We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone，you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you，you are most likely to be better at sending.
You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver，but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings，try ‘feeling’ who is contacting you. Don't guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However，if neither of these works for you，that doesn't mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other's unconscious mind.
Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other's mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other's mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child's eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother's deep desire to protect her child from harm.

【推荐1】Have you ever found that you were able to sleep better with an air conditioner or fan running or perhaps with the sound of rain falling outside? If so, then you’re already familiar with white noise.
White noise refers to a noise that has a mixture of all the audible (听得见的) frequencies that the human ear can detect. It is a combination of all the frequencies of sound played at once. It can cover the sounds of other noises because of its various frequencies, leading many people to experience its calming effects.
Studies have that listening to white noise positively found affects sleep. For example, people living in a high-noise area of New York City fell asleep faster and spent more of their time in bed asleep while listening to white noise. In another study, listening to white noise through headphones improved sleep quality for seriously ill patients in a loud hospital room. However, more research is needed to confirm whether the characteristics of white noise itself improve sleep or whether the sound primarily helps by covering background noise.
However, a recent analysis of multiple studies looking at white noise’s effect on sleep has produced mixed results. The researchers are doubtful about the quality of existing evidence and conclude that further research is necessary in order to widely recommend white noise as a sleep aid. They also note that in some instances, white noise can disturb a person’s sleep and may affect their hearing.
Despite that, researchers are still optimistic that the steady hum of white noise might reduce a sleeper’s sensitivity to unpredictable noises from the environment, such as transportation sounds like cars and planes, which are considered a major contributor to poor sleep.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
1. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?
| A．To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. |
| B．Intelligence is developed by the environment. |
| C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid. |

| A．close relation usually have similar intelligence |
| B．unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence |
| C．the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence |
| D．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence |
| A．purposely | B．frequently |
| C．aimlessly | D．independently |
| A．What Dose Intelligence Mean ? |

【推荐3】People who play games —such as cards and board games —are more likely to staymentally sharp in later life, a study suggests. Those who regularly played non-digital gamesscored better on memory and thinking tests in their 70s, the research found.
Psychologists at the University of Edinburgh tested more than 1,000 people aged 70 formemory, problem-solving, thinking speed and general thinking ability. The participants thenrepeated the same thinking tests every three years until aged 79. The group were also askedhow often they played games like cards, chess or crosswords —at ages 70 and 76. Researchers used statistical models to analyse the relationship between a person’s level ofgame playing and their thinking skills. The team took into account the results of anintelligence test that the participants sat when they were 11 years old. They also consideredlifestyle factors,such as education, socio-economic status and activity levels.
People who increased game playing in later years were found to have experienced lessdecline in thinking skills in their seventies —particularly in memory function and thinking speed. Researchers say the findings help to better understand what kinds of lifestyles and behaviors might be associated with better outcomes for cognitive(认知的)health in later life.
The study may also help people make decisions about how best to protect their thinkingskills as they age. Dr Drew, a psychologist in Edinburgh, said: “These latest findings add toevidence that being more engaged in activities during the life course might be associated with better thinking skills in later life. For those in their 70s or beyond, another message seems to bethat playing non-digital games may be a positive behavior in terms of reducing cognitivedecline.”
The connection between playing board games and other non-digital games later in lifeand sharper thinking and memory skills adds to what we know about steps we can take to protect our cognitive health, including not drinking extra alcohol, being active and eating ahealthy diet.
1. Which type of games does the research primarily focus on?| A．Non-digital games. | B．Outdoor games. |

| C．To give them a score to compare with others. |
| D．To ensure a comprehensive analysis in the study. |
| A．Spatial reasoning skills. | B．Social interaction skills. |
| C．Memory function and thinking speed. | D．Problem-solving and analysis ability. |
| A．Drinking extra alcohol. | B．Having a healthy diet. |

【推荐1】Color may influence the way food tastes for picky (挑剔的) eaters, according to a new study published in the journal Food Quality and Preference.
Stafford’s research team did an experiment with about 50 participants, who were mostly young adults around 20 years old. The study divided the individuals into picky and non-picky eaters, based on their responses to a certain measure. Both groups then tasted the same snacks served in red, white and blue bowls.
The results showed the color of the bowls influenced how the picky group perceived (感知) the saltiness and desirability of the foods — but did not influence the non-picky group. The picky group thought that the snack served in the red bowl was least desirable and the snack was higher in saltiness in the red and blue bowl — compared with the white bowl.
“Picky eating usually starts in childhood,” Dr. Lama Bazzi said. She explained that if picky eating is not solved properly as a child, it can be developed later into certain eating disorders.
All of this is because of a sense of control and a sense of safety. So when talking about the colors of the bowls in the research study, it probably has to do with what makes that person feel safe, such as what colors are connected with safety. The colors blue, green and purple are considered “safer” colors, while the color red is usually connected with “stop”.
Supermarkets use similar psychology to catch people’s attention. Children’s cups are colorfully designed to entice kids, giving them a sense of safety and making it fun for them to drink something. When advertisers want customers to buy chips or food, the packaging (包装) tends to use warm and inviting colors that remind people of their childhood. Stafford noted that the research is primary, yet the data may help picky eaters to eat various food.
1. What do we know about the experiment?| A．The participants were all young adults. |
| B．Different snacks were served in different colors of bowls. |
| C．Colors of the bowl didn’t influence the non-picky group. |

【推荐3】Very few people look forward to and enjoy exams. That doesn’t have to mean that you should be afraid of them, though. The following tips will help you get through that terrible exam period.
Here are eight steps to help you during exams:
1．Make sure you know how much time you will have in the exam and how many questions there will be. Then you can divide your time among the questions to make sure they all get answered.
2．When you’re doing an exam that involves long answers, it is a good idea to leave some space at the end of the answer so that you can add any extra comments that might come to mind when you reread your paper.
3．Don’t spend all of your time only on questions that you know answers to because you will get a worse mark for answering some questions very well and some not at all.
4．It is worth taking a little extra time to make sure that your handwriting is neat. The examiner will be able to read it！Try to avoid spelling mistakes too!
5．The more prepared you are，the more likely you are to succeed.
6．Keep calm. If you feel yourself getting worried, take a deep breath.
7．Don’t try to discuss the exam after you’ve finished it. If you’ve got different answers from your friends, there’s no point in worrying about it.
