Unit 8 Mysteries PART II LISTENING AND SPEAKING LESSON A Scary Monsters LISTENING Script Reinhold Messner is a famous mountain climber from Austria. He was the first person to climb the highest 14 mountains on Earth. For years, Messner heard stories about the Yeti, but he didn ’t believe them. Then he had a scary experience. He was alone on a hike in the Himalayas. It was early evening. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound and he saw something—maybe an animal. It moved very fast. He walked more, and then he heard the strange sound again. Nearby, he saw ... something. It walked on two legs , like a person. It had short legs, but at the same time, it was over two meters tall. It also had very long arms. And it had hair on all of its body. Messner looked at this half person, half animal. And it looked at him. And then the thing walked away —very quickly into the mountains. And it was gone. Today, there are no apes in the Himalayas, but in the past, there were. Around three hundred thousand years ago, a type of giant ape lived in the Himalayas. It was three meters (ten feet) tall and weighed more than five hundred kilograms (one thousand pounds). Some scientists think it walked on two legs, like humans. Maybe the Yeti and this ancient (very old) animal are similar. 1. stories about 关于……的故事 2. be on a hike 徒步旅行 3. walk on two legs 两条腿走路 4. be gone 消失 CONVERSATION Script A: Do you think Yetis are real?
