Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Some parapsychologists (心理学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.To study whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, performed several experiments.
In the first one.Baker sat behind unsuspecting people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes.The subjects 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 suspects, almost all of them said they had no' idea that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment.Baker told subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way minor in a lab 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 than if they had just guessed.
Baker’s experiment concludes again that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at.If you doubt the outcome of his two experiments, I suggest you repeat the experiments and see for yourselves.
1.The first experiment made by Baker shows that ____.
A.people can’t realize it when they are watched secretly
B.one can't sense other people’s watching when they are talking
C.people have no idea about the sixth sense of human beings
D.the sixth sense doesn’t work during the first 5 or 15 minutes
2.The second experiment differs from the first one in that ____.
A.the subjects were not directly stared at from time to time
B.the subjects had to write something down in a lab sitting
C.the subjects were good at guessing when they were stared at
D.the subjects were informed of the purpose of the experiment
3.What is the author's attitude towards the result of the experiment? ____.
A.Support B.Doubt C.Sympathy D.Surprise
4.We can infer from the passage that ____.
A.it’s most probable that humans have six senses
B.the so-called sixth sense doesn’t exist in human beings
C.the experiments done by Baker hardly explain anything
D.people should make conclusions by themselves

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.”

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.

Have you ever gotten the feeling that a person you were friends with had a hidden schedule or simply couldn't care about your thoughts and opinions? Trying to tell the difference between someone who is genuine and someone who is faking (虚伪) it can be as confusing as trying to tell the difference between a work of art and a well-made copy.1. Read the advice of the following signs of fake people to determine which of your relationships is worth seriously investing in.
They only respect those in positions of power. When it comes to respect, most would agree that everyone is deserving of this sentiment. Yet, fake people have a tendency to only respect people in power. Watch out for people who aren't respectful of everyone around them.2.
3. Only those who lack real quality feel the need to criticize others to keep up appearances. Sincere individuals would rather admire and praise others, while fakers may be quick to put others down in name of making themselves look better.
They make promises they can't keep. A genuine person will do their best to live up to promises and commitments, but a fake person may talk the talk without walking the walk.4.
They're only nice if there's something in it for them.5. In comparison, genuine people are just that genuine. They're nice and helpful no matter what circumstances.
Keep an eye out for these signs of fake people and make room for more meaningful, genuine relationships in your life.
A.If not, they may be faking it.
B.They work hard to build any relationship.
C.They put others down in order to look good.
D.But thanks to some advice, the former doesn't have to be.
E.In comparison, a genuine person knows when to let others shine.
F.A fake person is one who only shows kindness when it benefits them.
G.Fake people easily make commitments, but rarely follow through on them.

高三英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Have you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.
They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don't talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.
Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.
The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If you've got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 am and you're on the 18th plane in line, you're going to be 40 minutes late.”
Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.
The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather is bad. This rule could cause even more delays.
The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.
1.FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by ________ between two regions.
A.different languages
B.technical misunderstanding
C.misunderstanding of the rules
D.lack of communication
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays?
A.A growing number of flights.
B.Bad weather.
C.A growing population.
D.Lack of new technology
3.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A.FAA is a national center which controls all the flight matters
B.FAA has taken control to solve airport delays
C.in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutes
D.safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays
4.Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage?
A.FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays.
B.Airport delays are on the rise.
C.Travel problems cost billions in lost work time.
D.FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide.
