二、七选五
I can’t remember how many times I’ve been asked，“ 9 ?” My answer would always be the same：I’d want the ability to know what people are thinking. Absolutely，flying and invisibility(隐身)had crossed my mind. But in the end I’d always settle on reading people’s minds.
In a group of friends，I’m usually the quiet one—the one who observes everyone else interacting and voices my opinion only occasionally. 10 . Whether we admit it or not，we always keep some thoughts to ourselves. It’s human nature，after all.
Yet our tendency to hide certain feelings and unintentionally(无意地)judge others keeps me on edge. It’s what makes me want to know what people are thinking. I’m constantly worrying over what people think of me. Do I look bad? Did I do something wrong?
11 . I overthink people’s reactions，movements and even words. I overthink past conversations I had，wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine(真诚的).
Ultimately，though，I’ve come to realize that it shouldn’t really matter what other people think. 12 ，it would be an overwhelmingly(压倒性地)exhausting ability to have.

B.If you could have a superpower，what would it be
C.What you need to do is focus on what you can control，and leave other people’s thoughts to their own

E.As a curious person，I am always wondering what is going on in someone’s head

G. Seeing how people communicate with each other makes me wonder what is really going on in their heads
