1. ________

In 1973, Jimmy Carter, ex-president of the United States, saw a UFO—an Unidentified Flying Object. There were about 20 other people with him at the time, and they all watched the strange object for several minutes.

2. ________

Does this surprise you? It’s not unusual. About 15 million people all over the world think that they have seen a UFO, a recent report says.

3._______

UFOs have become very popular. There are books and films about UFOs, we can watch imaginary flying saucers and visitors from space on television, and there are stories in the newspapers about strange objects. Some of the stories are very silly. Clearly, some of these “UFOs” were aircraft, birds, the moon, lights on the clouds, and so on. But some people believe that spaceships come from other planets, and some of the reports aren’t easy to explain.

4. ______

In 1947 an American businessman was flying his own plane during the day. Mr. Arnold was a sensible man and a pilot with many years’ experience. That day, he saw a row of strange flying objects. He could see them clearly, and he watched them for some time. Later he said that they moved “like saucers over water.” The name “flying saucer” was invented. The newspapers loved the story, of course, and they all wrote long reports about it.

5. ______

During World War II, pilots had reported strange round flying objects. Sometimes these objects flew beside their planes and followed them. At first, the pilots were afraid: they thought these objects were a new weapon. But the “weapon” didn’t harm them. The officers said the pilots were imaging things. The pilots got used to the strange objects.

Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Los Angels brings neighbors benefits beyond beauty.
As the  36 of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Andy, now 54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to  37 plant more than two million trees throughout Southern California.
Tree People 38 tools, blueprints, planting demonstrations, and tree-care supervisors free to all the participants,  39 me. “You will need their support,” Andy said, referring to my neighbors. “ 40 
the community behind you, the trees you plant will die in five years.” So I started knocking on doors, hoping to share  41 I’d learnt in Tree People’s seminar(培训班) about the critical role of trees in removing smog from the  42 , cooling our homes and preventing water runoff.
Strange  43 it may seem, some people are afraid of trees. “The roots destroy sidewalks,” one neighbor said, “  44 will ruin my pipes. And I don’t want leaves.” 45  told me.
When I called Andy about the  46 I was getting from my neighbors, he encouraged me to keep trying. So my son and my wife delivered cookies while I went door to door. It  47 us half a year to sign permission forms from 16 neighbors for 21 trees.
When the big day arrived, I was excited and  48 . What if I threw a planting tree and  49 else came? But as I set out shovels(铁铲), my son and wife made cakes and doughnuts,  50 started to gather. Friends brought friends. Neighbors came with cousins and grandchildren. A local middle school even  51 with half the seventh grade. More than 300 people joined us.
Then Andy led us in a  52 : welcoming each tree into the world and  53 it name. After the ceremony, as I shook hands with volunteers and my neighbors, I  54 help but feel we’d accomplished  55 great. After all, trees need people, and people need trees.
