In the north of Scotland there is a lake called Loch Ness. It is the biggest
36 in Britain. It is over thirty kilometers 37 and in some places nearly 300 meters deep . It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930. Then a road was made
38 the lake.
Holiday makers began to use the road, and this was when the
39 began. Someone said that he had seen a monster(怪兽) in the lake. He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long
40 and a small head. Then someone else said he had seen
41 . Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a
42 . It
43 like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not too
44 . The newspapers printed the picture and
45 it the Loch Ness monster, or "Nessie".
Then the argument(争论) began.
46 people, however, were certain there was something living in the lake. Others said there was
47 there.
In 1961, a lot of people joined together to make a real
48 to see and photograph the monster to find
49 there was one! Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was
50 no real proof (证据).
Later underwater television cameras were used, but
51 found any real proof. However, they
52 find something interesting: a huge underwater cave. It was big enough to be
53 of a monster, but of course, this was not a proof.
In 1975, however, some American scientists
54 a search group. They used an underwater camera. It took pictures every seventy seconds. Some of the pictures seemed to show a red-brown creature. Its body was about four meters long 55 had a very ugly head on the end of a four -meter neck. Many people then began to believe in the monster. But even today we can't be certain.
