He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit .

R ec o rde r C o l e W i n G a oUnit Four UFOsPart A Pre-listening Task (I)Listen to the facts and opinions about UFOs twice and fill in the blanks with the words you hear from the recording. Pay attention to the sentence structures that you might find useful in your discussions. Facts and OpinionsNotedsaucer n.碟子scripture n. 经文chariot n. 战车Stonehenge 英国Salisbury 平原上的史前巨石柱Atlantis 传说沉没于大西洋中的帝国abduct v. 绑架extraterrestrial a. 地球外的1. UFOs stand for Unidentified Flying Objects. Some people also call them flying saucers, because their shapes look like saucers.2. In its broader sense, the UFO includes any object or light, reportedly sighted in the sky, that cannot be immediately explained by the observer.3. I remember as a child, I would save every penny my mother gave me to buy the latest UFO magazines from the grocery store.4. We can not deny the existence of the UFO phenomenon simply because we have notseen it or can not explain it.5. Science has its limitations and many mysteries throughout the world have remained unsolved.6. Sightings of unusual aerial phenomena date back to ancient times.7. The early cave paintings and ancient scriptures seem to indicate that we may have had visitors from other worlds or planets in the past.8. In fact, ancient scriptures from many different cultures would give us the impression that we've had visitors from outer space.9. How do you explain ancient tales of chariots from the sky? And what are flying ships appearing in science fiction novels before the first plane was ever thought about?10. Even the Bible has been suggested as possible evidence of alien contact, for its numerous accounts of objects in the sky, and other strange events.11. What secrets lie with ancient Egypt, Stonehenge, or possibly even Atlantis? Have there indeed been more advanced civilizations of man that have somehow been lost?12. Some UFO enthusiasts even claim to have been abducted and taken aboard UFOs.R ec o rde r C o l e W i n G a o But so far, no one has produced scientifically acceptable proof of these claims.13. Some people believe that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, even though no scientifically valid evidence supports that belief. 14. Scientists speculate that intelligent life may well exist elsewhere in the universe.15. In addition to many reports and sightings of UFOs, observers have provided photographs or even videos.16. UFOs became widely discussed only after the first widely publicized U.S. sighting in 1947. Many thousands of such observations have since been reported worldwide.17. From 1947 to 1969 the U.S. Air Force investigated UFOs as a possible threat tonational security.18. A total of 12,618 reports were received, of which 701 or 5.6 percent were listed asunexplained.19. Since 1969 no agency of the U.S. government has had any active program of UFO investigation.20. In 1997 the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) admitted that the U.S. military had deceived the American public in an effort to hide information about high-altitude spy planes.21. At least 90 percent of UFO sightings can be identified as conventional objects, although time-consuming investigations are often necessary for such identification. 22. The objects most often mistaken for UFOs are bright planets and stars, aircraft, birds, balloons, kites, aerial flares, peculiar clouds, meteors, and satellites.Part A Pre-listening Task (II)Pair/ Group Work - Additional question for discussion1. It is reported that UFOs are alien spaceships from outer space. What do youthink?2. Do you believe in the existence of UFOs? Why or why not?3. Can science explain the UFO phenomenon? Give reasons.Sample1. It is reported that UFOs are alien spaceships from outer space. What do youthink?Since man first started looking up into the skies he saw things he couldn't explain. So the term "Unidentified Flying Object" has come into being and has become a synonym to most people for "Alien Spaceship." Usually the explanation is less extraordinary than a flying saucer manned by visitors from other worlds. Often a weather balloon or natural phenomenon is the cause. However, there are cases on record where no good common explanation was ever found. I think the day would come when this phenomenon will be explained in a scientific and convincing way.2. Do you believe in the existence of UFOs? Why or why not?Since UFOs can not be fully explained by scientists, it is indeed not fair for us common people to deny or believe in the existence of UFOs. Personally I don't believe the storyR ec o rde r C o l e W i n G a o that aliens have visited earth or they have been making strange formed shapes in crop fields. I ’ve also heard a lot of strange sightings of UFOs and alien spaceships being shot out of the sky. Recently some Mexican air pilots were reported to have spotted a fleet of spacecraft and they even took photos of them. But unfortunately , these photos are not clear enough to show that they are really flying saucers from outer space3. Can science explain the UFO phenomenon? Give reasons.So far as I know , science has not reached that stage where UFOs can be explained with satisfactory and convincing theory and with substantial evidence. Scientists around the world and even the U.S. Air Force spent considerable amount of time and money investigating the phenomenon, but so far they haven't produced any convincing reports that can explain or support the existence of UFOs. Surely there are lots of UFO photos and sightings, but most of them are either blurry or they are forged by some mischievous persons. However, I do believe that some day we will be able to explain this phenomenon just as we have explained the workings of cloning technology.Part BListening Task(A)NotesFranksville (地名)Wisconsin 威斯康星州emanate v. 散发，发出accelerate v. 加速frantic a. 狂乱的，疯狂的illuminate v. 照明，照亮fearsome a. 可怕的hover v. 盘旋diameter n. 直径in the wake of ... 紧跟在... ...的后面enigma n. 谜，不可思议的东西eerie a. 怪异的， 怪诞的aluminum n. 铝cone n. 锥形物protrude v. 突出underside n. 下面，底面ponder v. 沉思，考虑driveway n. 私人车道Referencel. Background InformationUFOs have been around a long time. One of the earliest accounts of a flyingR ec o rde r C o l e W i n G a o saucer sighting was recorded over 3,400 years ago in the annals of the Egyptian Pharaoh Thutmose III. In the papyrus documents is a description of a group of fiery circles that were seen in the sky over the pharaoh's army. If aliens have been visiting the earth for thousands of years, maybe at some point they had given us a helping hand.The modem age of UFO culture began on June 24, 1947 when pilot Kenneth Arnold witnessed a formation of silver disks skipping through the air over Mount Rainier. His report was widely circulated by the print and radio media, sparking interest in UFOs around the world. Just two weeks later, another event took place in New Mexico. That was the famous Roswell incident, in which a flying saucer supposedly crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. ClA immediately dispatched a team to investigate the incident and kept it a secret ever since. Some witnesses said the U.S. government not only recovered debris from the crashed saucer but also four or five alien bodies. In September 1994, the U.S. Air Force released a new report on that Roswell incident that concluded that the debris found in New Mexico in 1947 probably came from a once top-secret balloon operation, Project Mogul, designed to monitor the atmosphere for evidence of Soviet nuclear tests. Now the UFO phenomenon may be at least a half century old, if not longer, and UFO sightings become more frequent In 1990, the International UFO Congress was founded and is held annually worldwide. At each conference, serious UFO researchers, observers and enthusiasts convene to discuss the UFO phenomenon. For the details of the Congress, please refer to the listening passage in Part D -- Home Listening (2).2. It was one a.m. one cold fal 1 night...It was one a.m. on a cold night in autumn...3. My heart skipped a beat.I was startled at the sight, which made my pulse become abnormal.4.

I was 21 then, and was coming home from a date. I had just dropped off my girlfriend and was heading back to Franksville, a rural town in Wisconsin. As I turned left to go east on Seven Mile Road, I saw extremely bright lights streaming out from the distance.My heart skipped a beat(心停止跳动). What was producing these strange lights visible from a half mile away? I thought it was a house on fire. The lightsR ec o rde r C o l e W i n G a o seemed to emanate(散发) from the area where my house was located. My parents and two brothers were probably in bed by now. As I accelerated and turned onto the town street, frantic(疯狂的) thoughts ran through my mind. Was the house burning down? Was my family trapped(陷入) inside?As I raced toward my house, I noticed that the yards of my house and my neighbors' were illuminated(照明，照亮) as if it were day. Then I saw the source of the strange light. It wasn't a house fire, as I had feared. It was a possibility I would have never anticipated(预期), one that was perhaps even more fearsome than the house fire I had imagined.Hovering motionless(一动 th 不动,静止) only 50 feet above the rooftops was a strange object. Round and silvery, it was approximately 300-400 feet in diameter. In the wake of the hovering(盘旋) enigma(不可思议的东西), there was an eerie silence. I stuck my head out the driver's side window to get a closer look at what I guessed was some kind of aircraft.It looked made of aluminum(铝), except for two cones(锥形物) that protruded(突出) from the top and bottom of the craft's center. Both cones seemed to be made of a glass-like material. The top cone was white, while the bottom cone glowed yellow. White lights circled the yellow cone on the underside of the craft. Each light was about 3-4 feet in diameter.It didn't look like any conventional(惯例的) aircraft I had ever seen. It looked like a flying saucer from a movie. Was this what an alien spaceship truly looked like?I pondered(沉思，考虑) what to do. If I pulled into the driveway I would be putting myself directly beneath(在 ... 之下) the craft. I considered turning the car around and speeding away.Questions I.:Listen to the story and decide whether the follwoign statement are true or false. Write “T ” for true, and “F ” for falseStatements:(F) 1. The narrator saw a strange bright light in the distance when he and his girlfriend were in the car.(T) 2. At first the narrator thought that the bright lights were from a house on fire, possibly his own house.(F) 3. The strange dazzling lights came from a round and silvery dish-like object, which was about three to four feet in diameter.(T) 4. The narrator felt that danger threatened because the object was not like any conventional aircraft he had ever seen.(T) 5. The narrator was at a loss at the sight of the fearsome object and considered running away from the scene.(F) 6. The incident showed that though the narrator was a young man, he displayed a remarkable calmness in the presence of danger.R ec o rde r C o l e W i n G a oQuestions II:Listen to the story again and complete the following sentences with the information you have obtained.1. My heart skipped a beat. What was producing these strange lights visiblefrom a half mile away?2.

Every night I would expect them to be safe in bed. But tonight with that mysterious thing hovering ominously(不吉利地) just above their rooms, I wondered what had become of them.Were they inside the saucer? Held against their will by the alien creatures? What could the aliens possibly want from my family? What could they be doing to them?抑制强烈的感情). I pulled into the driveway. As I slowly reached for the car door handle, I comforted myself by thinking, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."How often does a strange spacecraft come to call? How many chances does a small-town Wisconsin boy get to meet visitors from another world? Perhaps the creatures that awaited didn't consider the hum an an intelligent being. Maybe they just stopped by to chat.Cautiously, I opened the car door. I stepped solidly(坚固地) onto the driveway, prepared to meet my fate. (【原意】死于非命. 习语（动词短语，fate 取单数形式），意为―死于非命‖―送命‖―被杀‖。

He could not swallow it, so he felt a terrible pain.He ran up and down, and tried to find something to relieve the pain.He tried to convince anyone to remove the bone. "I would give anything," he said, "if you would take it out."At last the crane agreed to try. It told the wolf to open his mouth, and then put its long neck down the wolf's throat.The crane loosened the bone with its beak, and finally got it out."Will you kindly give me the reward?" asked the crane.The wolf showed his teeth, and said, "Be content, you have put your head into a wolf's mouth and taken it out again in safety. That is a great reward for you.")Story 2 The Wolf and the Lamb(Once upon a time a wolf was lapping at a stream. When he looked up, he saw a lamb drinking a little lower down."There's my supper," he thought. "I will find some excuse to catch it." Then he called out to the lamb, "How dare you muddle the water?" "No, master," said the lamb. "I cannot muddle your water because it runs down from you to me.""Well, then," said the wolf. "Why did you call me bad names this time last year?" "It was impossible," said the lamb. "I am only six months old.""I don't care," shouted the wolf. "If it was not you, it must be your father." After that he rushed at the poor little lamb and ate it up.)## 3.

Hans Christian AndersonHans Christian Anderson was born in 1805 in Odese, Denmark. His father made shoes and his mother was a washer woman for the wealthy people.In his fairy tales you will find lots of themes showing the differences between the poor and the rich. You will also find the occasional shoemaker.Even as a kid he always loved the arts, and he left home when he was fourteen to make his fortune. He was an artist, a singer and an actor but he was not a success at the star. He grew even poorer and almost died of hunger. He received some money and could afford to continue his education thanks to the person who supported the arts, the director of the royal theater.He went to the university in Copenhagen and began his writing. Here are some of Anderson’s works:The Emperor's New ClothesThe Ugly DucklingThe Princess and the Pea(An emperor hires two tailors who promise to make him a set of remarkable new clothes that will be invisible to anyone who is either incompetent or stupid. When the emperor goes to see his new clothes, he sees nothing at all — for the tailors are swindlers and there aren't any clothes. Afraid of being judgedincompetent or stupid, the emperor pretends to be delighted with the new clothes and “wears” them in a grand parade through the town. Everyone else also pretends to see them, until a child yells out, “He hasn't got any clothes on!”People who point out the emptiness of the pretensions of powerful people and institutions are often compared to the child who says that the emperor has no clothes. )(点击The Ugly Duckling后, 插入图片The Ugly Duckling, 出现以下括号内蓝色字体内容)(The mother's first thought, seeing the odd one in the water, is "He is my own child, and he is not so very ugly after all if you look at him properly." The duckling begins in the farmyard with his family, always the last one to get anything, and always taunted and attacked for his looks, then escapes to the moor among wild ducks, witnesses the carnage among wild geese in the hunting season, escapes from becoming an old woman's pet and is all but frozen into the ice. In the spring, the duckling discovers, from seeing his reflection, that he has grown up to be a beautiful swan — the most beautiful of all birds.The Ugly Duckling has become a metaphor for anything neglected continually, or anything neglected at first, then becoming popular or good. For example: "I can't believe Sara's so accomplished now! She used to be such an ugly duckling.")(点击The Princess and the Pea后, 插入图片The Princess and the Pea, 出现以下括号内蓝色字体内容)(A prince insists on marrying a real princess. When a woman comes to his door maintaining that she is a real princess, the prince's mother tests her by burying a pea under a huge stack of mattresses and then ordering the woman to sleep on the mattresses. The woman cannot sleep and therefore passes the test: being a true princess, she is so delicate that the pea keeps her awake.)### 3. Gulliver’s TravelsAbout the Author(点击About the Author后, 插入图片Swift, 出现以下括号内蓝色字体内容)(Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin, Ireland, on November 30, 1667. His childhood was in some ways unusual. As a year-old baby he was brought to England, while his mother remained in Ireland, and when he was brought back to Ireland a year or two later, his mother returned to England, leaving young Jonathan to be raised by his uncle Godwin Swift. Though his parents were poor, young Jonathan was given the best education that could be had in Ireland. At age fourteen in 1682, young Jonathan entered Trinity College in Dublin. Graduating in 1685, when he was eighteen, Swift obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree. Later he moved to England and started a career in the church. He also discovered his remarkable talent as a satirist and began to write on themes that would stay with him throughout his lifetime---corruption, religion, and education. He became active in politics and was a supporter of the Irish resistance to English oppression while stillbeing a devoted member of the Anglican church. He wrote his masterpiece, Gulliver’s Travels, in 1726. When he died in 1745 at the age of 78 he composed his own epitaph for his gravestone which reads: “He has gone where savage indignation can lacerate his heart no more.”)About the novel(点击About the novel后, 插入图片Gulliver并出现以下括号内蓝色字体内容)(Gulliver in the book goes to sea and time and again gets involved in finding himself in strange lands when his ship sinks or some other tragedy befalls him. The first country is that of the Lilliputs who are only about six inches high. The people he encounters are always very different than he is. Swift uses this as a way of exposing to ridicule and satire the stupidities of our society.)## 1. Part Division of the Text## 2.
