Early this year, Captain Startup was flying an aeroplane over New Zealand．There was a television camera crew on board．Suddenly, out in the night sky, a bright sphere (球) came into view．Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought, “UFO”— Unidentified Flying Object．Many people believe that a UFO is a visiting craft from outer space．The camera crew went into ACTION AND STARTED FILMING．That week people all over the world saw the film of this mysterious light on their television screens．Someone described the object as “an illuminated ping pong ball.” What was it? Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The Captain and the film crew believed it was．Other observers had many different explanations．Some say it was Venus (金星)．Some say it was just a trick of light．The people on the aeroplane were not the only ones who saw the “UFO”．An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen．When a reporter asked him if he believed in UFOs, he said, “I don’ t know what they are but I’ve got an open mind on them．” Like many scientists, he thought that a flock of birds caused dots on his radar screen when the “UFO” appeared.
Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus．At that time of year it is very bright and easy to see．And from a moving aeroplane it can appear to be moving fast．So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist．In 6 years government investigators of UFOs investigated 1,631 sightings or occasions when people say they saw a UFO ．Ninety percent of these turned out to have simple explanation.
However, it’s good idea to keep an open mind, like the air traffic controller．Scientists in the USA are trying to persuade their government to help them study UFOs．They want two million dollars to spend on detecting radio messages from outer space．And a British politician wants governments to cooperate internationally on reporting and investigating sightings of UFOs.
After all, it is quite possible that there is life out there in the universe．And if something is alive, it is quite possible that it may come to visit US.
1．“I’ve got an open mind on them.” In the sentence, the phrase “got an open mind” means ________.
A．paid attention to
B．neither believed nor disbelieved
C．been troubled about something
D．been in agreement
2．Who saw that mysterious light one night? ________.

D．Visitors in a spaceship.
3．Who wants their government to help them to study UFOs?

4．It took the government investigators of UFOs ________ to investigate 1,631 sightings.
A．6 years
B．1 year
C．half a year
D．6 months
5．They want two million dollars to spend on detecting radio messages from outer space．In the sentence the word “detecting” means ________.
A．studying
B．studying for
C．looking
D．looking for
1. 我有一个开放的态度，即既不否认也不承认 2. 参见第四句话：Everyone on board saw it 3. 参见第三段第二句：Scientists in the USA are trying to persuade their government to help them study UFOs 4. 参见第二段中：In 6 years government investigators of UFOs investigated 1,631 sightings-or occasions when people say they saw a UFO. 5. detect探测，搜寻的意思
