  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 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.

1.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

2.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

3.The underlined word outcome in the last paragraph most probably means________.

[  ]

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

4.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 purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.  It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,  keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims.  The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all.  Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires.  For example,  instead of beginning with “I save your   10   in today’s paper”, you might say “I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it”.

Try to   13   generalities.  Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   14  . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no   15   has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is   16  .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   17   a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.  An excellent   18   is to enclose(内附) a stamped,  self-addressed envelope with your letter.  That makes it   19   for a possible employer to get in   20   with you.

1.  A. clearly                          B. carefully
