The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.

Murray had not been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one metre underground. In winter he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.

Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, and his two daughters were among them. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It had more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought your English dictionary was big!

"Do you also come for the parachute training?" someone asked.

"Yes!" the blind man answered in a loud voice.

"Ah-" the people cried in surprise.

"I know. Are you wondering how a blind man can parachute?" the blind man said cheerfully, "It's not difficult. I'll parachute like you.”

"But how do you know when to jump?" someone asked.

"Although I'm blind, I can hear! When the bell for the training rings. I'll carry my dog to follow you.” the blind man replied.

"Then how do you know when to open the parachute?" someone asked again.

"The coach says, counting to five from the moment I jump down. I can open it.” replied the blind man.

"But when you are about to fall to the ground, how do you know when to fall to the ground? It is the most dangerous moment."

"It's a simpler. When my dog is scared into crying and the rope in my hands becomes light, I'll prepare for falling to the ground.” They looked at each other, all silent.

At the end of the training, the coach told everybody, "In this training, Robert gets the highest score for his most standard and perfect action."

"Who is Robert?" they asked.

Parapsychologists (靈學(xué)家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.

In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受試者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.

For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.

Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”

【1】What’s the aim of the two experiments for?

A. Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B. Explain when people can have a sixth sense.

C. Show how people act while being watched in the lab.D. Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.

【2】The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.

A. valueB. resultC. performanceD. connection

【3】In the second experiment, the subjects _________.

A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t.

B. couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t.

C. couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t.

D. could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. People are born with a sixth sense.

B. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.

C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.

D. People have a sixth sense in all places.
