17、 these are started when cigarette butts(烟蒂 ) and matches are thrown from automobiles. Others are caused by hunter, hikers(徒步旅行者 ), fishermen, or woods workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forest that prohibit sm

18、oking except in certain designated (指定的 )areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles.

The doubters claim there can be no wind on the

29、 moon, so the picture must have been faked. On its own web, NASA said that when the astronauts struggled to plant the US flag in the moon surface, they twisted it around a bit before it stuck. The rippling looks as if it were being carried by the wind. A NASAs expert said he has no ideas about wheth
