Unit 5 Are the Secrets in the Sand

In 1823 a young woman noticed a strange fossil on a beach near Lyme Regis, England.

She dug out the bones and had them carried to her home.

She carefully arranged the skeleton on a table.

Then she saw something extraordinary.

The creature's neck was a metre long, more than half the length of its body.

It was unlike any animal living on earth.

Be even at a young age, Mary Anning had a talent for spotting curies, unusual or curious, fossils.

Her father died in 1810, leaving her family in debt, so Mary began selling her fossils to collectors.

A year later, aged just twelve, she made her first major discovery, a crocodile-like skull with a long skeleton.

It turned out to be a sea creature that lived long ago.

Named ichthyosaur, or fish lizard, it was the first extinct animal known to science.

Sea fossil hunting brought in money, but it was a dangerous occupation.

One day, a rock fall killed her dog and almost buried Mary.

Despite the dangers, she continued to look for new finds.

The long-necked fossil she uncovered in 1823 was another long-dead sea reptile.

Known as a plesiosaur, it would inspire legends, including that of the Loch Ness Monster.

Five years later, she found a fossil with wing bones and a long tail.

It was one of the first examples of a pterosaur, a flying creature that disappeared millions of years ago.

D. Mary was not only a skilled fossil hunter, she also carefully examined and recorded her finds.

However, she received little credit from other scientists.

Only one of her scientific writings was published in her lifetime, in 1839.

She was also not allowed to join London's Geological Society, as only men could become members.

E. Mary Anning died in 1847, but her contributions have not been forgotten.

Her finds are now displayed in museums in London and Paris.

The beach near her home is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast.

Her life continues to inspire visitors hoping to find their own fossil wonders.

According to Britain's Natural History Museum, Mary Anning was the greatest fossil hunter the world has ever known.

She was also a scientist who changed the way we think about life on Earth.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
