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 werent. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt theoutcomeof his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”31 . whats the aim of the two experiments ？ATo study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.BTo explain when people can have a sixth senseCTo show how people act while being watched in the lab.DTo Prove why humans have a sixth sense.32 . what sense does parapsychologists say that humans have toAA looking feelingBA natural staring abilityCA strange thinkingDA natural ability33 .

What can we learn from the passageAPeople are born with a sixth sense.BThe experiments support parapsychologists idea.CThe subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.DPeople have a sixth sense in all places.“I cant find Jack,” Mary says，” Our class pet is lost.”“We will find him,” Paul says. “Jack is a green lizard(蜥蜴).

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead.When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdons high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quiteridiculous”.In spite of his teachers criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996，the first cloned mammal in the world.In 2006，Gurdons work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a persons skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patients heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind，”Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things dont work, but when they do, you have to seize the chance. ”根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。40 .
