Chinese Premier(总理) Li Keqiang has visited the “left-behind” (留守) children whose parents are working in cities before Children’s Day.
During a visit to northwest China’s Shanxi Province, Li visited the home of Yang Saike, a primary school boy in a village of Xingping City.
Yang, whose parents were working in Fujian, thousands of kilometers away, was cared for by his grandparents. His parents fail to go home even once a year.
The premier held Yang in his arms and looked through his exercise book and praised him for his hard work.
Li talked with many children and asked them many questions about their schooling and life.
“You are so pretty,” Li said to Liu Mengqi, a seven-year-old girl living with her grandmother. Liu’s parents were also working in the city.
“Have you been to school yet?” Li asked two other girls.
“We are going to the pre-school class,” said one.
“Mom and dad at home?” Li asked. The children shook their heads.
“Children cannot see their parents very often, which is a new problem in the countryside. We should give them more care and love,” said the premier.
With fast economic (经济的) development, more people in the country chose to work in cities and left their children with grandparents or relatives back home, said Li.

Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turn 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 “ six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理学家） 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 in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found 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 are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”What’s the aim of the two experiments for?
| A．Prove why humans have a sixth sense. |
| B．Explain when people can have a sixth sense |
| C．Show how people act while being watched in the lab. |
| D．Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at. |
What does parapsychologists say that humans have to sense?
| A．a natural ability | B．a natural staring ability |
| C．a strange thinking | D．a looking feeling |
The underlined word” outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means______.
| A．value | B．result |
| C．performance | D．connection |
In the second experiment, the subjects .
| A．could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t. |
| B．couldn’t tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t |
| C．couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t. |
| D．could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t. |
What can we learn 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. |

An early form of a game in which a ball was kicked around a field is recorded in 1004 B.C. Japan. Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however. They say that early English warriors（武士） kicked around the head of a killed enemy. This may or may not be true, but it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport.
Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s. In fact, the king passed a law against playing it. The law said, "There is great noise ... caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear." Anyone caught playing soccer at that time was put into prison. Two hundred years later, Queen Elizabeth I still had people put into prison for playing this "vulgar" sport.
Although there were such laws, soccer grew more popular. In 1681 it became an official(正式的) sport in England. By the 1800s, people throughout the country played soccer. By the 18th century, upper-class boys played it at schools. Its popularity grew among all English people.
At a meeting held in an English school in 1843, the first rules were suggested. In 1863 the heads of English soccer teams met in London to agree on some official rules. They organized an English football association（协会）. By 1871 all of the English clubs were following these rules. Today all soccer teams play by them.
Soccer is called "football" everywhere but in the United States. The game is played mostly with feet. No players except the goalie (守门员 ) may touch the ball with their hands. They may control the ball with any part of the body except their hands.
Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport. Every four years, nearly every country in the world tlghts for the World Cup. Tens of billions of soccer fans from around the world watch the World Cup on television.According to the passage, a "vulgar" sport probably
