Unit 5 Unsolved Mysteries
Track 2-5-2(P78)
Sherlock Holmes is probably the greatest detective ever known---
well, at least he’s one of the most famous. But he never actually
existed---- he’s an imaginary detective who appears in sixty
stories created by the Scottish author Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle.
Doyle was not always a writer. He started his career as a
doctor. Fortunately for us, he did not have many patients. He
needed money and so he started to write stories.
The first Sherlock Holmes story was published in1887, and
was called A Study in Scarlet. Later, a magazine published The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and readers loved it!
What makes Sherlock Holmes so special? Well, he was very
intelligent and successful. He always arrested the criminal---every
single time---- with the help of his partner, Dr. Watson.
In the stories, Holmes lived at 221B Baker Street in London,
Englan
d. Thousands of people visit that address every year. There’s also
a Sherlock Holmes Museum in London.
Keys: the most famous detectives ever known, imaginary
detective, sixty, Scottish author, money
Track 2-5-4(P79)
Mike: …So, we can look forward to warmer temperature. It’ll be a
good weekend for the beach. Over to you, Alexa.
Alexa: Thank you for that weather report, Mike. And finally,
this story just in. … We have a report that a local man, Nick
Brown, saw some strange lights. He was driving home at about 10
p.m. He said the lights were bright and they moved across the sky.
He stopped at a gas station and talked to a police officer about
the lights. The police officer had seen the lights, too.
M: Hmmm, … that’s strange story. What happened next?
A: Well, Mr. Brown took some pictures, but there was no film in
his camera. Finally, he called his wife on his cell phone. But by
that time, the lights were gone.
M: Well, I know that there is a legend around here about
mysterious lights … a lot of local people have seen the lights.
It’s starting to seem like those lights really exist.. What do you
think, Alexa?
A: I don’t believe it. I think it’s some kind of hoax!

It was raining heavily. I couldn’t see clearly. I drove
slowly. Suddenly, I saw a young girl. She was dressed neatly and
standing in the middle of the road. I was surprised! Somehow, I
stopped the car quickly. “What are you doing?” I asked. She looked
at me strangely but didn’t answer. “Are you OK？” I
asked. “I’m fine,” she answered. Then she smiled happily and walked
away quietly. Nervously, I drove to my hotel and checked in. I told
the clerk about the little girl. “do you know her?” I asked. “Oh
yes,” he said calmly. “That’s Mary Anne. She died five years ago on
that road. It was a car accident during a rainstorm.”

Track 2-5-9(P81)
It was early morning, June 30, 1908, in eastern Russia.
Suddenly, a terrible explosion rocked the forest in Tunguska.

kilometers were knocked down. People heard the explosion 800
kilometers away, and the fire burned for many weeks.

Track 2-5-11(P82)
B. What caused this terrible explosion? A century later,
scientists are still trying to find the answer. Here are some
possible explanations.
1. An asteroid: Asteroids are very large pieces of rock that go
around in space and sometimes hit the planet. They can cause lots
of damage. Some of them weigh as much as 100,000 tons. If an
asteroid hit the earth, it would cause a huge explosion.
2. A comet: Comets are giant balls of gas, ice, and rock with
long tails. They travel through space in a regular pattern. Encke’s
Comet was near Earth in 1908, and it’s possible that a part of it
broke off and hit the earth.
3. An UFO accident: Some people believe that a spaceship crashed
into the ground in Siberia and its engine exploded.
4. An extraterrestrials might have wanted to destroy the earth,
so they aimed their weapons at Earth and set fire to the
forest.
5. A scientific experiment: Another idea is that scientists made
a mistake during an experiment with electricity. A man named Nikola
Tesla tried to build a “supergun” that used electricity. Maybe it
was a test of his gun and it didn’t work correctly.
C. Keys: 1. lots of damage, huge explosion 2.near Earth,
