Visitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens， even hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was a still a dream of the distance future. Indeed， they could have landed on 90％ of the earth as recently as two or three hundreds years ago, and we could never heard of it。 If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be explained as visits from outer space。 A writer， Charles Fort， has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo！ One tempted to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel.

A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England。 This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children’s safety on the roads.
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school， or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead， as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Limington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school。 But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Limington and back， a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out， but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡20 a term。
They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Limington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan。
64。 What is the aim of the plan？
A。 To prevent the students' road accidents. B。 To relieve the traffic pressure。
C. To save time for the parents and students. D。 To help the parents save money。
65. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost？
A. By letting the bus run in the morning only. B。 By limiting the number of the students.
C。 By obtaining the support from the headmaster.
D。 By linking the new bus service with the existing one。
66。 Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out？
A。 The bus company will make much more money.
B。 The children can choose whatever school they like.
C。 The parents can get rid of their worries。
D。 The students in Limington School can have free bus rides。
67. This passage is most probably_____.
A. a personal letter B. an advertisement C. a headmaster’s report D。 a newspaper article
