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 (靈學家) 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 (心理學家) at the University of Kentucky, did 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（受試者）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 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 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.”
38. The aim 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
39. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. value B. result C. performance D. connection
40. In the second experiment, the subjects _________.
A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
B. could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t.
C. couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t.
D. couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t.
41. 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 all places.
D
Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大氣）, because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（氣象學家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.
42. Satellites travel _____________.
A. in space B. in the atmosphere C. above the ground D. above space
43. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because ________.
A. the weather satellites can do it easily B. clouds form in the atmosphere there
C. the weather forms in the atmosphere D. the pictures can forecast the weather
44. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.
A. when they have received satellite pictures
B. after comparing the pictures with earlier ones
C. before they received satellite pictures
D. while they study satellite pictures
45. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.
A. taking pictures of the atmosphere B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C. doing other work in many ways D. weather forecasting to the pictures
