Unit1 WHAT HAPPEND TO THE AMBER ROOM? P6
Part A ： Hans Braun's story
Hello. I 'm Hans Bran's, an old German sailor. During the war my ship was at Konigsberg. One night I was told to help our soldiers put some big wooden boxes onto my ship. They were very heavy and the soldiers said they were full of treasure. The ship went out to sea. On our voyage, our ship was attacked and sank. Almost everyone died. I had to swim three kilometers before I was saved by a German ship. Nobody had time to save the boxes. They must still be buried in the sand. Now a group of people who are searching for the Amber Room have asked me to help them find the ship.
Part B： Anna Petrov's story
Hello, my name is Anna Petrov. I was a maid at the castle in Konigsberg between 1940 and 1945. One night in 1941 many trucks came to the castle with large boxes. The German soldiers took the boxes into the castle. Later we heard that
a special art treasure in the castle was shown to important visitors. Perhaps it was the Amber
Room but I never saw it. Then at the end of August, 1944, I heard something explode. When I looked outside I saw that the castle was on fire. The next morning I found some melted pieces of something that looked like honey. Russian soldiers later told me it was amber and it could have come from the Amber Room.

Once there was an ancient Greek soldier called Phidippides. He ran so fast that he was often sent on long journeys with important messages. One day the leaders of Athens realized that their city was going to be attacked. They sent their
army to the small town of Marathon, where they fought their enemies. It was a very long and hard battle, but at last the army from Athens won. They were very happy. However, they knew that the people of Athens would be wondering what had happened. So they asked Phidippides to go to Athens and tell them the good news.
Phidippides set off. He was very tired after all the fighting
but he ran as fast as he could. As he got near Athens he
began to slow down. His head was bursting and he could hardly breathe. As he got to the centre of the city, he fell to the ground. All the people rushed up to him. Phidippides opened
his mouth. “ Athens is saved!” he cried. Then he fell down dead. His story became so famous that it is remembered by the Marathon race of 26 miles, which is the distance from

THE STORY OF THE DODO
Once upon a time I lived on the island of Mauritius. I was
called "dodo". There were many of us and we were friends with
all the other animals on the island. One day a new animal
came to my island. His name was Man, and at first we seemed
to be good friends. We went everywhere together and I shared
my food with him. However, I began to wonder why several of my dodo friends had disappeared. The number of our species began to decrease quickly. I was so worried that I asked the other animals and they all told me, "Your friends are being killed and eaten by Man while you are hunting for food." Had Man eaten them? I couldn't believe it! When I asked Man directly, he seemed surprised. "I haven't seen the other
dodos either." he said. "Maybe someone else killed them." I believed him but when more dodos disappeared I set a trap. I went off as if I was going to hunt but instead I hid in the
forest and waited. Sure enough Man came along. He ran after the last of my dodo friends and kill her. I felt so angry
that I rushed out of my hiding place and straight at Man's spear. He killed me too. After that there were no more dodos
in the world. So my motto is： be carful who you trust.

FREDDY, THE FROG(1) P38
Freddy the frog dipped his long, thin legs into the water.
Within a few short weeks he had changed from a small tadpole
into the beautiful animal he was now. He smiled to himself.
Then suddenly he heard a fine, deep sound that carried far
into the darkness of the quiet night. Freddy looked up.
“Other frogs! I must try and find them,” he thought. “It is so hard being a grown-up frog on my own.”
He began to swim slowly towards the sound. Suddenly he
knocked into a large lily pad. On it sat three confident
frogs and they were playing instruments. Freddy climbed onto
the leaf. “Can I sing with you? He asked quietly. “Of course,” they said. He opened his mouth wide and began：
Help! I need somebody,
Help! Not just anybody.
Help! You know I need someone. Help!
