    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.”

    68. 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

    69. 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

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

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

    71. 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.

    A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office at Millwood High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

    The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher, not his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr. Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap. He was texting while being scolded for texting!

    "It was a subconscious act," said Mr. Gallagher, who took the phone away. "Yong people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night. It's addictive. They can’t simply stop doing that."

    Because so many people in their teens and early 20s are in this constant whir of socializing -- accessible to each other every minute of the day via cellphone, instant messaging and social-networking Web sites -- there are a host of new questions that need to be addressed in schools, in the workplace and at home. Chief among them: How much work can "hyper-socializing" students or employees really accomplish if they are holding multiple conversations with friends via text-messaging, or are obsessively checking Facebook? Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a non-profit group that monitors media's impact on families.

    Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers come to see texting and "social-network checking" as accepted parts of the workday?

    "In past generations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are adept at texting with their phones still in their pockets," said 40-year-old Mr. Gallagher, "and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fundamentally different today. They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."

    When the boy was scolded for texting, _________________.

           A. he was polite and regretful

           B. he was trying sending another message

           C. his fingers shouldn’t be put on his lap

           D. he listened carefully and nodded

    What does the underlined word “subconscious” mean?

           A. dangerous               B. purposeless                    C. popular                    D. impolite

    What can we learn about the students in their teens and early 20s?

           A. All of them are addicted to using cellphones.

           B. They will get rid of the habit once they go to work.

           C. They are greatly different from the past generations.

           D. Most of them check Facebook more than 10 times a day.

    What can we infer from the passage?

           A. The employers will accept texting at workday.

           B. The students will give up their phones one day.

           C. It’s convenient for students to communicate with others with cellphones.

    D. Facebook is a kind of book students need to read at school.

      When scientists set out to explore the roots of human laughter, some apes（类人猿） were just tickled（胳肢）to help. That’s how researchers made a variety of apes and some human babies laugh. After analyzing the sounds, they concluded that people and great apes inherited laughter from a shared ancestor that lived more than 10 million years ago. Experts praised the work, it gives strong evidence that ape laughter and human laughter are related through evolution（进化）.

    Scientists have noted that apes make characteristic sounds during play or while being tickled, especially to signal that they’re interested in playing. It’s been suggested before that human laughter grew out of primate（灵长类动物） roots. But ape laughter doesn’t sound like human laughter. It may be slower noisy breathing. So what does that have to do with the human ha-ha? To investigate that, Marina Davila Ross and her colleagues carried out a detailed analysis of the sounds made by tickling three human babies and 21 other primates, apes included.

    After measuring 11 features in the sound from each species, they tried to find out how these sounds appeared to be related to each other. The result looked like a family tree. Significantly, that tree matched the way the species themselves are related, the scientists reported online in the journal Current Biology. They also concluded that while human laughter sounds much different from ape laughter, their typical features could have come from the same ancestor.

    Panksepp, who studies laughter-like responses in animals but didn’t participate in the new work, called the paper exciting. Panksepp’s own work concludes that even rats produce laughter in response to playing and tickling, with sounds that can hardly be heard by people. Robert Provine, a scientist, who wrote the book, Laughter: A Scientific Investigation, said the new paper showed some important clues, like ape sounds that hadn’t been realized before.

    69. Why did the scientists analyze the laughter made by tickling human babies and apes?

    A. To try to discover if they can make characteristic sounds.

    B. To see if they interested in playing.

    C. To find out if the laughter of apes and humans is related.

    D. To find out the differences between humans and apes.

    70. Based on Paragraph 3 we can know that researchers measured the features in the sound to ________.

    A. find out ape sounds that hadn’t been realized before

    B. find out relations among primates’ laughter

    C. see what a family tree from each species looks like

    D. make a report online in the journal Current Biology

    71. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

    A. Panksepp spoke highly of the new research.

    B. Rat laughter is likely to be related to ape laughter.

    C. Robert Provine provided some new clues for the researchers.

    D. Humans don’t enjoy listening to ape laughter.

    72. What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. Ape study explores evolution of laughter.

    B. Apes like to laugh when being tickled.

    C. Human laughter and ape laughter are different.

    D. Laughter: A Scientific Investigation.
