e Hargrove, his brother Michael, and their friend John Cummings watched as a flying object flew nearer. It was square with rounded corners and it had a yellow light at each corner and a light underneath. The three boys quickly realized that they were seeing something strange. They became frightened and ran to the dugout(休息室 ) by the field. By then, the object had disappeared. Before they could discuss what had happened, they noticed what looked like a man in a yellow jogging suit across the road from the field. Michael thought it was a neighbor who often jogged in the evening. “Mr. Johnson,” Michael called to the man, “did you see that UFO?” Immediately the man turned toward the boys, and Michael’s tongue was frozen. Just then, ten other creatures, all in yellow jogging suits, joined him. Each one was bald(秃头 ) and had large, dark, square places where his eyes should have been。 their skin was light yellow. “Have you heard of Hitler’s army?” John later said. “You know how they walked kind of stiff(僵硬地 ), with their arms straight? Well, that’s . . . how they looked.” Some of them were walking back and forth, while others headed down a nearby road. Finally they walked through the back wall of a building and disappeared pletely. Now everything was normal again — almost. Could they have been joggers? Officer Pelsang of the Montvale Police Department said he had never seen more than two people jogging together in Montvale and never after dark. Three UFO investigators(调查者 ) decided to study the case. The three men discovered that the Department of Public Works (DPW) was opposite the school’s playing field and near where the boys first saw the yellowsuited aliens and that the DPW workers wore yellow uniforms in bad weather. However, Lewis Bradley of the DPW stated that all workers had gone home at 4:30 . on the day in question and that none were wearing yellow uniforms that day. Did the boys see a UFO? Officer Pelsang said, “Twelveyear old boys don’t call the police unless they’re really upset about something.” However, no matter what the investigators wanted to believe, they could not prove that anything had happened. As they wrote in their final report, “The story is interesting but, alas, the amount of value from a case of this kind . . . is doubtful.” 60.

Lance Armstrong, America’s bicycle hero had that happen in his life many times! Lance Armstrong was born on September 18, 1971. He grew up in Texas, where football is a very popular sport. Lance wanted to be a football player but lacked the coordination(协调 ). He felt very bad about this failure but didn’t give up on sports. He decided to try swimming. As a fifth grader, Lance joined a swim club but was put in a group with second graders. This was very embarrassing but he wanted to be successful and before long, he was put in his age group. When Lance was thirteen years old he started as a triathlete, the sport where petitors swim, cycle and run. He was good in the water and fast on his feet, but cycling was Armstrong’s strength, and he soon decided to concentrate on cycling petitions. He won the US amateur cycling championship in 1991, and turned professional the following year. In 1996 Lance Armstrong was diagnosed(诊断 ) with cancer, which had already spread to his brain and lungs, and doctors told him he had a 50/50 chance of surviving. Armstrong underwent surgery(手术 ), received highdose chemotherapy(化疗 ), and eventually recovered. His doctors then told him the 50/50 line had been a little white lie — they did not want to get his spirits down. In 1998, he became determined to overe the difficulties and get back to riding petitively. In 1999, he qualified for cycling’s most famous race, the Tour de France — a huge race around all of France. The total distance is more than 2,000 miles, and it is broken into 21 stages. The race’s flat stages eventually give way to steep(陡峭的 ) mountains, which separate the winner from the alsorans. Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times continuously, from 1999 through 2020. Cycling is a big part of Armstrong’s life, but it is not his whole life. In 1997, Armstro。
