【正文】 nager was spending the night with a friend. Mr. Foster, who was working that night, was surprised that his son did not tell anyone that he was staying out late. When Justin did not show up at the family lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police. However, police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11 . That evening at 8 , Justin left home to play baseball with two friends, who both say Justin walking towards his home at .Justin’s sister, Kelly, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 . ‘I was getting ready for bed,’ she said ‘Justin went straight to his room. . I didn’t see him but I heard him put on his favourite CD. That’s when the lights came.’According to Kelly, a bright light then appeared outside her window. At first, the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon but then she realized that it was moving and ing closer. ‘I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had multicoloured lights all around it and there many windows. Standing inside were lots of whiteskinned, strangelooking creatures with large black eyes. ‘I was frightened.’ Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother’s bedroom. ‘I heard Justin since. I’m sure the aliens took him, but my parents said I was only dreaming.’Some people in Dover also say that they have seen aliens. ‘It happened to me!’ said Mavis wood. ‘The aliens took me away so that they could do research on me. Luckily, they returned me to my home. I think Justin was taken away by them too. They are interested in us. I still have nightmares about them. K hasn’t been sleeping well since I returned home. The whole experience was very frightening I even get frightened when I hear a plane fly over.’Police have not ruled out the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, but are also looking into other possibilities. ‘Sometimes people make up such amazing stories,’ says Detective same Peterson, who has taken charge of the case. ‘So we’ve been looking at other possibilities too, such as murder. We will not give up until we find convincing evidence.’M2U1 Project: Yeti, Bigfoot and the Wild Man of ShennongjiaFor centuries, people have reported seeing a wild creature in the Himalayas called Yeti. The Yeti is said to be a large, hairy animal that walks on two feet like a human being. People blieve that Yetis sometimes e down from the moutains to attack villagers.In 1998, an American mountain climber said that he saw a Yeti on the Chinese side of the Himalayas. ‘It walked like a human, but it had thick black fur and was about six feet tall with huge shoulders, very long arms and large hands,39。據(jù)說(shuō)，雪人是種高大多毛，像人類一樣用兩腳行走的動(dòng)物。 1998年，一名美國(guó)登山愛(ài)好者聲稱，他在喜馬拉雅山的中國(guó)一側(cè)看見(jiàn)過(guò)一個(gè)雪人。”他說(shuō)。他們復(fù)制了這些腳印，并讓美國(guó)的一位科學(xué)家進(jìn)行研究。有人認(rèn)為北美野人生活在美國(guó)西北部的森林里。已有很多關(guān)于人們?cè)谥袊?guó)湖北省西部的神農(nóng)架自然保護(hù)區(qū)看到過(guò)一個(gè)野人的報(bào)道。人們也發(fā)現(xiàn)過(guò)一些巨大腳印，有人稱它們屬于野人。華盛頓州立大學(xué)的一名科學(xué)家格洛夫?克蘭茨博士曾研究有關(guān)這類奇怪生物的報(bào)道多年。他認(rèn)為，這些生物與一個(gè)共同的祖先相關(guān)聯(lián)，該動(dòng)物生活于約30萬(wàn)年前的亞洲?？茖W(xué)家們希望野人之謎將來(lái)有一天會(huì)得以破解。M2U2 reading An adventure in Africa 30 JuneDear Aihua How are you? Sorry I haven’t written for so long. I’ve been quite busy arranging my holiday with my older brother, Colin. Colin and I plan to spend a few weeks traveling before he goes to university. We’re going to visit so many exciting places and do lots of extraordinary things. We will go to Africa first. I can’t wait! Have you ever been there?We leave London on 15 July, and we’ll be taking a flight to Morocco, in northern Africa. We’re going to ride camels through the Sahara Desert. It’s the biggest desert in the world—about the size of the US! I expect it will be very hot, dry and dusty there. We’ll be travelling by camel with local guides, camping in tents and sleeping on the ground. I’ve heard that, in the Sahara, there is no shade during the day, and the stars seem especially brilliant on clear nights. I’ll bring a flashlight with me so that I’ll be able to see in the dark. Altogether, the trip will take six days. That means I’ll have to sit on a camel for almost a week—how unfortable! I hope my camel likes me!After the trip by camel, we’re going to travel down the River Nile. We’ll start at Lake Victoria. A little way down the river from Lake Victoria, the water gets quite rough. So, we’ll go whitewater rafting. It’s quite dangerous, but very exciting! You have to wear a helmet and a life jacket for protection, just in case you fall into the water.Then, we’re going on a trip to see wild animals in Kenya. We’ll live with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink whatever they do, including cow’s blood! Do you think I should drink it?Since we’ll be walking for almost two weeks, I’ll need to buy a large backpack in advance to carry my supplies of food and water. During the day, we’ll walk across the land, following the tracks of wildlife such as elephants, lions and giraffes. We’ll try to get as close as possible to the animals, even though they’re dangerous, so that we can take some really good photographs. But don’t worry about me. Our guides will have guns with them for defense—they can use the guns to scare the animals away if they e too near. I really want to see an elephant up close, and Colin wants to see a giraffe.After that, we’ll be moving on to Tanzania, where we’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Mountain climbing can be very tiring, and many people feel sick as the atmosphere gets thinner, so Colin and I will make sure that we will get plenty of rest. The African part of our trip will take about four weeks. Afterwards, we’re going to the Himalayas. I’ll send you postcards from all the different places we visit!Love Toby 非洲探險(xiǎn) 6月30日親愛(ài)的愛(ài)華，你好。我最近一直在忙著安排和我哥哥科林度假的事。我們要去很多令人激動(dòng)的地方，做很多令人驚嘆的事情。我都等不及了！你去過(guò)那里嗎？ 我們將于7月15日離開(kāi)倫敦，坐飛機(jī)去北非的摩洛哥。這是世界上最大的沙漠—大約相當(dāng)于美國(guó)的面積！我估計(jì)那里會(huì)非常炎熱、干燥，而且塵土飛揚(yáng)。我聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)，在撒哈拉，白天沒(méi)有陰涼之處，在晴朗的夜晚星星格外燦爛。旅行全程將花六天時(shí)
