I. Read the text and answer the questions.
One night Mrs.Boweles was driving her car from Winchester to Chilcomb with a friend of the family, Mr. Ted Pratt.
Suddenly they saw an orange light in the sky. The car started to shake and Mrs.Boweles couldn't control it. Some unknown power lifted it, then pushed to the left, then stopped the engine and switched off the lights.
'It was then that we saw a cigar-shaped object about fiveyards long. There were three figures inside,' said Mrs.Boweles. The three figures were the crew of the UFO. Mrs.Boweles
said that she had never been so frightened before.
At first, the alien crew looked like ordinary people. They were wearing silver clothes.
Then an alien came out of the UFO. He was quite tall andseemed to be about forty-five years old. He had long fair hair and a short beard. He put his arm on the roof of the car and looked at the two frightened people inside. He had clear, white skin and pink eyes. Mrs.Boweles was afraid that the alien would kill them, but he only looked at the car's instruments. Suddenly the lights switched on automatically and they shone four times brighter than normal. Mrs. Boweles wanted to say 'Thank you' but before she opened her mouth the UFO and its crew had already disappeared into the night.
