It called these strange objects UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are (55) today.

It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments (65) on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?
选项
A、believers
B、thinkers
C、followers
D、runners
答案
A
解析
true believers确信者。尽管军方的调查没有发现天外来客的迹象,但这并没有使确信这是外星人的那些人改变想法。这些人只能被称为true believers(笃信者),而不是thinkers(思想家),或者followers(追随者)。Runners则和文章的内容完全无关。
