[02:23.44]Perhaps,you could do it instead.

[07:29.85]about spaceships coming to Earth.
[07:32.49]The book (was/is) still very popular.

[07:39.21]On 30 October,1938,
[07:42.86]a man named Orson Welles (decided¹³/will decide)
[07:45.01]that he would make a radio programme from the book.
[07:49.16]He decided that the programme (will/would)
[07:51.72]be different from the book in one important way:
[07:55.27]the actors would talk like reporters
[07:58.22]so that the listeners¹⁴ would think
[08:01.07]that it (was/will be) a news report.
[08:03.84]In the programme,
[08:05.98]the actors said that space people from the planet² Mars
[08:09.51](will/were going to) fight a war with the people on Earth.
[08:12.98]When the listeners heard this
[08:15.54]they became very afraid.
[08:18.00]They thought that the world (would/had) end.
[08:20.87]The listeners were told that giant things like snakes
[08:24.53]were (going/coming) out of spaceships and killing¹⁵ people.
[08:27.87]They were told that guns couldn't hurt these things.
[08:32.10]Many listeners left their homes and tried to hide.
[08:35.87]Orson welles waited 40 minutes
[08:39.52]before he told the listeners that the programme
[08:42.16]was not really a news report.
[08:44.80]He (had hoped/hopes) they would guess
[08:46.79]that the programme was a joke.
[08:48.64]However,many listeners had really believed
[08:52.30]that the space people (are/were) going to kill them.
[08:54.94]They were very angry.
[08:57.39]They should have known.
[08:59.53]30 October is the day before a famous holiday

　　[09:03.37]in the United¹⁶ States.
[09:05.65]On this holiday,people play jokes on other people
[09:09.09]and try to make them afraid.

[09:14.42]3.Listen to Zhenhui and Wang Xin
[09:19.99]talking about science fiction books
[09:22.76]and answer the questions.
[09:25.11]Hi,Wang Xin!Have you read this?
[09:29.65]Oh,The War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells.Yes,I have.
[09:34.93]Zhenhui:I think it's a great book.
[09:37.67]Wang Xin:I agree!
[09:39.74]Have you read any of his other science fiction books
[09:42.37]like The First Men in the Moon?
[09:44.93]Zhenhui:I've read The Invisible Man.
[09:47.39]My father thinks that's his best book.
[09:50.55]I can't agree with your father about that.
[09:53.82]My favourite is The Time Machine.
[09:56.56]Zhenhui:What's it about?
[09:58.52]WangXin:A scientist builds a time machine
[10:02.15]and travels to the future.
[10:04.11]He discovers lots of really interesting things.
[10:07.63]Hey,maybe you could try to invent a time machine!
[10:11.16]Zhenhui:No,I don't think so.
[10:13.33]I'm more interested in discovering new medicines.
[10:16.80]They will be more useful.
[10:19.36]WangXin:I don't agree.
[10:21.51]With a time machine,you can travel to the future
[10:24.27]and just buy new medicines.
[10:26.42]Zhenhui:That's true.
[10:28.27]But first I need to study for my chemistry exam.
