3．Good evening，ladies and gentlemen．Welcome to the nine o'clock Story Hour．Today we'll show you two mystical stories．We hope you'll enjoy them．
About 900years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England．These two children's 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 people don't have enough food to eat for a long time，the skin would go 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 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 lots of people say they have seen the monster．Descriptions from them are always the same．It looks like a dinosaur^*，with a very long neck and a small head．It has a big bump^* 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 shark 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．

20．Thousands of people have been killed in a massive（大规模的） earthquake in Japan．The quake--the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100years--caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead．
The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday （March 11）off Japan's eastern coast，and prompted （引发） tsunami warnings（海啸警报）across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U．S．West Coast．Several days after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami destroyed the coastline．The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900．The largest，with a 9.5magnitude，shook Chile （智利） in 1960．

19．"No man is an island"is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion．It was written more than three hundred years ago．Even now people still agree with him．No one can live a completely lonely life．Without other people，life will become empty and sad．We all need to have friends．
For some of us，although making friends is not difficult，feeling shy，we may not want to make the first move．It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have．
There are many books about friendship，but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People，written in 1936，is the most famous．This"how to"book about getting along with other people became a best seller．It was later put into 28languages．
Dale Carnegie's advice seems to be simple，but can his advice help you？Do you need to change the way you act？Here is the list of advice from his book：
?Be friendly and polite．
Always greet with a smile．Begin with"Excuse me"or"Would you please"when you want to ask somebody．Remember to say"Thank you"and try to be as helpful as you can．
?Go out of your way to be nice．
Find some time to do special things for other people．Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you，but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better．
?Remember names．
They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name．
?Be open-minded．
Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them．
?Listen patiently．
When someone is talking to you，look at him or her，listen carefully and say something when necessary．

18．What do you do if you're in trouble on a lonely island？Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world．Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane．
Body signals
Pilots （people who drive planes） in different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training．When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line，it means"yes"．When you point downwards and swing（摆动）your arm from side to side，it means"no"．If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land，push your hands out in front of you and bend （弯曲） your knees．If you want to say that it's not safe to land，put your arms in the air and move them to one side．
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away，so it's a good way to draw attention．If the weather is dry，it isn't hard to start a fire．Remember，however，that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control．Make sure if you light（点燃） a fire，it can't be spread（扩散）．If the ground is dark，light smoke can be seen more easily．Green grass and leaves produce light smoke．
Ground-to-air signals
It's a good idea to build some signals，too．Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols．If you can't find any wood，use earth．Some useful symbols are：
F："I need food and water．"Ⅱ："I need medicine．"I："I am badly hurt．"X："I am unable to move from here．"
Pilots'replies
If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side，this means"message received and understood"．（At night，the pilot makes plane's lights green）．If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle，he means"message received but not understood"．（At night，the pilot makes the plane's lights red．）
However，there is no signal which means"message not received"．Why not？

26．Which picture means"it's not safe to land"？D

27．What can we learn from the passage？C
A．Swinging your arm from side to side means"yes"．
B．If the ground is dark，light smoke can't be seen．
C．If you need some medicine，make a symbol"II"．
D．The pilots make replies a blue light at night．
28．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．The explanation of building signals on a lonely island．
B．The importance of making signals on a lonely island．
C．Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island．
D．Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island．

17．I worked for a short time as a cashier（出纳员） at a restaurant a fewmonths ago．I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy．Onenight，just before Christmas，I found a large black wallet on thefloor near one of the tables．I guessed I should check it to find out who wasthe owner，but I was very busy at the time．And I imagined that if there wassomething valuable（有价值的） in the wallet，the owner would be back．Sure enough，an hourlater a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet．Iasked him to describe the lost wallet，and after he described it exactly，Igave him the wallet．He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him．He askedme if I had opened it，and when I told him"no"．At once he opened it andshowed that it had nearly 800dollars in cash（现金）．He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this．"A reward（酬劳） for your honesty，"he said and then turned and walked away．
Thinking about it later，I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet!I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it，I might keep it．But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet．The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy．
