【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
(心理學(xué)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 puter. 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 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 weren39。t. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren39。t. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the oute of his two experiments, said Baker, I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves(1)What39。s the aim of the two experiments for? A.Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B.Explain when people can have a sixth senseC.Show how people act while being watched in the labD.Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at(2)The underlined word oute in the last paragraph most probably means? A.ValueB.ResultC.PerformanceD.Connection(3)What is the writers opinion about the the sixth sense? A.He is not sure about itB.He is sure that it doesn39。t exist(存在)C.He wants us to find out together with himD.He agrees with the parapsychologists(4)What can we learn from the passage?
