senses: hearing, smell, sight, taste and touch. Now, however, a scientist has shown that we have a sixth sense: the ability to know when someone is watching us.123456789106-2123456Many people have noticed this feeling. For example, you are sitting in a cinema, and you feel that someone is watching you. You look around quickly, and find that you are right. A friend, at the back of the cinema, is staring at you.
Until now, no one has been able to prove scientifically that people really do have this ability. But recently a scientist called Dr Rupert Sheldrake has announced the results of some new experiments.789106-3123456The experiments work in this way. Imagine two girls, Emma and Claire. Emma sits on a chair and wears a blindfold over her eyes, so she cannot see. Claire sits a few metres behind Emma. A teacher blows a whistle. Then in random order, Claire either looks at Emma, or she looks in a different direction. Emma must say if Claire is looking at her or not. The experiment is repeated 20 times.789106-4123456Dr Sheldrake repeated this simple experiment with hundreds of children. The results were that the person who was wearing the blindfold, like Emma, could often feel that the other person was watching him or her. Generally, the children knew about 60% of the time they were being watched. If the children were just guessing ‘yes’ or ‘no’, the result would only be 50%.789106-5123456Some scientists say they do not agree that there is a sixth sense. They say it is impossible to feel something in this way. But Dr Sheldrake says that the results are accurate. ‘These experiments were carried out by different people in different countries,’ he said, ‘and yet they all showed almost the same results.’78910B Find these words in the magazine article on page 84. Read the words around them and choose the best meanings.6-61234561 prove

How does the teacher give a signal?
How often did the children know that someone was watching them?
Did Dr Sheldrake carry out all the experiments himself? A scientist has shown that we have a sixth sense.The teacher gave a signal by blowing a whistle.Generally, the children knew about 60% of the time they were being watched.No. Different people carried out the experiments.78910D Read the article again. Then decide whether the following statements are T (True) or F (False).6-9123456The sixth sense is the ability to know that you are watching someone. T / F
Dr Sheldrake is not the first scientist to show that people have a sixth sense. T / F
Dr Sheldrake repeated the experiment with thousands of children. T / F
The children who were being watched often felt that someone was watching them. T / F
All scientists agree with Dr Sheldrake’s ideas. T / F78910E Miss Li is giving instructions to Emma and Claire. The instructions are in the wrong order here. Write the numbers 1–6 to show the correct order.10-1012345664253178910After you read Do you believe in that people really have the sixth sense? Or can you give us some examples that you think the sixth sense really exists?
