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!
![]()

Knowing about yourself means not only that you find what you are good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you are not good at and what you don't like. Both help you to see your aim in life.
Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed an advanced math course, they have actually learned a great deal about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists, and that they should not be good at accounting work. So failing can help a student to lead a much happier life if he or she draws the right conclusion from the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would like to do.
It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you have any interest or ability.
It's not enough to want to be a great violinist. You also have to like the hard and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great violinist but hate the work, forget it.
It's a good plan to try as many as possible when you are still young. And then you will come to a wise decision.
1.If you say you really know yourself, ________.
[ ]
A.you know what you are good at
B.you have got the whole picture of yourself

A.if you have aim in life and get the job you wish to have

Most Americans don't like to get advice from members of their family. They get advice from “strangers”. When they need advice, they don't usually ask people they know. Instead many of them write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many different subjects including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and even on how to buy a house or a car.
Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters there are answers written by people who are supposed to know how to solve such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work.
One of them answers letters written to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.
There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Gavaliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in a column called DEAR ANGEL in the Philadelphia Bulletin.

Scientists think that a game like bowing was played in Egypt thousands of years ago.
Toys that look like a ball and bowling pins were found buried with a child who died around 5200 B. C.
People who study history know that the game was popular in Germany around 200~300 A. D. It was played by people in some churches in order to show that they were good Christians. When people bowled poorly, they had to go to church more often.
The first bowling place built inside a building opened in England in 1455. Then the game was taken to the United States where most people played it outside.
During the 1800s, many people in the United States began to bowl for money, so several cities made the game illegal. Many people kept on bowling illegally. A group named the American Bowling Congress (ABC) began around 1900. The job of this group was to clean up bowling and make it a gentlemen's game again.
At this time, the game was mostly played by men. If women played, they hung a curtain up so that the men were not able to see them.
Then, in 1916, a woman's group named the Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC) made a point of showing that the game was fine for both men and women.
1.In which country did poor bowlers have to go to church more often?
[ ]
2.In the United States during the 1800s, ________.
[ ]
A.many people bowled for money
B.women never bowled
C.people discovered bowling
D.a(chǎn)ll of the above
3.Who was probably in the American Bowling Congress?
[ ]
A.People who bet money on bowling.
B.People who liked bowling.
C.People who bowled in church.
D.All of the above.
4.When did the Women's International Bowling Congress begin?
[ ]
5.Before 1916, what did women probably do when they bowled?

People like to say, “The hand rocks the cradle rules the world.” Or they say, “Behind every successful man, there is a woman.”
Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want more pay. They want to be as successful as men.
Today the best jobs are still given to men. Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men. Some women want these things changed. They want to stand beside the men, with the same chances for success.
Now many American women are earning money outside their homes. More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have got jobs. In general, working women have had more education than those who stay at home.
Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work; and most of them often spend their holidays away from home. They like traveling by air. Women's work has made several changes in women's lives and in men's lives, too.
But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries. In the Middle East countries, women have to stay at home. Their duty is to look after their families and do all the housework. They can't find work outside. When they go out in public, they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands.
For the past few years the women's life has been changing in those countries. Many women want to play an active role in the society, though working gives them fewer chances of getting married. Many men still want to marry them in the old ways.
