Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble？Have you ever dreamed something that  36  later？Maybe you have ESP.

ESP stands   37  Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called   38  sixth sense. It seems to let people  39   about events before they happen, or events  40   are happening some  41  away.

There are thousands of stories on  42  . Scientists are studying  43  to find out what’s behind these  44   mental messages. Here’s an example, one of hundreds of  45   that have come true.

A man dreamed he was walking along a road  46  a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death,   47  he ran away. The next day, the  48   was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he  49  in the dream. He would not  50  the bus. As the bus drove off, it  51  crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was  52 ！

Some people say stories like this are lies or  53  . Others, including some scientists,  54  that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about  55  mind.

road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be   12  to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the   13 world.

support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could  15  do
the job of a policeman.
