　　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(超感官知能).

　　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 screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The woman' s father had died of a heart attack. 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 Deather, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. This 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 flames. Everyone was killed!

　　Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others, including some scientists say that ESP is true. Form studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.

1．ESP lets people know about ________.

[　　]

A．their dreams

B．events after they happen

C．events before they happen

D．heart attacks

2．According to the passage, the woman ________.

[　　]

A．dreamed that her father died

B．died of heart attack while sitting in a chair

C．felt her father died while she was washing

D．refused to get on the bus

3．The example of the man shows an ability to ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)void traffic accidents

B．judge the good and evil of a person

C．know about the events that are happening some distance away

D．sense a danger that will actually happen later on

4．The best title for this passage is ________.

[　　]

A．A Sixth Sense
B．The Human Mind
C．A Big Lie
D．A Terrible Dream

　　Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of twelve in South Carolina, something happened to me that made me never put any wild creature (living thing) in a cage.

　　We lived on the edge of a forest, and every evening at dusk the mocking birds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn't a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.

　　I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way I would have my own private musician.

　　I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, being scared, the bird fluttered(撲騰) about the cage, but finally it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my little musician.

　　On the second day of the bird's captivity. my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.

　　The following morning when I went to see how my captive(caged) bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was terribly surprised! What had happened! I had taken extremely care of my little bird, or so I thought.

　　Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, who happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had happened. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison-berries(毒莓). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”

　　Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
