　　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．

　　In the 13^th century, the famous Indian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China．He saw many wonderful things．One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money．In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15^th century．However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7^th century．

　　A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago．He made it from wood．He took the wood from trees and made it into paper．He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book．

　　Now paper still comes from trees．We use a lot of paper every day．If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth．If there are no trees, there will be no paper．Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city．It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper．This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day．Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now．If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper．

　　So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes．We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕)and paper ones．When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags．If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and refuse(拒绝)it later．

　　Everyone can help to save paper．If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees．But we should do it now, before it is too late．
