This should do it for you:

> x <- read.table(textConnection("A               B              C          D
+ 0.6566        2.1185        1.2320        5
+ 0.647         2.0865        1.2325        10
+ 0.6532        2.1060        1.2287        15
+ 0.6487        2.1290        1.2313        20
+ 0.6594        2.1285        1.2341        25
+ 0.6577        2.1070        1.2343        30
+ 0.6579        2.1345        1.2340        35
+ 0.6734        2.1705        1.2362        40
+ 0.675         2.1845        1.2372        45
+ 0.6592        2.1550        1.2340        50
+ 0.6647        2.1710        1.2305        55"), header=TRUE)
