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 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'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.
【小题1】According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is_________.

A.in existenceB.imaginativeC.not real D.impossible
【小题2】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
【小题3】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
【小题4】This article is mainly about_________.
A.the human dream B.the sixth sense
C.the human mind D.a crowded bus

You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another Earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-Born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese.
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas (海外) Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not the people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist  C.N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. The Chinese love him, but he is an American citizen.
【小题1】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.He wants to tell us something about “ABC”.
B.He wants to show that Chinese are well respected in America.
C.He wants to tell us some knowledge about the English language.
D.He wants to introduce the American culture to us.
【小题2】Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because ____.
A.their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
B.they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
C.they were born in China but go to study in America
D.they like to eat bananas
【小题3】 C.N. Yang is mentioned here to show that ____.
A. American Chinese are great.       B. we love American Chinese
C. The Chinese can win Nobel Prizes   D. American Chinese are not Chinese citizens
