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. |
| D．People have a sixth sense in all places. |

New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.
However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
What does the expression“at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
| A．According to their own timetable. |
| B．Without their teachers’ help. |
| C．Because of their wonderful goals. |
| D．Against their parents’ hope. |
From the passage we can learn that____.
| A．students with iPads have less discussion in class |
| B．students get more fun from learning with iPads |
| C．iPads help students save time waiting for buses |
| D．iPads prevent students from cheating in exams |
The writer probably agrees that____.
| A．teachers can take control of students’ learning |
| B．exam results depend a lot on now technology |
| C．technology in education has a bright future |
| D．note-taking is as helpful as video-watching |
