Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble ― and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP.

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 doing washing. 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 illness. He 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 say that are ESP in true, from studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

1.ESP lets people know about _________.

A．their dream                           B．events after they happen

C．events before they happen                D．heart illness

2.The example of the man shows the ability to _______.

A．a(chǎn)void traffic accidents

B．know the good and bad of a person

C．know about the events happening some distance away

D．sense a danger that will happen later on

3.The best title of this passage is _________.

A．Sixth Sense                            B．The Human Mind

C．A Big Lie                              D．A Terrible Dream

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take measures now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.

　　1. Water

　　A person needs at least 1/2 gallon(加侖) of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.

　　2. Food

　　It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐爛的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.

　　3. Torch(手電筒) and spare batteries (電池)

　　Keep a torch beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(泄露).Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.

　　4. Clothes

　　If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.

1.Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?

   A. Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.

   B. Because earthquakes take place without warning.

   C. Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.

   D. Because it’s people’s daily work to prepare the earthquakes.

2.You should prepare all of the following except ______.

   A. powdered milk    B. fresh vegetables   C. dried fruits   D. canned juices

3.According to the article we know that ______.

   A. we need to prepare some supplies only at home

   B. a telephone is the most important prepared thing

   C. after earthquakes you’d better use torch first but not matches

   D. clothes are used to protect your head

4.If you live in a cold place, you should prepare _______.

    A. some warm clothes and bedding supplies       B. some hot water

C. some batteries                               D. some torches

When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to grandma’s generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday best.

But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶)-and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.

Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs—one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.

Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television.

Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it’s better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?

Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (禮節(jié)) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the table.”) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially.

1. Why do people tend to follow the trend to casual dining?

A. Family members need more time to relax.

B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.

C. People prefer to live a comfortable life.

D. Young people won’t follow the etiquette of the older generation.

2. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is ______.

A. a seller of stainless steel tableware                      B. a dealer in stoneware

C. a pottery chain store                                                 D. a producer of fine china

3. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is ______.

A. the increased value of the pound                           B. the worsening economy in Asia

C. the change in people’s way of life                 D. the fierce competition at home and abroad

4. Formal table manners, though less popular than before in current social life, ______.

A. are still a must on certain occasions            B. are certain to return sooner or later

C. are still being taught by parents at home          D. can help improve personal relationships

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end — with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by (滑過) outside the bus window. Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”?

      The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed — new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly careless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a horror story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting, but you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

     The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests — even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There just no more ways to sit.

1.The long bus rides and TV shows are alike, because         .

A. they both can offer people with thrilling stories                     

B. they both are boring

C. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between               

D. they both force people to sit for a long time

2.During the whole bus ride, what come to the passengers’ eyes most frequently?

A. Some salty food on the bus.    B. The programs on TV.

C. Advertisements on the road.    D. Trucks on the road.[來源:學(xué)_科_網(wǎng)Z_X_X_K]

3.In order to pass the middle hours of the ride, you can         .

A. read the billboards           B. have something to eat

C. watch TV shows             D. sleep

4.The purpose of the passage is to         .

A. show how much bus rides differ from TV shows              

B. teach us how to deal with each period of a long bus ride

C. persuade readers to take a long bus ride              

D. give the author’s opinion on long bus rides
