Text A. FIVE SENSES A human being has a whole set of sense organs: organs of vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, pain, heat, cold, kinesthesia, vestibular sensitivity. First five organs are considered principal. Special sense organs are located inside the body. Brain receives signals from outside and inside, analyzes them and by means of reflex processes and ensures a coordinated functioning of the whole organism. Vision is one of the most delicate and complicated senses. It is known that a human being receives 90% of information through vision. About one-fourth of the brain is involved in visual processing, more than any other sense. We can see because of light. Without light there would be no sight. Light reflects of things and then travels to our eyes. The retina has millions of cells that are very sensitive to light. One knows that when an image is formed in the eye upside down. This image is sent to the brain, which receives the message and turns the picture right side up again. Hearing is considered the most important sense for humans. We can communicate with each other by receiving sounds and interpreting speech. The ear is made up of three parts. Sound travels through the ear in waves. They are received by the cup-shaped outer ear and directed into the middle ear where a thin membrane called eardrum is located. The vibrations hit the eardrum. Small hairs lining the cochlea also begin to vibrate and send a message to the auditory nerve which in its turn sends the message to the brain. Taste and smell are separate senses with their own receptor organs but they are closely entwined because these two senses act together. Tastes are detected by special structures – taste buds. It is known that every human has from 5, 000 to 10, 000 of them. Taste buds are located within papillae mainly on the tongue. It is estimated that each taste bud consists of about 100 receptors that respond to the four types of stimuli – sweet, salty, sour and bitter – from which all tastes are formed. A substance is tasted when chemicals in foods dissolve in saliva, enter the pores on the tongue and come into contact with taste buds. As a result signals are sent to cranial nerves and taste centres in the brain. Smell receptors are located in the mucus membrane lining the nose. One knows that each cell has several cilia which are stimulated by odour molecules in the air. The impulses from stimulated cells come to the brain’s frontal lobe where smell perception is formed. Touch is the sense by which we determine the characteristics of objects: size, shape, and texture. We do this through touch receptors in the skin.

Case Analyses Answer the questions. Do you think if the sixth sense exist? What is considered to be the sixth sense? What do you know about the sixth sense?
Read and translate the text. clairvoyance [klFq’voiqns] – ясновидение precognition – предвидение, экстрасенсорное восприятие presentiment [pri’zentimqnt] – предчувствие unconscious [An’kOnSqs] – бессознательный, невольный psi [sQi] – парапсихические явления inconsequential [in, kOnsi’kwenSql] – несущественный, не имеющий значения, маловажный causality [kL’zqeliti] – причинная связь
IS THERE THE SIXTH SENSE? Do you have a hunch or an intuition? Research psychologist Dean Radin, Ph.D., claims that hunches might actually foretell the future. The scientific evidence is now stronger than ever for such phenomena as telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition. Studies suggest that we have ways of getting information that bypass the ordinary senses. The sixth sense and similar terms, like second sight and extrasensory perception (ESP) refer to perceptual experiences that transcend the usual boundaries of space and time. In his experiments Dean Radin observed that many people responded unconsciously to something bad – even before it happened. He called this “presentiment”, an unconscious form of “psi” perception. “Psi” is a neutral form for psychic experiences. If scientists agree that the sixth sense exists, how might this change society? On the one hand it may change nothing; we may learn that genuine psi abilities are rare and only weakly predictive, and thus inconsequential for most practical purposes. On the other hand, it is possible that the study of the sixth sense will revolutionize our understanding of causality and have radically new applications.

Text A. I. P. PAVLOV Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was born on September 14, 1849 in Ryazan. When he was a very little boy he helped his father on his farm. His father taught him to read books. In 1870 Pavlov entered Petersburg University to study natural sciences. Soon he decided to become a physiologist himself. In 1890 he began to lecture on physiology in the Military Academy. Many of Pavlov’s ideas were new to the students and he was a very popular lecturer. His lectures were very simple and clear. He did not use notes since his memory was wonderful. He allowed students to interrupt him and answered their questions. Pavlov studied the work of the digestive system. He made many experiments on dogs. He had to make operations on dogs and as he loved animals he treated them with great kindness and they showed no fear of him. Pavlov never operated unless it was really necessary and he always used anaesthetics. He was a very skillful surgeon and the dogs generally recovered very quickly. Pavlov made great contribution to medical science. He was given a new laboratory near Petersburg. Large sums of money were spent on his laboratory. Though he was an old man of seventy-four he worked nine or ten hours a day. Pavlov died on February 27, 1936 at the age of eighty-six. A few years before his death he addressed the youth of the country: “The first important thing is to be systemic in your work … Never pass on to the next stage until you have finished the previous one. Never try to hide the defects in your knowledge. The second important thing is modesty. Never imagine that you know everything. The third thing that is necessary is enthusiasm. Remember that science demands of a man his whole life …” I. P. Pavlov devoted 35 years of his life to research of the physiology of the central nervous system. His work had a great influence on medicine, biology and philosophy. His work led to the establishment of psychology as a real science instead of speculation about the mind and emotions. For his study Pavlov received the Nobel Prize in 1904.
