[04:37.26]1.Where did dinosaur bones come from?
[04:41.70]Read the story and match the pictures with the ideas.
[04:44.94]For hundreds of years,
[04:46.80]people have found dinosaur bones
[04:49.15]in many different parts of the world.
[04:51.32]But,until scientists did tests on them,
[04:54.06]only a few people knew
[04:56.02]where these large bones really came from.
[04:59.05]In ancient China,
[05:00.70]people thought that dinosaur bones were dragon bones(1).
[05:04.35]In parts of Europe,
[05:06.39]people thought that they were the bones of giant people and animals(2).
[05:10.44]The ancient Greeks
[05:12.40]found dinosaur bones when they dug for gold.
[05:15.64]These dinosaurs had beaks like birds.
[05:18.69]The Greeks thought that they must be griffins(3).
[05:21.54]In Vietnam,
[05:23.50]people believed that a giant water buffalo
[05:26.24]carried the sun across the sky each day.
[05:29.80]They thought that dinosaur bones
[05:31.83]were the giant water buffalo's bones(4).
[05:34.39]American Indians
[05:35.86]thought that the bones came from giant snakes.
[05:38.81]They believed that these
[05:40.56]snakes dug holes in the ground and died in them (5).
[05:44.01]3.Listen to an interview with the famous scientist,
[05:49.47]Dr Hong Yifeng,and write the correct dates in the table.

[06:04.46]Dr Hong,have you always like birds?
[06:07.93]Yes.I was born in Hangzhou in Zhejiang province in 1957.
[06:15.48]When I was a child,
[06:18.04]Hangzhou was full of birds and animals.
[06:21.20]My favourite hobby was walking in the countryside
[06:25.46]looking for new and unusual things
[06:28.70]When did you first become interested in bird fossils?
[06:32.57]I was interested in fish fossils,first.
[06:36.70]Then,in 1990,
[06:39.86]I found a large number of bird fossils
[06:43.20]and started to study them.
[06:45.26]What is your favourite fossil?
[06:47.82]Dr Hong:In 1993,
[06:50.67]I was lucky enough to see the Confuciusornis fossil.
[06:54.80]The Confuciusornis
[06:56.86]was one of the earliest birds on Earth.
[07:00.02]TV reporter:Where did you study science?
[07:02.77]I studied at Qinghua University in Beijing.
[07:06.92]Then,in 1995,I went to Europe to study.

[07:14.52]In early 2000,I returned to Beijing to work.
