Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble -- and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.
ESP stands for Extra Sensory 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 is an example: A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman' s father had died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is 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 carriage came by. The driver said, "There' s room for one more." The man felt the driver was dead, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, "There's room for one more. "Then the man saw 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 lies or coincidences . Others, including some scientists say that ESP is true. From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

A. someone's trouble B. events before they happen
C. their dreams D. events after they happen

A. all people have ESP B. some women or men have ESP

When do you become an adult, a grown-up? At eighteen ? Twenty-one? Thirty ? Adulthood may seem a long way away to you, but the fact is that you are in the process of becoming an adult right now. The changes are so gradual that you may not notice them, but you can be sure that they' re happening.
When you were a child, a parent or an older relative probably bought your clothes and helped you clean up your room. Now you are likely to have a clothes allowance, to care for your bedroom, and to share other cleaning chores. You may once have had trouble getting your homework finished on time. By now, you may have learned to pace yourself. You know how much time you need. Do you remember begging your parents to stop for ice cream, or take an after-school job when you want money for a new clock radio? Of course, you don' t always budget your time and your money perfectly. Your room doesn' t always pass inspection. And you are often less than even tempered when something upsetting happens. But you' re learning.
As you get older, you have more privileges (特权) and more responsibilities. You may baby-sit for younger brothers and sisters, help cook dinner, and do odd jobs to contribute to the family income. You may get to stay up to watch a late movie on television, sit in on adult conversations, take subways and buses alone, or go on camping trips with your friends. Eventually, you will have a job and an apartment of
your own.
You' 11 become a voter and perhaps a husband or wife, maybe even a parent. But doing things adults do does not necessarily mean you will be wiser, braver, or more self-assured. It takes time to acquire knowledge and build self-confidence. Adults need to test themselves in the world, just as you do as a teen-ager. Being an adult is a continual process of growth.
59. The writer of this passage may be ______.
A. a teenager B. an old man C. a middle-aged man D. a thoughtful person
60. The best title for this passage may be ______.
A. Becoming An Adult B. It Is No Good Becoming An Adult
C. Becoming A Voter D. Adulthood Is A Long Way Away To You
61.According to the passage, the writer may probably think that_______.
A. nobody can be called an adult
B. becoming an adult is a long process of becoming learned and self-assured
C. adults are not self-confident
D. only adults can budget time and money perfectly
62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. You don't know you're growing up because changes are gradual.
B. You used to beg for toys when you were young.
C. Even if you are quite grown up, you still need to acquire knowledge.
D. People will never be wise, brave or self-assured.
C
I find it good to be alone the greater part of the time, to be in company, even with the best, is soon boring, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude.
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than we stay in our chambers, for solitude is not measured by the space that comes between a man and his fellows.
The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must recreate with others at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer is in his:
Society is commonly too cheap: we meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and try to give each other a new taste of that musty (发霉的)' old cheese as we are; we live thick and are in each other' s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have now agreed on a certain set of rules, called manners and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable; certainly less frequency would suffice (充足、足够 ) for all important and hearty communications between men.
It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live, for as the value of a man is not his skin, we need not touch him.
63. The writer of the passage considers "solitude"________.
A. boring B. lonely C. sound D. understandable
64. We know from the examples of the farmer and student that _______.
A. solitude is a necessary condition of work
B. man needs recreation after work
C. work satisfies man's need for solitude
D. people are not lonely when they are working
65. Living thick, the writer thinks, people will______.
A. acquire respect for society B. go around with others without respect
C. find new value in themselves D. increase the value of their friendship
66. It can be inferred that the value of a man can be _______.
A. found in external appearance B. discovered through skin contact
C. felt through frequent meeting D. discovered without physical contact
D
The man traveling in the back of the ambulance, which thrust its way through the streets of Baltimore that morning in 1967, had no business to be alive. By everything that was reasonable, and there were plenty of precedents( 先例 ), he certainly should have been dead. But he wasn' t. As the people in the hospital pointed out after they had examined him, he was only slightly bruised. Yet he had just fallen 150 feet down a hotel lift shaft( 空间 ) !
Unknown to the man, two things had occurred which were to affect his life that day. On the thirteenth floor of the hotel, somebody had carelessly left the lift gate open. Down in the basement, a pipe had burst and before anyone could check the rush of water, it had flooded the bottom of the lift to a depth of two feet.
Modern lifts have all sorts of fail-safe mechanisms to prevent accidents, but this was an ancient contraption( 新奇复杂的玩意儿 )L) unreliable, creaking, slow, hazardous ( 危险的 ), and suitable material for any scrap dealer who cared to take away.
The man had plenty of things to Occupy his mind that morning. He had overslept. The hotel had forgotten to call him and now he was late for an important business appointment. He dressed quickly, shaved hurriedly, grabbed his briefcase and hurried off down the hotel corridor.
Good! The lift gate was open. The lift must be there. He need not press the button and wait while the large, clumsy lift hauled its way upwards. Without looking or thinking, he stepped out into space. The lift cage was, in fact, one floor above him on the fourteenth. The world into which he had walked was a narrow space of not very fresh air, ending 150 feet below in two feet of dirty water.
The man descended, making his journey to the ground at a speed he had never dreamed of. Confused patterns, whirling shapes, a rush of air, time enough to be afraid, split-second thoughts of death, then crash !
Perhaps this gave him the record for some sorts of high-diving act. No doubt in future he always looked before he leapt. Certainly he learnt this was no way to save time. The experts said that those two feet of water had saved his life.
67. By "had no business to be alive" the writer means that the man______.
A. had missed his business appointment B. was only just alive
C. had done very little business D. was alive and this was very surprising
68. Which of the following did NOT help to cause the accident?
A. Someone left the lift door open. B. A pipe burst.
C. The man overslept. D. He was late for an appointment.
69. "The world into which he had walked" refers to ________.
