12.One night,Lottie Williams was walking alone through a park in Tulsa.Suddenly she saw a huge (41)B high up in the sky.She was surprised at that very moment.She thought she'd just (42)D a shooting star.Less than thirty minutes later,that surprise turned to (43)A.
"I was (44)C walking through the park when I felt a tap on my (45)B."Williams explained.As a result of being (46)A,she started to run,thinking a stranger had appeared out of (47)D.Then she heard something hit the ground behind her."The (48)C was similar to an empty glass jar,"Williams recalled."Then I (49)D and found it looked like a piece of fabric (织物),(50)A it sounded like metal."Williams felt (51)C that she was just fine.
Excited by her (52)B,she took the fallen piece of sky to her local library where she was advised to (53)Dthe National Weather Service,who told her about (54 )A that had entered the earth's atmosphere the night before.After ( 55)C what had happened,Williams took the piece to the University of Tulsa where Dr Winton Cornell (56)B it with an electron microscope.
"It had been partly (57)D when flying down at high speed.It appeared to be the kind of material used t0 (58)A fuel tanks,"Williams said.She then sent it to a research center,where they did further analysis (59)C the material to be part of the fuel tank of a US spacecraft,the (60)B 0f which is to make sure fuel tanks can not be damaged easily.Lottie Williams has become perhaps the only person in history to ever get hit by falling space rubbish.
