For most of the day construction worker Sidney Smith and his brother – in – law Joseph Chambers had been   21  along the banks of Lake Waco with little   22 . Chambers suggested they go home, but Smith 33  that there were still several hours of daylight 24  and there was one other place they might try a bit longer before  25 .

Smith drove his pickup(小货车)a couple of miles along the 26 road to get to the other side of the lake. This road, in the truest sense, was a path wagging in the heavy 27 area. Even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the 28 of trees formed a leafy 29 over the road and it suddenly seemed  30 in the evening.

“A guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said Chambers.

Smith smiled, “We’re 31 there.” He said. A few seconds later, the smile was  32  from his face.

“What the hell is that?”

  He braked to a stop. Less than twenty feet away was what appeared to be a  33 .

  For several minutes the two men sat in the pickup 34 to decide whether they had happened to 35 someone’s bad practical joke or something far more serious. Smith with his brother-in-law got out of the pickup and  36 walked towards that thing some distance before them.

It was a young man who was already dead. They had got to tell 37 . Back into the pickup, Smith backed the pickup down the road 38 he could turn around, then 39 back.

Hi! Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble — and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).

  ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.

  Here’s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The woman’s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

  There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages. Here’s another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.

A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and a carriage came by. The driver said, “There is room for one more.” The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, “There is room for one more.”

  Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!

  Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.

1.According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ________.

A.in existence        B.imaginative        C.not real           D.impossible

2.ESP lets people know _________.

A.about events before they happen

B.about events after they happen

C.about events that are happening some distance away

D.A and C

3.By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________.

A.learn how people tell lies

B.know more about human dreams

C.know more about human mind

D.learn how strange things happen

4.In the last paragraph the underlined word “coincidences” probably means _______.

A.things that may not happen

B.things that happen in a dream

C.things that must happen

D.things that happen by accident

Most, if not all, Chinese have become richer thanks to 28 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

  Various surveys attempt to answer this question. Though experts have presented varying percentages based on different standards, their answers tend to find we are generally happier, and the number of optimists rises each year. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences’ 2006 Blue Book on social progress says 70 per cent of rural and urban citizens surveyed in 2005 reported a feeling of happiness and were optimistic about their futures.

  But each survey shows a worrisome fact that 10 per cent, at the lowest, of citizens were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future. We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

  Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury(奢望)for many of our countrymen because of poverty, we agree wealth is not the only factor of happiness. For most of us, except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists, there simply are too many variables (可变物) that may kill the feeling of happiness. These include, but are not limited to, rising housing prices, tight and instable job market, back-breaking schooling expenses and medical bills.

The most common one, however, is a low sense of security (安全). Some experts pointed that in the low-and-middle income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment, income, housing, medical situations, and education. How can you feel happy when you always have to prepare yourself for the unexpected?

It may be beyond the government’s reach, not to mention duty, to guarantee (保证) higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

From the second paragraph we learn _____________________.

A. 70 % of Chinese people feel happy and optimistic about their future

B. the data and the conclusions of the surveys are the same

C. the surveys about the sense of happiness were carried out in 2006

D. the purpose of the surveys is to find out the percentage of rich people

The following factors of happiness are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _________.

A. security           B. environment             C. wealth            D. employment 

The underlined word “countrymen” in Paragraph 3 refers to ___________.

       A. people from the countryside                   B. people from cities

       C. people from all countries                       D. Chinese citizens

According to the passage, the author tends to hold the view that _________.

A. the wealthier we get, the happier we become

B. though we get wealthier, we do not feel happier

C. it is the government’s duty to raise every citizen’s income

D. the government should make sure all citizens feel a good level of security
