Aliens arrive!
Tina woke up at midnight. She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky. It suddenly dived towards the ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light.
The next morning, Tina mentioned it to her brother Tom. “I’m sure something landed in the forest near the hills as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said.
“Let’s go and explore after school tonight.”
At 6:00 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet. Then they saw an alien! It was tall, with a round head and a silver body. It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash.
Suddenly, another alien appeared from the bushes in front of them. The children were frightened. But then Tom got a feeling at the back of his throat. He couldn’t stop himself and coughed loudly. The aliens saw them both and made a terrible noise! The children ran away in fear.
The next day, Tina and Tom told their parents about the strange creatures. “They were very ugly. They had some hair, but they didn’t have any feathers,” said Tina.
“There was something written on the spaceship,” said Tom. “It looked like this. I wonder what it means.” He drew some lines on a piece of paper.
Dad looked at them as if they were crazy. “Since no one else saw these aliens, I refuse to believe you. Now go to school!”
The children spread their wings and flew to school together.
Dad looked at the piece of paper with the strange marks on it. “It looks strange,” he said, as he looked at the word “EARTH”.
Read lines 1–16.

拓展作业
根据课文内容，从宇航员Liz的角度口头复述故事ALIENS ARRIVE!
I’m astronaut Liz. At midnight, my spaceship crashed on an unknown planet …
“I’m sure something landed in the forest near the hills as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said.
此句为复合句，含宾语从句和原因状语从句。主句为“I’m sure ...”，形容词 sure 后面为省略 that 的宾语从句，其中 landed 为谓语动词，意为“从空中落下”；as 是连词，用于引导原因状语从句。原因状语从句是本单元语法板块的重点，可在这里做适当铺垫。本句意为：“我确定有东西落在了小山附近的森林里，因为我昨晚听到一声巨响。”
There was something written on the spaceship.
此句中 written on the spaceship 是过去分词作后置定语，修饰 something，说明“某物”是被写在飞船上的文字或标记。本句意为：“飞船上面写着一些东西。”
Since no one else saw these aliens, I refuse to believe you.
句中的 Since 是引导原因状语从句的连词，侧重将已知事实作为理由，常翻译成“既然”。本句意为：“既然没有其他人看见这些外星人，我拒绝相信你们。”
