Parapsychologists （ 灵 学 家 ） say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.To research whether there is such a "sixth sense" ，Robert Baker （心理学家） at the University of Kentucky，did two experiments. In the first one，Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes.The subjects （ 受 试 者 ） were eating ， reading studying ，watching TV ，when he asked the subjects ，almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment，Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two way mirror in a laboratory.The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't.Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't. Baker finds out that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at.If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments ， said Baker ， "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves." （1）What's the purpose of the two experiments？ 　 　 A.To explain when people can have a sixth sense. B.To study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.
