A Strange Sight

　　It was a cold morning on a beach in Florida. Only a few people were out. They came upon a strange sight. Huge black whales were lying on the sand. The whales were 20 feet long. They almost covered the beach.

　　Many of the whales were still living. A rescue team came with boats and long ropes. They tied the ropes around the tails of some whales. They used the boats to pull the whales into deep water. Some of the whales turned around as soon as they were free. They began to swim back to the beach. About 50 whales were saved, but the others died on the beach.

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(腫塊)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.
【小題1】What kind of story is talked about in this program?

A．Romantic stories.B．Mysteries.C．Horror stories.D．Comedies.
【小題2】Where did the stories happen?
        
A．B．C．D．
【小題3】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.
【小題4】What does Nessie look like according to some witnesses? 

【小題5】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.
