Task 6 Homework
1. Finish the rest exercises on pages 4-5
2. Read the passage, and answer the questions below.
We all know that we live in a complex world .Although the techniques of the human beings are developing all the time; we still got so many unsolved problems. Among all of these puzzles, UFO is one of the most noticeable things.
Now as everybody knows, UFO is what we call Unknown Flying Object for short. For a period of time, once we mentioned UFO, we always communicate it with high-tech, extra-terrestrials, outer space culture and many other exciting things.
There are a lot of witnesses around the world, affirming that they chanced to have seen some strange things in the sky. However, most of them cannot hand in the credible evidence .That's a pity.
With the long-term efforts of the urologists, most of the incidents are finally considered as natural phenomenon or human conducts. Some so-called UFO is just a bird, a plane, a balloon or even a plastic bag.
Until now, we haven't found any clues on real extraterrestrial civilization or supernatural phenomenon .But we are willing to see, with the constant exertion of humanity, we will get more profound knowledge; we will get to realize the essence of the world. We have the faith!
