In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness. It’s the deepest lake in the UK. People say a big monster (妖怪) lives in the water. It weighs at least 1,000 kilos. A lot of people went to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people said they saw it. Nobody knows if they really saw it.

The Loch Ness Monster is a famous story. People first told it over 500 years ago, but it became popular later. In 1993, somebody said he saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. After that, some people also said they saw a monster in Loch Ness. A few people took photos, but some of them weren’t real photos. Then scientists worked hard to find out the fact. They took lots of photos, but they couldn’t find the monster.

Can we make animals work for us? Some scientists think that one day we can teach animals to do a lot of things for people. They say that in a film or on TV you may see elephants, monkeys, dogs or some other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find those animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some easy work if they know they will get something to eat.

We all know elephants are strong and can carry large logs(原木) and dogs can look after houses. And we can even teach animals to work in factories. In America, for example, people use apes(猿猴)to help make cars. Scientists think that those big monkeys may, one day, drive trains. Now people are trying to let them do something just like men.

One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he arrived, Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why?

In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor above the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.

The story shows that there are a few cultural differences between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.

The British usually hide their feelings. They seldom start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books. But Americans are quite different. They're more active and easier to talk with.
