A. a giant deer B. a strange man C. a hairy alien
Correct Answer (C). The man explained that a "giant, hairy creature jumped out in front of my car." Since he was speaking of an alien spacecraft, we assume he meant a hairy alien. This is confirmed when he said the alien spoke to him.
4. What happened next to the man?
A. He walked to a flying saucer. B. He followed the animal to a plane. C. He was carried to a spaceship.
Correct Answer (C). The man then said that "the beast opened the car door, carried me on his shoulders to this round-shaped flying saucer and well, that's when I woke up along side the road."

Police Officer: Calm down sir! Now, what do you want to report?
Man: Well, I'd like to report a UFO sighting.
Police Officer: A what?
Man: What do you mean "what?" An unidentified flying object!
Police Officer: Wait, tell me exactly what you saw.
Man: Well, I was driving home from a party about three hours ago, so it was about 2:00 AM, when I saw this bright light overhead.
Police Officer: Okay. And then what happened?
Man: Oh, man. Well, it was out of this world. I stopped to watch the light when it disappeared behind a hill about a kilometer ahead of me.
Police Officer: Alright. Then what?
Man: Well, I got back in my car and I started driving toward where the UFO landed.
Police Officer: Now, how do you know it was a UFO? Perhaps you only saw the lights of an airplane [No], or the headlights of an approaching car [No]. Things like that happen, you know.
Man: Well if it was that, how do you explain "the BEAST"?

Police Officer: Wow? A hairy alien who can speak English! Come on!
Man: I'm not making this up, if that's what you're suggesting. Then, when I didn't get out of the car, the beast opened the car door, carried me on his shoulders to this round-shaped flying saucer, and well, that's when I woke up along side the road. The beast must have knocked me out and left me there.
Police Officer: Well, that's the best story I've heard all night, sir. Now, have you been taking any medication, drugs, or alcohol in the last 24 hours? You mentioned you went to a party.
Man: What? Well, I did have a few beers, but I'm telling the truth.

【日常英语听力训练】三十九期 我可不愿去日本洗澡了：（
答案：
B C C A B
原文：
Nate: Hey Phil: Have you ever been to a Japanese public bath? I hear it's quite an experience.
Phil: Yes, and what an experience.
Nate: What do you mean?
Phil: Well, it's nothing like visiting a swimming pool in the States.
Nate: Well, what do you do when you go to a public bath?
Phil: First, you take off your shoes before you enter.
Nate: Okay.
Phil: Then, you pay an entrance fee to the man or woman at the front counter. [Um-huh]. Next, you get undressed in the dressing room. And I was very surprised . . . and a little embarrassed to see that the woman who took my money was sitting on a platform where she had a clear view of the men's side of the dressing room.[Really?] This allows the workers to keep an eye on the patrons' belongings while they are in the bath.
Nate: Wow. And do you wear a bathing suit or something?
Phil: Oh no! You don't wear anything. Then you go into the main bathing area and wash your body while sitting on a small stool about 40 centimeters high.
Nate: On a stool!
Phil: Yeah. It was really hard getting used to bathing in that position. Sometimes, even, people wash each other's backs.
Nate: Oh really. So, what do you do after that?
Phil: Well, after you've rinsed off all the soap, they usually have two or three large baths where you can soak for a while.
Nate: Do you actually share the bath with other people?
Phil: Yeah. Traditionally, the bath played an important role in the community. It gave neighbors an opportunity to socialize while bathing.
Nate: Huh. Interesting.
Phil: When you're all done bathing, people relax in the dressing room by watching TV, drinking tea or juice, or talking to friends. It's quite an experience.
