The British plane was flying over an island at 19,000 feet when the captain noticed that something was on their left and a little lower than their plane. It"s about five miles away.
"It was not one object but several," the captain said. "We saw one large and six smaller objects. I sent a radio to report about them and I received the answer that the other planes were coming out to meet us. Before the planes arrived, the smaller objects entered the big objects. The big object then became smaller and moved away fast."

When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make
the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches
into robots. Each cockroach has a very small pack that has in it a microprocessor(微处理器).Then
researchers can send signals from the remote control to the pack. The signals control the movements
of the cockroaches.
Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? "Insects can domany things that people can"t," says
Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble(瓦砾)to look for
people or move under doors to find information about someone.
This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The
government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
First, the researchers breed (培育)hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and
remove their wings and antennae(触须). They put small packs where the antennae were. The packs weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. "Cockroaches are very
strong," says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. "They can lift 20 times their own
weight. "
With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packs. When a cockroach gets the signal, it
moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don71 always move in the right direction.
B. they want to control the movements of the cockroaches
C. they want cockroaches to take photos of the earthquakes
D. they want to send signals to the packs on the cockroaches
B. They can help people to carry very small cameras.
C. They can breed hundreds of cockroaches.
D. They can search for those people in rubble after an earthquake.
B. by sending signals from the remote control
C. by using very small cameras
D. by removing their antennae
A. The cockroachcs sometimes clon;t move.
B. The cockroachcs sometimes move in ihc wrong direction.
C. The cockroachcs arc too big to move through earthquake rubble.
D. The cockroachcs can only lift 20 times their own weight.
