VI)-Read the following passage carefully, then write True (T) or False (F) for each statement.
People have been talked about UFOs for ages. Millions of normal people keep saying that they were caught and taken into UFOs.
The first case was in the 1950s when George Adamski said a UFO had taken him to the far side of the moon. Another case took place in 1961, when an American couple, Betty and Barley Hill, were chased by a UFO while they were driving home one night in New Hampshire. The couple stopped to observe the UFO through binoculars. To escape from it, they took the back roads and arrived home two hours later.
Fourteen years later, in 1975, one of the most shocking events happened in a small town in Arizona, when a woodcutter called Travis Walton disappeared with a blue-green light from a flying saucer under his teammates' eyes. Five days later, the missing woodcutter returned home and said, “I woke up on the UFO and found myself among strangers with no hair and half-formed face. They put a mask over my face and I

VIII)-Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is any object flying in the sky which cannot be identified by the person who sees it. Sometimes the object is investigated. If people cannot figure out what the object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If they figure out what the object is, it can no longer be called a UFO because it has been identified.
Even though UFOs can be anything, people can use the word UFO when they are talking about alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to describe an identified flying object.
Studies estimate that 50-90% of all reported sightings are identified later. Usually 10 - 20% are never identified. Studies also show that very few UFO sightings are hoaxes (people trying to trick other people). Most UFOs are actually natural or man-made objects that looked strange. 80-90% of UFOs are identified as one of three different things: (a) astronomical causes (for example: planets, stars, or meteors); (b) aircraft; and (c) balloons. 10-20% of UFOs are other causes, such as birds, clouds, mirages, searchlights, etc.
