PART I. READING (30 points)

Read the following text:

Not too long ago the attention of the world was focused on corn fields in Wiltshire andelsewhere, with the sudden and mysterious appearance of circle in the crops. The whole nation was

buzzing with talk of alien intervention. Evidence shows that they are a natural phenomenon.But Tony Dodd, director of investigations of the Yorkshire UFO Society maintains that this

does not explain away the UFO sightings made in Gloucester and Bristol, as well as in Wiltshire

when the circles appeared. “One of the most consistent reports was of the appearance of largeorange bulbs of light in the sky”, he says. “There were other reports of strange craft hovering over the fields”.

Sightings of UFOs are nothing new. In Britain, the first recorded alien sighting was in 1270in Bristol, and around 500 cases are reported each year. Sceptics say most can be explained asmisperceptions. But to those who believe they have seen a UFO, seeing is believing.
