(C) On June 24, 1947, a US pilot named Kenneth Arnold looked out the window of his plane and saw nine silver objects flying close together. They were moving very quickly. Kenneth guessed that their speed was more than 1,600 kilometres an hour. He told journalists that the objects did not move like planes, but like saucers move when someone throws them across the surface of water. Later one of the journalists called the objects “flying saucers . This was the first time the expression “flying saucer was used, but people have seen UFOs (unidentified flying objects) in the sky centuries ago. For example, in the thirteenth century some English farmers saw a flat, silver object in the sky. This is surprising because in those days there were no planes, weather balloons, or space stations that could be mistaken for UFOs. Today, many UFOs turn out to be something quite ordinary. One evening in February 2001, eight colored lights appeared in the sky above Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The lights seemed to float in the air for ten minutes before moving off and disappearing. Many people thought they were UFOs. They turned out to be good luck lanterns that had been released from a temple. Most UFOs can be explained like this. However, there are many that can’t. Surveys show that at least half of us believe intelligent life exists on other planets. Is it possible, therefore, that someone from “out there is visiting us? 根据短文内容.回答下列问题. 36.Where was Kenneth Arnold when he saw the silver objects? 37.How many silver objects were there in the sky? 38.How did the objects move? 39.What were the colored lights in Kuala Lumpur? 40.将文中画线部分的句子翻译成汉语. 查看更多

Dear Jimmy,    
     Something terrible happened to me several days ago. When I wake up in the morning, I often take
a shower and then have a sandwich and a cup of coffee for breakfast before I go to class. But that
morning was different.     
     It was on June 24. The alarm clock didn't work, so I got up late. It was about time for me to go
to class. I had to do everything quickly. I didn't have enough time to do the things as usual.    
     I went straight to my school, but later I remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas (煤气) in the
kitchen. I asked my teacher for permission to go back to my house by taxi.     
     When I got home. I saw much smoke all around. I ran quickly to turn off the gas. If I came back a
bit late, nothing would be left.    
     I was really frightened. From then on, I woke up early to get everything ready before I went out
of my home. You should also check (检查) everything before you leave your house. Take care!
