I walked quickly out of my church. It was late. My dad was waiting. I stared at the parking lot. Then I saw my dad’s little red Honda. “Get in! Get in! Why are you so late all the time?”
The ride home was not much more than five minutes but each minute moved slowly. We were stuck behind an old man. He wasn’t going more than 15 kilometers an hour. My dad started to shout, “Learn how to drive, Grandpa!” He hit the steering wheel(方向盘) with his hands. He was really angry.
“Dad, stop it. Why do you always…?” He cut me off, “I’d not get stuck at the light without this fellow!” The old man got to the light just as it was changing. “You’re free! Drive away quickly,” I thought. I looked over my dad. “Can y ou believe that, Steph? I get stuck at every light. There are so many stupid drivers out there, he said angrily.
Who gives him the right to shout at someone? Anger built inside me. “What if I shouted at my friends when they asked me for help?” I said. I looked out of the window, trying to catch my breath.
“You know, Steph, I think you are going to be a psychologist(心理学家),” he said.
I remembered the last time I tried to say something, he had fumed, “Don’t tell me how to drive! If I want your opinion, I’ll as k for it! Think about what you say before you talk.”
Usually, he’d be angry that I would doubt his authority (权威), but this time, he accept what I had said. A sense of pride rose up in me. It had been a short drive, but it had been the best car ride of my life.

C
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 tel ling 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 s ee for themselves.”
26. 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.
27. What sense does parapsychologists say that humans have ?
A. A natural ability
B. A natural staring ability
C. A strange thinking
D. A looking feeling
28. The underlined word” outcome” in the last paragraph m ost probably means?
A. Value
B. Result
C. Performance
D. Connection
29. 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.
30. 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.
第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
下面文章中有5处(第31-35)需添加小标题。请从A、B、C、D、E和F中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. What if you win.
B. Life won’t be the same without you.
C. Life isn’t no crystal stair.
D. There is a rainbow after every storm.
E. Focus on the future.
F. To give up is to live a meaningless life
The life has been full of challenges and difficulties. Life is not about the smartest person or the strongest person, or even the richest person. However, Life is about having
the mind in your heart “Never Give Up”, even when you feel that giving up is the only choice. The world is waiting on your gifts.
31._________
You are important to this world and believe it or not, someone is waiting for you to enrich their lives. You are too important to the world to just give up.
32._________
You may feel that life is challenging you from time to t ime and you can’t take it anymore. You may want to give up right now. But here is a thought, what will happen if you overcome the difficulties?
33._________
When an Olympic runner is in a race, he or she is focusing on one thing—the finishing line. You have to focus on the big picture—not just where you are right now. Focus in where you want to be. Make an agreement with your mind and your mouth.
34._________
One of my favorite poems is called “Crystal Stair ” written by Langston Hughes. In that poem, a mother tells her son that life is tough, you will meet rocks and hard places, but the end is victory to those who stand their ground and ride the course.
35._________
Whatever you are facing, you can make it through. There is a rainbow on the other side of your situation. Stay strong, stay focused and never give up.
