   Sometimes people say that they see strange flying objects (物体) high up in the sky. People call these strange objects "Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)".
   Dennis Bardens wrote an article. In it, he told us that he once saw a UFO himself. He had dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya. After dinner Dennis with his friend walked across a yard (院子) to his room. He noticed that the "moon"looked strange that night. But it wasn't the moon. He saw the object's light was moving. It seemed to be an object like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with light on it. But it wasn't smoke because it didn't change its shape (形状). When the object was nearer, he noticed that its bottom (底部的) part was brighter than the top. The bottom part was yellow and the top was red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left, moving very fast.
   On a later day, Dennis talked to other people about it, and he found some people also saw it. They all described (描述) it in the same way.

One day, a successful businessman was getting ready to go to his office in the morning. When he opened the door of his car, a stray dog(流浪狗) sleeping under his car suddenly came out and bit his leg! He was angry and threw a rock at the dog, but he was not able to hit it.

Upon reaching his office, the businessman called a meeting of his managers. During the meeting, he took out his anger on his managers. His managers were upset about this, and took out their own anger on the employees(员工) working under them. Gradually, the businessman's anger spread through the whole company. '

The businessman was still angry after returning home. His wife opened the door. She asked him, "Why are you so late today?" The man shouted at his wife, "I didn't go to the office to play soccer, I went to work. So don't ask me such stupid questions!" His wife was upset about being shouted at for no reason. She turned her anger on their son, who was watching TV. "This is all you do. You have no interest in studying! Turn off the TV now!" She yelled.

The son became upset as well. He walked out of his house and saw a dog passing by. He picked up a rock and threw it at the dog angrily. The dog ran away, barking in pain.

Sometimes, when we are angry about something, we might take out our anger on others who are not to blame for our mood. This is not fair to others. We should learn to control our anger.

It was a sunny. sky after the typhoon(台风) passed and some people found a very large hole next to their village.

All of the villagers came out to see the hole. They looked inside, but it was dark and nobody could see anything. What happened? Was it a fox hole?

A young man was so surprised that he shouted at the hole, "Hey, come out!" However, only his voice came back from the hole. Then, he picked up a small rock(岩石) and threw(扔) it down the hole. But, still, nothing came out.

To find out the fact of the hole, the villagers asked a scholar(学者) for help. After looking over the hole, he found nothing, but he tried to look confident, and said for sure, "It's no problem to fill(填充) it up!"

Seeing this, a businessman came up and offered to buy the hole with lots of money. Later, he built up a company called"Hole-Filling Company". He told everyone the company could hold any litter but they had to pay for it.

From then on, more and more people came here to put their litter into the hole:

Hospitals got here to throw the dead people.

The government put all the dirty water into the hole.

…

Slowly, the sea and sky became beautifully blue. Under this clear sky, more and more buildings were built up.

One day, a worker was working on the top of a tall building. Looking at the blue sky, clear water and green plants, he was happy that the city was getting more and more beautiful.

Suddenly, he heard a strange shout above his head, "Hey, come out!"

However, when he looked up, he found nothing. When he sat down for a rest, a rock flew down in front of him from the direction(方向) of the strange shout. He picked it up and wanted to know why it came from the sky.

Of course, he didn't know anything about the rock. Only the young man in the village could know that: it was the same rock that he threw into the hole.

Several days later, the sky was not as beautifully blue as before. More and more litter fell down from the sky-dead people, dirty water...
