[00:28.94]Noah's Ark
[00:30.74]Do you know the story of Noah's ark
[00:33.77]Noah lived a long, long time ago
[00:37.26]He was a good ma
[00:39.06]God told Noah to build an ark and to gather his family and two of every animal( one female2 and one male ) into the ark because it was going to rain and the world was going to be destroyed.
[00:55.30]So Noah gathered two of every animal including snakes, elephants, giraffes, cows and even skunk3

[01:10.24]After the rain stopped, the water dried u

[01:44.40]Exercise 1
[01:46.34]Direction: Listen to the dialog4 and choose the best answer for each item5.
[01:53.83]Fear of Spiders
[01:55.99]W: Why do you think people are afraid of tarantulas?
[01:59.59]M: Well, I guess it's because people are afraid of all spiders, and tarantulas happen to the biggest of all the spider
[02:07.76]And maybe it's also because some spiders really are very poisonou
[02:12.62]In California6 for example---living in most of the garages in California---you get black widow7 spider
[02:20.40]which are quite small but they are certainly more dangerous than tarantulas.
[02:25.66]W: But personally you aren't afraid of tarantulas?
[02:29.15]M: Well I shouldn't be frightened of tarantulas, simply because I know that they aren't really dangerous---all they can do is to give you a small bit
[02:38.83]but it's not poisonou
[02:41.21]And yet I must say I don't like to pick them up
[02:44.88]But you see, some people keep pet mice and pet rabbits and wel
[02:50.75]they can give you a much worse bite than a tarantula ever coul
[02:54.56]And yet people aren't frightened of them.
[02:57.52]W: Why do you think people are frightened of spiders?
[03:00.65]M: I don't know---it's very strang
[03:03.82]People are frightened of spiders and they are frightened of snake
[03:07.74]and, well obviously8 some spiders and some snakes really are poisonou
[03:13.93]But most snakes are harmless9, and it's really strange that people are so frightened of spiders because it's quite difficult to find a spider that's really dangerous.
