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（超感官知覺）.

ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events（事件）before they happen, or events that are happening some distance（距離）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（心理的）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 dreams

B. events after they happen

C. events before they happen

D. heart illness

2.In his passage the word “coincidences” means ________.

A. things which do not happen

Is it fair for restaurants to ban little eaters? In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.

YES

There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers.

----Kate Barker

Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s.

------Mike Vuick

Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise.

------Dale Levitsky

NO

Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there.

--------Nicholas Song

Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too.

-------Elliott Hall

1.The restaurant in Monronroeville refuses ___________ to eat there.

A. women

B. kids are too noisy

C. they dislike doing the dishes

D. restaurant food is more delicious

3.Who thinks it is wrong to ban kids?

A. Mike Vuick

B. Kate Barker

C. Nicholas Song

D. Alice Roseman

4.Which of the following opinion is mentioned in the passage?

A. Not all kids have bad behaviors.

B. Children waste too much food.

C. Boys make more noise than girls.

D. Restaurants needn’t help parents.

17．"Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless．When my friend Maxie says"Have a nice day"with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me．I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well．
"Have a nice day．Next!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door．The words come out in the same tone （腔調(diào)） with a fixed procedure．They are spoken at me，not to me．Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business．
    The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other．Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting．As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end．Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say"oh，you may have a tooth out？I'm terribly sorry，but have a nice day．"

    Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting．The salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day．But in a strange and comfortable way，it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much．While the expression may not often be sincere，it is always spoken．The point is that people say it all the time when they like．
