【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 o have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She‘ll talk about my lack(缺失 ) of a bright future because I don‘t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don‘t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修 ) in English and munications, she nearly had a heart attack. ―Why can‘t you be like my coworker‘s son?‖ she bemoans all the time. Her coworker‘s son received a fouryear scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don‘t know what to answer except that I simply can‘t be like Mr. Perfect as I‘ve called the unnamed coworker‘s son. I can‘t be like him. I‘m the type of person who loves to help out in the munity, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名聲 ) or salary(薪水 ). I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I‘ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 . and usually es home around 5 . or even 6 . However, I want her to know that by being a doctor, it doesn‘t mean I‘ll be successful. I‘d rather follow my dreams and create my own future. ( )61. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? A. The writer‘s studies. B. The writer‘s future job C.

Parapsychologists (靈學(xué)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（存在） , Robert Baker, a psychologist (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 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 oute of his two experiments, said Baker, ―I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.‖ ( )66. The aim of the two experiments is to ________.
