1
While dinosaurs walked the Earth,
2
sea monsters called ichthyosaurs ruled the world's oceans.
3
Icthyosaurs were ancient reptiles.
4
They first appeared about 251 million years ago,
5
during the Triassic period, about 20 million years before dinosaurs came about.
6
True to their name, which means fish lizards in Greek, the earliest ichthyosaurs looked much like lizards with fins.
7
Over a period of 100 million years, their bodies changed and they developed fish-like tails.
8
They had long, narrow skulls and jaws with sharp teeth.
9
These teeth were used to catch and eat animals like fish and squid.
10
Their eyes were the largest ever recorded of any animal.
11
In fact, one species, Temnodontosaurus, had eyes that were over 10 inches wide.
12
Large eyes helped ichthyosaurs see through the dark waters of the deep ocean.
13
Icthyosaurs were different sizes.
14
Some were only around 60 centimeters long, but the longest were about 26 meters long.
15
Icthyosaurs had paddle-like fins and a large tail,
16
which helped them swim at speeds of around 35 kilometers per hour.
17
Altogether, these qualities put ichthyosaurs at the top of the food chain.
18
By the late Cretaceous period,
19
about 25 million years before an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, ichthyosaurs became extinct.
20
Some scientists believe it may have been a result of climate change.
21
But the exact reason why these early sea monsters died out is still a mystery.

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。
