[難點講解]

1、Some people got into a total panic … 有些人陷入一片恐慌之中…

panic n./v. 注意用法與比較：

看到那兇猛的恐龍走近時，人們驚恐萬分地逃竄。

Don’t panic in time of danger. 危險時刻不要驚慌失策。

The children panicked when they realized they were lost.

當孩子們意識到迷路時驚慌萬分。

Stop panicking. 別慌！

動詞在詞尾變化時，要加k，如上面例子。但第三人稱單數不加k：

She never panics. 她從不慌亂。

偶也作v.t ，只有主動式：

The thunder panicked the horses. 響雷使馬群慌亂一片。

但Hearing the thunder, the kid panicked

was panicked. ×(無被動形式)

二、閱讀理解：

The native people of Australia are called Aborigines. Most of them live in the deserts of Australia, where they neither plant crops nor keep any animals. All the year round they wander through the deserts in search of food and water. They must depend on their own skills to track down wild animals to stay alive. It has been said that an Aborigine has the “eyes of an eagle”.

The following story shows how astonishing the Aborigines’ skill at tracking is:

A gold robbery in a small Australian town had left the police puzzled. They called on an old Aborigine tracker for help. The tracker found a set of bootprints in the dusty street, and said he thought they were the track of the thief. Before the tracker could follow the prints very far, however, a rainstorm broke and washed the tracks away. Sometime after that, the Aborigine was in another town, and his sharp eyes picked out the same bootprints he had seen days before. The police could hardly believe his story, but they went with him as he followed the tracks through the dirty streets and past the outskirts of the town. After about half an hour’s walk, the tracker stopped near a wooden house and simply pointed. And sure enough, the wanted man was hiding inside.
