Once a man was shipwrecked(遭遇海難)on a small, lonely island. There was no one living on this island, so he hoped that someone could come to save him. Every day he watched the sea, but no ships ever appeared.
He thought he should do something to save himself. He built a little house out of wood. But one day, he arrived home to find his little house on fire. The smoke rose to the sky. He cried,“God, how could you do this to me?”
Early the next day, however, a ship was coming to the island. It came to save him.
“How did you know I was here?”The man asked these people.“We saw your smoke signal(信號),”they answered.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because hope is at work in our lives. Remember, next time your little house is burning to the ground, it just may bring you better luck.

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(靈學家) 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 psycholog-ist(心理學家) 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 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 themselves 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.”
1.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.
2.What sense do parapsychologists say that humans have?
A. A natural ability B. A natural staring ability
C. A strange thinking D. A looking feeling
3.The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means?
A. Value B. Result
C. Performance D. Connection
4.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 aren’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.
5.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.

Many years ago, there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判斷) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.
When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds(花蕾) and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful, and it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said that the tree was bowed(彎) down with heavy fruits. It was full of life and fulfillment(收獲).
The man explained that all of his sons were right, but each of them had seen just one season of the tree. He told them that they couldn’t judge a tree or a person by only one season. "If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the hope of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fulfillment of your autumn." said the old man.

The world is divided into two important parts. One half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. In the poor part, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the rich part, many people eat too much. In one part, children are hungry and in the other, a lot of people are fatter and fatter and have to go on diets or do some exercise. For example, a dog or a cat in North America eats better than a child in the poorer countries.
