6.On January 31,1978,three young boys were skating on the ice-covered playing field of the Montvale Memorial Elementary School in Montvale,New Jersey.Eddie Hargrove,his brother Michael,and their friend John Cummings watched as a flying object flew nearer.It was square with rounded corners and it had a yellow light at each corner and a light underneath.
    The three boys quickly realized that they were seeing something strange.They became frightened an d ran to the dugout(休息室) by the field.By then,the object had disappeared.Before they could discuss what had happened,they noticed what looked like a man in a yellow jogging suit across the road from the field.Michael thought it was a neighbor who often jogged in the evening.
"Mr.Johnson,"Michael called to the man,"did you see that UFO?"
    Immediately the man turned toward the boys,and Michael's tongue was frozen.Just then,ten other creatures,all in yellow jogging suits,joined him.Each one was bald(秃头) and had large,dark,square places where his eyes should have been; their skin was light yellow.
"Have you heard of Hitler's army?"John later said."You know how they walked kind of stiff(僵硬地),with their arms straight?Well,that's…how they looked."
Some of them were walking back and forth,while others headed down a nearby road.Finally they walked through the back wall of a building and disappeared completely.Now everything was normal again-almost.
    Could they have been joggers?Officer Pelsang of the Montvale Police Department said he had never seen more than two people jogging together in Montvale and never after dark.
    Three UFO investigators decided to study the case.The three men discovered that the Department of Public Works (DPW) was opposite the school's playing field and near where the boys first saw the yellow-suited aliens and that the DPW workers wore yellow uniforms in bad weather.However,Lewis Bradley of the DPW stated that all workers had gone home at 4:30 p.m.on the day in question and that none were wearing yellow uniforms that day.
    Did the boys see a UFO?Officer Pelsang said,"Twelve-year old boys don't call the police unless they're really upset about something."However,no matter what the investigators wanted to believe,they could not prove that anything had happened.As they wrote in their final report,"The story is interesting but,alas,the amount of value from a case of this kind…is doubtful."

C.an alien    
D.a DPW worker

5.Imagine living in a country torn by war.Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living.Your family decides to move-not to another town,but to another country.You and your family have become immigrants.People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.
People become immigrants for many reasons.The most common one is economic opportunities.Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs,farmland,or business opportunities.
Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters.They are refugees.Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest.Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views.Still others are uprooted by disasters,such as terrible flooding or drought.
Some people have become immigrants against their will.Captured in Africa,shipped foreign lands and forced to work as slaves,many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.
Except for Native Americans,all people came to the United States from someplace else.For nearly 500years,immigrants have landed on America's shores seeking a better life.Throughout American history,immigrants often worked low-paying,dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.
Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life.Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans.They also brought their own traditions,including music and foods.Over time,many of these traditions have become part of American life.
The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize new lands.By the mid-1500s,Spaniards had ventured into Florida,California,and the American Southwest.French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canada.The English also arrived in the early 1600s.They established 13colonies along America's AtlanticCoast.
In the 1700s,England became the major power in colonial North America.But many European immigrants came to live in the English colonies.They included people from Sweden,Holland,Germany,Scotland,and Ireland.
Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities.Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe.They come mainly from Central and South America,the Caribbean,and Asia.
Today,the U.S.government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year.People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants,who,if caught,would be sent back to their home countries.
Key PointsDetailed Information
(71)DefinitionImmigrants are those who move to a foreign country to make their homes.
Reasons•Most people come for (72)economic opportunities,such as good jobs,farmlands,or business opportunities.
•Some move to the US to (73)stay/keepaway from wars or disasters.
•Some people immigrate to(74)search/seekfor religious freedom.
•Some people have become immigrants (75)passively/unwillingly,like many early African immigrants.
History•French immigrants (76)reachedCanada in the early 1600s and built their first colony there.
•The English also came to the early 1600s and (77)established/founded thirteen colonies along America's Atlantic Coast.
•In the 1700s,European immigrants came to live in the English colonies,people from Sweden,Holland and etc.are (78)included.
Today•(79)Different from the past,the origins of most new immigrants are mainly Central and South America,the Caribbean,and Asia,instead of Europe
•The US government erects dams to (80)keepthe number of immigrants into the country each yearin check.Illegal immigrants,if caught,would be sent back to their home countries.
6.Life can be so wonderful,full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges,setbacks and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances(境况),we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires-that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things,up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension(矛盾) between what we feel we can have and what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的) suffering,the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us-the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you".
So,if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind-or the minds of those close to us-usually says we can't.That isn't a reason to stop,it's just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder,trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.
27.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we shouldC.
A.slow down and live a simple life
B.be careful when we choose to change
C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D.be satisfied with what we already have
28.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?B
A.To focus on every detail.
B.To decide and take immediate action.
C.To listen to those close to us.
D.To think twice before we act.
29.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?C
A.Escape from your punishment.
B.Realization of your dreams.
C.Freedom from your tension.
D.Reduction(减少) of your expectations.
30.What does the author intend to tell us?A
A.It's easier than we think to get what we want.
B.It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C.It's impractical to change our way of thinking.
D.It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.
