Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV ， radio and films all help us to know what is going on in the world and what people are thinking about.

Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows that you say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.

Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed there are a lot of signs around you and you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, seas and many other things.

  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(心理学家)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 started 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．”

64．The purpose of the two experiments is to         ．

       A．prove why humans have a sixth sense

       B．explain when people can have a sixth sense

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

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

65．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

66．What can be learned from the passage?

       A．People are born with a sixth sense．

       B．People have a sixth sense in public places．

       C．The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea．  

       D．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments．
