This incident has received great interest due to reports of strange lights in the sky and of alien visits around the time the boy disappeared.Justin Foster, a high school student, was last seen Friday night. That evening at 8 p.m., Justin went to play baseball with two friends, who both say Justin went home after the game. Witnesses also say they saw Justin walking towards his house at 10.45 p.m. Justin’s siste r, Kelly, aged nine, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 p.m.‘I was getting ready for bed,' Kelly said. ‘Justin went straight to his room. I didn't see him, but I heard him put on his favorite CD. I went to bed, and was woken up around midn ight by a bright light outside my window.’At first, the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon, but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer.‘I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it, and there were many windows. Standing inside were lots of strange creatures with white skin and large black eyes. I was frightened!’Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother's bedroom. ‘There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared. I haven't seen Justin since. I'm sure the aliens took him.’Kelly then ran and woke her mother. However, since Mrs Foster thought that Justin was spending the night with a friend, she assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed. Mr Foster was working that night on his road construction job, and was not home when these events occurred. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. ‘It happened to me!' said Mavis Wood. 'The aliens took me aboard the UFO so that they could do research on me. Luckily, they returned me home without any injures. The whole experience was very terrible! I haven't been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.’When asked about the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case, told journalists, ‘Sometimes people make up such amazing stories. There’s really no hard evidence that aliens took him. So, while we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what h appened.’1. step up2.search 3. due to4. witness5. assume6. occur7. show up8. possibil ity9. make 短语First periodListen and learn: Listen to the wordlist and try to learn the words and phrases by heart.◆Step 1: ◆Step 2: Personal show●Task 1: Give the following words’ Chinese meaningstep up due to show up look intobelong to make one’s way to take charge of make uptale n. witness n. νt. assume vt. construction n.possibility n. evidence n. enthusiastic adj. mystery n.discount n. tournament n. attack vt. & vi. reserve n. vt.existence n. survive vi.& vt.Step 3: Text reading Listen to the text and then finish the following sentences●Task 1: Fill in the blanks according to the text1.

课后分层集训Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained (B卷) Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·西安高三质检)One afternoon，after finishing shopping in a supermarket，my family and I went to the checkout.I suddenly thought we didn't need any of the junk，and we abandoned all of those，saving $300.That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life.With a promise that we'd stop if it was killing us.I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality (节俭)．The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolute essentials.Our adventure began with a great start.By 9 a．m.，my wife，Ruth，had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn't even know we had in the garden.I cleaned the car by hand for the first time for years.I read and returned the neighbor's newspaper before he woke up.Total spending on the first day：$0.As days turned into weeks，we became so proficient at living frugally.We started riding our bikes to save gas.My child's finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents.We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end，we saved more than $2，000 by not spending for a month.When we began，I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket，then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.Instead，we stayed at home and played cards.【语篇解读】本文介绍了作者是如何开始反思并改变自己家的消费习惯从而达到节约和省钱的目的的。
