Many people have stories about seeing aliens (外星人). Here are two.

Judy Varns works for a group called the Mutual UFO Network. She thinks a place called Area 51, in Nevada in the US, may be the best place on Earth to see UFOs. One day, she took some photos there and saw something she thinks was a UFO. “We saw this little round thing in the photos. It's kind of exciting,” she says.

Pat Travis lives near Area 51. One night, she saw a beam of strange light (一束奇怪的光) in the sky. According to Travis, the light moved from left to right, up and down, and it made many strange moves. Travis thinks the light was from a UFO.

The US Air Force is at Area 51. Some people think it keeps secrets (秘密), like UFOs that came to Earth and the aliens inside them. But in fact, Area 51 is a place the US Air Force uses to test new technology (技术), such as new kinds of planes.

James McGaha is a pilot at Area 51. “There is no UFO activity at Area 51,” he says. “No aliens.”

So what did Varns and Travis see? Bill Fox works at Area 51, too. He thinks he knows the answer. “We did build some strange-looking planes,” he says. “I could see why some people would think they were UFOs.”

Have aliens visited us? You'll have to decide for yourself. But if you do visit Nevada, keep your eyes on the skies!

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation(捐赠)box in your neighborhood? If not.you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming popular in Changchun.

“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear.You know.we teenagers are growing fast.I think it's a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.

“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping.then I'll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

“That seems like a good idea.Some clothes in the box are quite new.People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases,” Mrs Wang, an old woman says. “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”

However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation.Recently, a CTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey.here are the results:

·The box is full of clothes in a short time.There is no more room for people to give away clothes.

·Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.

·Some communities set the box in unsuitable places.So there are few clothes in it.

·Many clothes are too old and shabby(破烂的)

“What's worse,” one of the staff in a community added “we quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by.We've tried to stop them several times but failed.It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”

In order to make the donation box work in an efficient way, our government is taking action, Clothes donation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.

Things can be very dangerous in a fire. Do you know how to deal with them?

If you cannot get out of your room, close the door and put blankets or quilt(被子) at the foot of the door. They can stop the smoke from coming in. Open the window and shout for help. Call 119 or wave a flashlight or a piece of clothing from the window. Let people know that you are still inside the building. You can’t stay under the bed or in the wardrobe. When the firefighters come in, they will need to find you. So stay by the window on the floor.

If your clothes catch fire, remember the words: stop, drop and roll(滚动)

Stop running. Moving around will make the fire even bigger. Drop to the ground. Lie down on the ground. Roll around. Roll from side to side to stop the fire.

If your friend’s clothes catch fire, don’t let him or her run. Shout, “Stop, drop and roll!”

Once they are down and rolling, you can use a blanket, towel, or other heavy cloth to help put out the fire on their clothes.
