Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? 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 at the University of Kentucky, performed 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 a two-way mirror in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at than if they had just guessed.

Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”

67. The purpose of the two experiments is to ______.

A. explain when people can have a sixth sense

B. show how people act while being watched in the lab

C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at

D. prove why humans have a sixth sense

68. In the first experiment, the subjects ______.

A. were not told that they would be stared at

B. lost their sense when they were stared at

C. were not sure when they would be stared at

D. were uncomfortable when they were stared at

69. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means

A. value                B. result               C. performance                 D. connection

70. 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 public places.

The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are actually large estates. The best tea usually comes from plants grown on high grounds, the cool hilltops with rows and rows of tea plants. The plants

are about one metre apart. The plant is often pruned so that it remains only 60 to 90 centimetres high. Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves.

It is from these shoots that the best tea is got.

Practically all the tea pickers are women. The estates prefer to employ women pickers

because they are more careful. Their thin fingers can easily remove the twin leaves and new

shoots from the plant, which are the parts used for processing tea. The pickers carry large

baskets into which they throw their pickings. A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14

kilogrammes of tea leaves a day. Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about

every ten or fifteen days.
　 Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill .There

are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea required .For black tea ,the

young green leaves are first spread out o shelves to dry. This process removes much of its

water and the leaves become soft. After this ,the leaves are passed through heavy rollers .This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste .Then the

leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment under wet conditions. Fermentation

develops the rich taste of black tea .The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot air blower until they become rolled up black leaves .The final step is to sort and grade them before the

black tea is ready for sale to countries all over the world.

A．they work harder than men do in the picking

D．they can more easily find the twin leaves.
65．How many processing steps are mentioned in the last paragraph?

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.
    I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.
    I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.
    One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
    Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.
