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 colour 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 even 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(包，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.

Students learn their lessons in class. They sit in the 1.c            listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the 2.o     way for students to learn? Of course not. There is another way to learn. That is students can teach themselves. For 3.e         , if you can’t remember something when you are doing your 4.h       , what will you do? You can look at your books to 5.f       the answer.

How to teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you are6.i          in, or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. A clever student is usually 7.g        at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by 8.t         hard, by reading books, and sometimes by asking

9.o         people. These are the ways of teaching yourself. If you keep doing like these for a long time, you are 10.s       to make great  progress in your study.

 

Dear Dave,

I’m not happy. There are too many rules in my house. It isn’t fair. I have to get up at five o’clock every morning. I can’t arrive late for school. I have to be there at eight o’clock. I have to come back home after school because I have to do my homework. In the evening I can’t watch TV because I have to help my mother make dinner and wash the dishes. I have to go to bed before ten o’clock. On weekends, I have to stay at home on Saturday morning. I have to clean my room and wash my clothes by eleven o’clock. On Saturday afternoon, I have to go to the children’s palace to learn the piano. Do you have lots of rules? Are they fair?                                                                   

Your friend,

Alice
