You turned 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“sixth 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(盯着）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, almostall 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 were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that 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 theyre 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）The aim of the two experiments is to_.A . explain when people can have a sixth senseB . study how people act while being watched in the labC . study whether humans can sense when they are stared atD . prove why humans have a sixth sense（2）The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means_.A . valueB . resultC . performanceD . connection（3）In the second experiment, the subjects _.A . could tell when they were stared atB . could tell where they werent stared atC . couldnt tell who they were stared at or who they stared atD . couldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent（4）What can be learned from the passage?A . People are born with a sixth senseB . The experiments support parapsychologists idea.C . The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experimentsD . People have a sixth sense in all places.17. （10分）阅读理解（B）At the age of 16，Julia left school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money.
