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.
【小题1】What kind of story is talked about in this programme?
A.Romantic stories. | B.Mysteries. | C.Horror stories. | D.Comedies. |
A.They both enjoyed a long and happy life. |
B.The girl’s eyes and skin were green all her life. |
C.At first they spoke the same language as people in the small village did. |
D.Maybe they hadn’t eaten enough for long before they reached the village. |
A.Scientists are still not sure whether there is a monster or not in Loch Ness. |
B.Loch Ness is very deep and warm lake in Scotland. |
C.People have taken very clear pictures of Nessie. |
D.In fact Nessie is a whale or a snake. |

Kelly Christopher, a student at Lutheran High School in California, US, loves oranges. One day last week, she used a pole(竿子) to pick oranges off trees and collect them in baskets. It's the first time in her 15 years she's picked fruit from trees.
"This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I'll remember this experience."
Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.
"It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."
"Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.
Shannon Galloway, Christopher's science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.
"You're making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it's meaningful to everyone."
Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.
"Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."
【小题1】Christopher and other students went to pick fruits from real trees because they wanted to _____.
A.have some fresh fruit for themselves |
B.make some money by selling fruit |
C.provide people with more healthy fruit |
D.buy some cheap fruit from their neighbors |
A.In 2008. | B.In 2009. | C.In 2010. | D.In 2011. |
A.The fruit will rot or be eaten by small animals. |
B.People who need the fruit will come to pick it. |
C.The fruit will be used as a resource for research. |
D.Homeowners will pick the fruit and sell it. |
A.资源 | B.调查 | C.对策 | D.娱乐 |
A.It’s interesting and easy. |
B.It’s meaningless and hard. |
C.It’s meaningful and exciting. |
D.It’s tiring and boring. |
