Unit 5 Are the Secrets in the Sand
2
In 1823 a young woman noticed a strange fossil on a beach near Lyme Regis, England.
3
She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home.
4
She carefully arranged the skeleton on a table.
5
Then she saw something extraordinary.
6
The creature's neck was a metre long, more than half the length of its body.
7
It was unlike any animal living on earth.
8
Be even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting curies, unusual or curious, fossils.
9
Her father died in 1810, leaving her family in debt, so Mary began selling her fossils to collectors.
10
A year later, aged just twelve, she made her first major discovery, a crocodile-like skull with a long skeleton.
11
It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago.
12
Named ichthyosaur, or fish lizard, it was the first extinct animal known to science.
13
Sea fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous occupation.
14
One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary.
15
Despite the dangers, she continued to look for new finds.
16
The long-necked fossil she uncovered in 1823 was another long-dead sea reptile.
17
Known as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends, including that of the Loch Ness Monster.
18
Five years later, she found a fossil with wing bones and a long tail.
19
It was one of the first examples of a pterosaur, a flying creature that disappeared millions of years ago.
20
D. Mary was not only a skilled fossil hunter, she also carefully examined and recorded her finds.
21
However, she received little credit from other scientists.
22
Only one of her scientific writings was published in her lifetime, in 1839.
23
She was also not allowed to join London's Geological Society, as only men could become members.
24
E. Mary Anning died in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten.
25
Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris.
26
The beach near her home is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast.
27
Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders.
28
According to Britain's Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was the greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known.
29
She was also a scientist who changed the way we think about life on Earth.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
