In the forest or in the fields you can often see small hills of earth and busy little ants. Ants live in different places. An ant has two strong jaws to dig soil, to cut up food, to carry about the eggs or the young.
The head of an ant is triangular with two large eyes and sometime three more very small eyes. These eyes have many parts, so the ant can see everything that moves around it. Some of these eyes see things near it, while others can see things far off in the distance.
The ant has six legs. Its feelers have twelve joins; with them the ant finds its way in underground home. Some ants do not build nests, but make use of hollows under stones or logs. Others build their little hill with leaves, bits of wood, sand and earth.
Ants have a good memory. When an ant, which has been away for a long time, returns to its nest, the others recognize it and show their greatest joy at its return. But if a stranger ant comes into their nest, the ants will have the stranger killed at once.

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．avoid 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 ________.

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(扑腾) 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.

[ ]

B．the bird's mother gave it the poisonous food.
C．the writer didn't know how to feed the bird at first.
D．his father' s friend didn't tell him the way of birds' life.
3．An ornithologist probably is a person who ________.
[ ]
4．From his past experience, the writer probably suggests that ________.
[ ]

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” he hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I'd love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it… then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”
