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，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 programme?
A．Romantic stories.B．Mysteries.C．Horror stories.D．Comedies.
【小題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.
【小題3】What does Nessie look like according to some witnesses? 

【小題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.

In the West, some people believe that personality can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was bor. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s personality. In the past century, a new belief ahs arisen: the idea that personality is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A, for example, are considered more likely to be serious, hard-working, and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and outgoing, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people question whether it is true.
The blood-type personality theory(理論) started in Japan in 1927 when Furukawa Takehi noticed personality similarities and differences among his workers. This idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is increasingly popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged between13 and 64 believing in the blood-type personality connection. Though most Asians might believe in the blood-type theory, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken too seriously.
Is the belief true? The scientists in Asia largely dismiss the belief as a modern-day superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and personality. Generally, scientists warn against making predictions or important decisions based on this questionable theory.
【小題1】 The writer uses blood type A and O as an example to explain ________.

A．the difference between to two blood types
B．the relationship between the two blood types
C．the influence of blood type on one’s behavior
D．the connection between personality and blood type
【小題2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．It was lightly believed.B．It was brought to them.
C．They liked and accepted it.D．They stole the idea from others
【小題3】 Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Most scientists in Asia don’t believe in the theory.
B．The blood-type theory began in Japan in the 1970s.
C．The blood-type personality theory is about blood type.
D．People don’t change their personality to match the theory.
【小題4】 What is the best title for the passage?
A．Is the blood-type theory poplar?B．Is the personality changeable?
C．Is it in your blood?D．Is it in you mind?
