They were both the products of casually-designed research．
C．Others followed their examples and got the same consequences．
D．The writer and the experiment operators lost their fame eventually．
77．What does the passage mainly talk about？A．
A．Whether ESP exists．
B．How ESP works．
C．Who ESP attracts．
D．Why ESP fails．
