Reading ComprehensionHave you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble ― and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感官知觉).ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here is an example: A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she shouted, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telephone came. The woman’s father had died of a heart attack. He had died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental messages. Here’s another example —— one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away. The next day, the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into fires. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that are ESP in real.From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.【小题1】ESP lets people know about _________.A．their dreamB．events after they happenC．events before they happenD．heart illness【小题2】The example of the man shows the ability to _______.A．avoid traffic accidentsB．know the good and bad of a personC．know about the events happening some distance awayD．sense a danger that will happen later on【小题3】The best title of this passage is _________.A．Sixth SenseB．The Human MindC．A Big LieD．A Terrible DreamHave you ever wondered how to get out of baby-sitting with your youngest brother or sister?
