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.

During my second year of college I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.

To be  21 , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the  22  would be — a very low figure that  23  one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the  24  and decided to move in.

At the end of the term I had planned to find  25  living place, since the daughter was to  26  home. To my delight, they  27  that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their  28  —her people. I  29  accepted the offer.

As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be  30  to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I  31  that she was more independent than I first  32 .

We finally feel in love,  33 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more  34  than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go  35  largely because we knew that we are deeply  36  .

It isn’t about marriage …it’s about  37 . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as  38  as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be  39  —you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.”

Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is   40  to look after, and when someone is looking after us.
