The world we live in is full of things that can't be explained even by today's science. They are mysterious because no satisfactory① answers have been offered② to explain them. Though these mysteries have puzzled people for a long time, they still show great interest in them.The most famous one is the UFOs. UFO stands for③ Unidentified Flying Object. According to some witnesses, they are bright and move at a slow, steady speed with little noise. Yetis are famous too. The Yeti has been called the “missing link” — half-man, half-beast. It is supposed to④ live in the highest mountain in the world — Mount Qomolangma. Do you hear of the story of Crop Circles? Crop circles often appear in spring or summer when wheat, barley, rye⑤ or maize⑥ is growing in the fields. A crop circle is a large pattern created by the flattening⑦ crop. The first crop circle was discovered in England in 1647. They have been found in many places all over the world. Stonehenge is a monument of huge rock slabs⑧ in the southwest of England built in the Stone Age. It is believed that Stonehenge served some sort of religious purpose. Up to now nobody knows for sure⑨ how it came into being⑩.There are many other unexplained things in the world, such as the pyramids in Egypt and the Great Wall in China. We believe that as the science and technology develops, the people in the world will find the answers to explain the mysteries.[多积词汇]①satisfactory adj.满意的②offer v t. 提供③stand for 代表④be supposed to 应该⑤rye n. 黑麦⑥maize n. 玉米⑦flattening adj. 变平的⑧slab n. 石板⑨for sure 确信⑩come into being 形成Section Ⅰ Welcome to the unit & Reading — Pre-reading[原文呈现]Boy missing, police puzzled①Police in America have stepped up②their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing③ three days ago in Dover, New Hampshire④.This incident⑤ has received great interest due to⑥ reports of strange lights in the sky and of alien⑦ visits around the time⑧ the boy disappeared⑨.Justin Foster, a high school student○10,was last seen Friday night.
