Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We hope you’ll enjoy them.

About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.

Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(肿块)on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness.

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式，使短文通顺。

You’re standing with your classmates. E  66 ___  is talking except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at when you say. Maybe you just aren’t b  67  enough to speak. Shyness is like a snake that crawls（爬进）into our mouth and s  68  us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.

I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes v  69  me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the w  70  to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a j  71  in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers（顾客）. I had to tell them how m  72 their meal cost. I had to ask them if they want to drink Coke or Sprite.

This job taught me how to speak with people. You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other c  73  to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. O  74  you can go to get a newspaper for your family. If you do these things for a while, the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin to l  75  you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.

Every year many young people leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several organizations. They help students to find the experience they are looking for. The table below shows a few possibilities for students.

One interesting possibility is helping elephants in Thailand. Most people think o elephants as animals in zoos. In fact, many elephants in Thailand are no longer kept in cages. Now, hundreds of them are homeless. They don’t have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don’t have enough to eat.
One centre in Thailand cares for these elephants. It gives them a safe and natural living space. When they  are at the centre, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help here. The student helpers work with the elephant keepers. These keepers train the students in caring for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the centre. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.
