新概念英语4 L4 Seeing hands
Several cases have been reported in Russia recently of people who can detect colours with their
fingers, and even see through solid and walls. One case concerns and eleven-year-old schoolgirl,
Vera Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with different parts of her
skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into
his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her
father why he kept so many old newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were
done up in bundles.
Vera's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of
Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a series of tests by a special
commission of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these tests she was
able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still, by moving her elbow over
a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colours printed on it; and, in
another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colours
of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a
similar sensitivity. During all these tests Vera was blindfold; and, indeed, except when blindfold
she lacked the ability to perceive things with her skin. It was also found that although she could
perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.
