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. | | 1. What kind of story is talked about in this programme? | A. Romantic stories.
B. Mysteries.
C. Horror stories.
D. Comedies. | | 2. Which sentence is TRUE about the two green children? | 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. | | 3. What does Nessie look like according to some witnesses? |  | | 4. What can we learn from the second story? | 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. | | 完形填空。 | Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him had dropped all of

| | 阅读理解。 | I love it at night. It"s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don"t really care
for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me
to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an
able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed.
The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell
me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was
perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything
exactly right. I"m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold (折叠) everything,
including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to
make the bed. I know sometimes she"d get frustrated (沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to
do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn"t like it much, but I did
it.
Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now
when I think about it, I don"t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway,
when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned. | | 1. The writer used to take care of the lady because ________. | A. she wanted to learn to do housework
B. she was a friend of the lady"s
C. she had to earn some money
D. she couldn"t find a room to live in | | 2. The underlined word "paralyzed" in the first paragraph may mean "________ ". | A. destroyed
B. deaf
C. seriously ill
D. unable to walk | | 3. The little girl was ________ when the lady taught her how to do housework. | A. encouraged to learn
B. unwilling to learn
C. delighted to learn
D. recommended to learn | | 4. Now the writer ________. | A. is still afraid of the lady
B. hates the strict lady
C. admires the disabled lady
