    　　The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano De Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man-brave, polite, manly, and bright. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell. Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher（哲学家）made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world. Historically, man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his feelings. Expressions about the nose refer to human weakness, anger, pride, jealousy（嫉妒）and revenge（报复）. In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example,“to hold up one’s nose”expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose, lets his instinct guide him.

    　　For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase“to have one’s nose put out of joint”is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

    　　This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.

    Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感觉知觉).

    　　ESP stands for Extrasensory 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's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.

    　　There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's 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 seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."

    　　Then the man saw that 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 coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.

    66. According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ________.

    　　A. in existence        B. imaginative     C. not real    D. impossible

    67. ESP lets people know _________.

    　　A. about events before they happen

    　　B. about events after they happen

    　　C. about events that are happening some distance away

    　　D. A and C

    68. By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________.

    　　A. learn how people tell lies           B. know more about human dreams

    　　C. know more about human mind       D. learn how strange things happen

    69. In the last paragraph the underlined word "coincidences" probably means _______.

    　　A. things that may not happen          B. things that happen in a dream

    　　C. things that must happen             D. things that happen by accident

    70. This article is mainly about ________.[

    　　A. the human dream                           B. the sixth sense

    C. the human mind                          D. a crowded bus
