Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）Police in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing three days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. This case has received great interest because it is said that aliens visited when the boy disappeared.Justin Foster, a high school student, was last seen on Friday night. That evening at 8 p.m., Justin’s friends called him to play baseball. Witnesses (目击者) say they saw Justin walking towards his house at 10:45 p.m. Justin’s sister, Kelly, says she heard her brother return home at about 11 p.m., but she didn’t see him with her own eyes.“I was on bed at that time. Suddenly I was woken up at midnight by a bright light outside my window.” Kelly said.“I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it. Standing inside were lots of aliens. I was frightened!”Kelly said that the spaceship then moved towards her brother’s bedroom. “There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared. I’m sure the aliens took him away.”Kelly then ran and woke up her mother. However, Mrs. Foster thought that Kelly was having a bad dream, so she sent her back to bed. Mr. Foster was not home that night. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. “It’s happened to me!” said Mrs. Smith. “The aliens took me aboard the UFO for research. Luckily, they sent me home without any injuries. The whole experience was terrible! I haven’t been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.”When asked about whether Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Peterson, who has taken charge of the case, told reporters. “Sometimes people make up stories. There’s really no hard proof that aliens took him. So we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.”58.
