ome people are happy to believe in ESP (
超感官知觉
) while others are firm disbelievers.
Parapsychologists (
灵学专家
), who lend a certain seriousness to the subject, have 41
__ four types of ESP: One type called clairvoyance describes the act of being able to
obtain knowledge of a person or event without the use of the normal senses; Another type,
telepathy, is the 42 _ by which a person is able to read another person’s thoughts
without the use of any of the normal senses; Still another type, psychogenesis, is the ability to
43 a physical object just by thinking about it; The last type, precognition, is the term applied
when somebody is able to foresee 44 events.
Over the years there have been many ESP experiments ____45___by serious scientists in
serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book
in 1934 called " Extra-Sensory Perception" in which he claimed to have overwhelming
（压倒的）
evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to repeat his results exactly in the
same way, which has resulted in the book 46 much of its original reliability.
The Granzfield experiments are considered to have been the most 47 examined
ESP experiments. The experimenters had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a "sender"
attempted to transmit messages. Later the experimenters would compare the messages received
to the 48 messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the
time but the research failed to produce 49 results.
Human beings are 50 to the supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue
to fascinate human beings. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled
interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look
for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who
knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain, “The truth is out
there!"

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with
a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place.
Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache
in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain
was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phonebook, but no one could see me
immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.

I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the
dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why
wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and
I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand
over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant
said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could
enjoy it, on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to
understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief！
