Jeanne Dixon Jeanne Dixon began making predictions when she was a little girl. She had a crystal ball that she used to look into the future. She correctly predicted several events, including the death of her grandfather. She also learned to use astrology. When she was just eight years old, a palm reader told her fortune. The palm reader said that Jeanne would become famous for her unique ability to predict the future. Dixon made many predictions about the future throughout her life, but the one that brought her the most fame was her prediction of the assassination of President Kennedy. In 1952, she had a vision. She saw a man with blue eyes living in the White House. He was going to die a violent death. Eight years later, John Kennedy, a man with blue eyes, became president of the United States. On November 22nd, 1963, Jeanne told her friends, Something terrible is going to happen today. Then, they heard an announcement. President Kennedy had been shot. Another of Dixons major predictions was the death of President Kennedys brother Robert. One day, she was walking through a hotel in Los Angeles. Suddenly, she stopped and said, Robert Kennedy is going to be killed here. Soon after that, in June 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot in that exact place. Dixon accurately predicted the deaths of several other celebrities. She also predicted other kinds of events, for example, a big earthquake in Alaska in 1964. She made a number of wrong predictions as well, but people dont seem to remember as many of these. Dixon didnt keep any fees she earned from making predictions. She donated all the money to a charity that supported educational and health projects for children. She was a vegetarian and often prepared healthy food for elderly people. She also liked to help animals and took care of many lost cats and dogs. Jeanne Dixon died in 1997, but she left behind several predictions which could still come true. One of them is that intelligent life will be discovered on another planet. 6. What is this passage mainly about? A. Using astrology B. A famous palm reader C. Assassinations of famous people D.
