Scientist discovers a sixth sense

原文
As we all know, there are five 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.

Many 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.
The 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.
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%.

Some 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.’

众所周知,人有五个感觉:听觉,嗅觉,视觉,味觉和触觉。然而现在,一名科学家证明了我们有个第六感觉:能得知某个人在看着自己的能力。

很多人都注意到了这种感觉。例如,你坐在电影院里,然后你感觉到有人在注视着你。你赶紧环顾四周,然后发现你感觉的没错。一位朋友,在电影院的后方,正在注视着你。
直到现在,没有人能以科学证明人类真的有这种能力。然而最近有个叫作Dr Rupert
Sheldrake的科学家公布了一些新的实验结果。这些实验是以这样的方式进行的。想像两个女孩,艾玛和克莱尔。艾玛坐在一张椅子上并被蒙上双眼,所以
她无法看见。克莱尔坐在艾玛身后几米。一位教师吹起哨子。接着根据随机方式,克莱尔或望向艾玛,或望向相反的方向。艾玛必须说出克莱尔是否在注视着自己。这项实验重复了20次。
Sheldrake与数百名儿童重复这个简单的实验。
结果像艾玛一样那个人戴着眼罩,,常常会觉得别人在看他或她。一般来说,60%的孩子们知道被监视。如果孩子们只是猜测“是”或“不是”,结果只会是50%。
一些科学家说,他们不同意,有第六感,他们说这是不可能用这种方法感觉到的,但Dr Sheldrake说结果是准确的,"这些实验是由不同的人在不同的国家进行。”他说,“但他们都显示了几乎相同的结果。”

众所周知,人有五感;听觉、嗅觉、视觉、味觉和触觉。而现在,有一位科学家揭示人有第六感---感知是否有人在看着我们的能力。
实在太多了,你去买本《怎样学好牛津英语》吧,里面有的。
