    Telepathy (心灵感应) is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses. It's an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we're using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons' unconscious minds link together into the same frequency (频率), we call it telepathy.

    We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone，you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you，you are most likely to be better at sending.

    You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver，but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings，try ‘feeling’ who is contacting you. Don't guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However，if neither of these works for you，that doesn't mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.

    Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other's unconscious mind.

    Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other's mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other's mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child's eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother's deep desire to protect her child from harm.

    1.Telepathy happens when one ________.

    A. has a similar dream with another person.

    B. is good at guessing

    C. wants to call his/her best friend

    D. doesn't know a stranger

    2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. The more people separate, the more likely that telepathy will occur in their life.

    B. Telepathy occurs when people make use of their five senses.

    C. Telepathy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another again.

    D. One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend’s call as one wishes.

    3.Which of the following belongs to telepathy?

    A. Your action in your dream.

    B. People's communication over the telephone.

    C. A mother's sense of her child being in danger.

    D. A couple's long separation.

    4.Which one can be the title of the passage?

    A. Receiving Telepathy B. Dream of telepathy

    C. Telepathy: People’s Dream D. Mind-to-Mind Contact

    Good manners are important, but you can easily make a social blunder when you visit a foreign country, because sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.

    Suppose you visit some friends in Mongolia and they ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp” after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like your food. But in some other countries, if you give a loud “burp”, you are supposed to say, “Excuse me, please.”

    In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.

    What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. When you are visiting a friend, he may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.

    If you visit a friend in Arabia you should walk behind other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of other tents, you will be asked into each one. The people will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.

    Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners help people show that they want to be friends.

    1. People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in______.

    A. Mongolia

    B. an East African town

    C. Polynesia

    D. Arabia

    2. In an East African town, people try not to see you. This is because______.

    A. they are not your friends

    B. they don’t want to talk with you

    C. it is good manners

    D. they are waiting for you to talk with them

    3.Which is true according to the passage?

    A. People show they are friendly in different manners.

    B. Good manners are the same in different countries.

    C. In the East African town the people who try not to see you are not polite at all.

    D. In Arabia it is polite to say no when people invite you to eat with them.

    Apple is to open a research lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, according to Tim Cook, its chief executive, as it seeks to boost sales in the country and improve ties with the authorities.

    Beijing has been encouraging foreign technology companies to carry out more high-end work on the mainland as part of efforts to revitalize local industry.

    It will be Apple’s second facility in China. It already has a new research and development facility in Beijing.

    The two R&D centers were “aimed at strengthening relationships with local partners and universities as we work to support talent development across the country”, Apple said in a statement.

    A closer relationship with the Chinese authorities has been a priority following setbacks for the US technology company this year.

    The iPhone has been losing market share to high-end handsets made by local competitors including Huawei, Vivo and Oppo, which topped the rankings in the second quarter, while Apple languished in fifth place, according to Canalys data.

    Analysts said the announcement of the R&D centre was Mr. Cook’s latest attempt to gain favour with Beijing, following the US group’s $1billion investment in Didi Chuxing, the Chinese car-hailing company, in May.

    Apple has had to change its approach in China as it faces rising nationalism and high-quality local competition, according to Ge Jia, a tech blogger, who wrote yesterday: “It’s time for Apple to cast aside their pride.” “Their previous strategy of only selling devices to China without leaving anything behind is not working any more and they are starting their process of localisation in China through the Shenzhen lab.”

    1.Apple is going to open a research lab in Shenzhen to _____________.

    A. promote Shenzhen’s economy

    B. promote its sales in China

    C. get help of Chinese experts

    D. join in local competition

    2.Which of the following is true?

    A. There is only one research facility in China.

    B. Apple has always been in good relationship with Chinese authorities.

    C. Huawei has ranked to No.1 in the second sales quarter.

    D. Apple is changing its strategy in order to boost sales.

    3.What caused Apple’s sales in China to fall?

    A. Its bad quality and high price.

    B. Nationalism and high-quality local competition.

    C. Out-of-date design and false advertisement.

    D. Chinese government’s ban on purchase.

    4.According to Ge Jia, what is Apple’s previous sales approach in China?

    A. taking part in high-quality local competition.

    B. choosing certain customers in China.

    C. only selling devices.

    D. selling devices as well as technology.
