Indeed, they could have landed on 90 percent of the earth as
14、recently as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted as visits from outer space. A stimulating writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of
15、 UFO sighting in his book! One is 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. Yet at the same time, one cant take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightings
16、 of meteors, comets, auroras, and so on, gave rise to the most incredible stories, as they still do today. 21 According to the passage, visitors from space may have landed on the earth _.（A）long before man had dreamed of it（B） long before there were human beings（C） in the last few hundred years（D）af

20、er of the collegiate basketball team. It was mainly composed of bookish students. Only one could be counted as natural athlete, another half-qualified. Thats why we were defeated nine out of ten games. Our spirits, however, had never dampened, for we were a cheerful team. None would strive to get in
21、to the spotlight when we were gaining the upper hand; nor would we blame each other when we were losing. Thus a cordial relationship between members prevailed in our team. Most recommendable of all was our morale which never lowered. Our sportsmanship also remained good. We persisted in carrying on
22、to the last when suffering great loss. We knew we had done our best, showing no regret at failure. To the rest of the students our team was a good one though it lost the game. They kept encouraging us and none of them was disappointed.Recently I have avoided watching games, not even at a TV live cov
23、erage, still less to the match in person. Thats because I know I couldnt control myself. When watching a match, Ill inevitably take sides and be emotionally involved, strongly wishing for the triumph of the side over its opponent.

24、pell worry and misery for me.Not long ago when I accompanied my wife to a super world tennis match my horizons broadened as regards sports competition.

25、sult of all the efforts made by both sides. As one of the audience, I should applaud the energetic performance of both to the neglect of the result.

35、you could hear what the average men think of the average women. Women won their independence years ago. After a long, biter struggle, they now enjoy the same educational opportunities as men in most parts of the world. They have proved repeatedly that they are equal and often superior to men in almo
36、st every field. The hard-fought battle for recognition has been won, but it is by no means over. It is men, not women who still carry on the sex war because their attitude remains basically hostile. Even in the most progressive societies, women continue to be regarded as second-rate citizens. Hearin
37、g some men talk, youd think that women belong to a different species. On the surface, the comments made by men about womens abilities seem light-heartiness does not conceal the real contempt (轻视) that men feel for women. However much men sneer at women, their claims to superiority are not borne out
38、by statistics. We all know that women cause far fewer accidents than men. They are too careful and responsible to drive like menaces. But this is a minor quibble (双关语 ). Women have succeeded in any job you care to name. As politicians, soldiers, doctors, bus-conductors, scientists and presidents of
