At around 9 p.m. ET, a small, bright, silvery circular cloud of light suddenly appeared. Over the next 25 minutes, the cloud appeared to gradually expand and fade, finally becoming invisible to the unaided eye. Those who saw it, wondered exactly what it might have been. John Bottle, a well-known amateur astronomer with over four-decades of experience of sky observing first caught sight of the cloud at 9:03 p. m. from his home in Stormville, New York. Initially, he thought the cloud was as bright as zero or first magnitude and upon examining it carefully with binoculars, thought that it "... resembled the petals of a day lily." By 9:30 p. m. , he reported that the cloud had faded completely from his view. From the North Fork of Long Island, Bill Bogardus and his wife were out observing when they took note of the cloud "... about the size of the moon" in the northwest sky. "It was a roundish, yet not all that round, object drifting towards our location very slowly, slower than most satellites because it took at least twenty minutes to move from where we first saw it to pretty much our zenith." After studying it for a while through an 8-inch telescope, Bogardus noticed two points of light, "... like a satellite would appear, in line and above a jet of gas that seemed to come from them." Observing from Ithaca, New York, Joseph Storch used 7×50 binoculars on the cloud and reported a star-like point or nucleus and four butterfly shaped petals radiating outward. Other reports, received as far west as Toronto, tell of people who initially thought that what they were seeing was the moon behind a cloud. Typical was the comment: "For a second I thought it was the moon, then I realized the moon was in the east." What was it? Quite a few people who saw this strange, expanding cloud thought that it might have been an atmospheric experiment sent aloft by a sounding rocket. Over the years, those living along the East Coast have been accustomed to occasionally seeing unusual brightly colored clouds caused when exotic chemicals such as barium and trimethylaluminum were released into the Earth's ionosphere by rockets launched from NASA’s Wallops Island, Virginia site. NASA was indeed responsible for the unusual cloud formation on Tuesday night, but it was not part of a planned experiment. It was, in reality, a fuel dump of the Centaur stage involved in the NRO-1 satellite launch from Cape Canaveral late Tuesday afternoon. Dumping excess fuel is the usual practice for all Centaur-booster assisted launches. It happens after spacecraft separation; the fuel bleeding off from a Centaur upper rocket stage on its second orbit after launch. Being just after nightfall, the cloud of fuel was still sunlit at that altitude. And those who were fortuitously outside when the dump occurred, were the ones who saw this very unusual sight!

填空题 · Read the article below about the life cycle of a condensed employee. · Choose the best sentence from the list (A-G) to fill each of the gaps. · For each gap (8-12), mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet. · Do not use any letter more than once. {{B}}A CONDENSED EMPLOYEE LIFE CYCLE{{/B}} An employee life cycle is the steps the employees go through from the time they enter a company until they leave. Often Human Resources professionals focus their attention on the steps in this process in hopes of making an impact on the company's bottom line. That is a good thing for them to do. Their goal is to reduce the company's cost per employee hired. Employees are one of a company's largest expenses these days. Unlike other major capital costs (buildings, machinery, technology, etc.) human capital is highly volatile. You, as a manager, are in a key position to reduce that volatility using the condensed employee life cycle of HIAR (pronounced hire) —Hire, Inspire, Admire, and Retire. Hire: This first step is probably the most important. It is important to hire the best people you can find.{{U}} (8) {{/U}}The cost of replacing a bad hire far exceeds the marginal additional cost of hiring the best person in the first place. Inspire. Once you have recruited the best employees to come to work on your team, the hard part begins. You have to inspire them to perform to their capabilities.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}That is where you will get their best effort and their creativity which will help your organization excel. Admire. Once you have hired the best employees and have challenged and motivated them, you cannot relax.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}The same attention you should pay to their work assignments, to their satisfaction levels, to their sense of being part of a great team needs to continue for as long as they are in your group. As soon as you start to slack off, their satisfaction and motivation will decrease. If you don't do something, they will become disenchanted and will leave. They will become part of the "employee turnover" statistic you were trying to avoid. Retire: This is when you know have been successful. When employees see your company as the employer of choice, they will join you.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}As long as you continue to inspire, motivate, and challenge them, they will continue to contribute at the high levels you need in order to beat your competition. They will be long-term employees even staying with you and your company until they retire.{{U}} (12) {{/U}}You will attract and retain second and even third generation employees. A．This is not a time to be cheap. B．When they recognize you as a good boss and a real leader, they will stay around. C．To the extent that you can be a good boss, you can keep employees, keep them happy, and reduce the costs associated with employee turnover. D．Their goal is to reduce the company's cost per employee hired. E．The biggest mistake a manager can make is to ignore employees. F．You have to challenge and motivate them. G．They will refer other quality employees to your company, including their relatives.
