At 2:30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy (海军) training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the
coast--- and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Taylor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Taylor reported that his compasses（指南针） were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leader aimlessly, firs east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Taylor tried to make sure of the direction by radio.

E. Answer the question（根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（14分）
Quite a few people believe that the phases of the moon（月相）affect the behavior of human and other creatures. That is known as the lunar effect（月相效应）. The lunar effect has been around for many centuries. The power of the moon is often used to explain a wide range of events, such as human insanity（精神错乱）, and increases in violent crimes（暴力犯罪） and traffic accidents. According to some traditions, for example, before the coming of modern techniques, surgeons（外科医生） would refuse to operate on the full moon nights because of the increased
risk of death of the patient through blood loss. The idea behind the lunar effect ahs even found its way into the news. For example, it has been said that the full moon may have influenced voters’（选民）behavior in the 2000 U.S. presidential election（总统大选）.
Does the moon affect our behavior at all? Some people say it does. They say the moon causes the tides, so surely that the moon has an effect on people and we ourselves are full of the water, too. But scientists point out that the moon only affects unrestrained（不受控制的） waters, such as oceans. The water in our bodies isn’t even comparable（可比较）. And over fifty years of research has shown nothing to prove the existence（存在） of a causative（引起联系的） link between the moon and areas such as mental illness, birth rates, crime, or accidents.
There is an explanation for why people link the full moon to unusual human behavior. The reason is that people have selective memories（选择性记忆）. When something unusual happens and there is a full moon, people might notice the moon and think it is to be blamed.
99. What do quite a few people believe?
100. What is used to explain wide range of events?
101. Why would surgeons refuse to operate on the full moon nights?
102. Do some people say that the moon affect our behavior?
103. Scientists hardly agree that the moon affect people’s behavior, do they?
104. How long has the research on the lunar effect been done?
105. Why do people link the full moon to unusual human behavior? Ⅸ. Writing （作文）： （共18分）
