[00:04.41]Lesson 9             1 Dialogue
[00:10.34]Yang Pei and Jackie are going camping in the Australian bush
[00:17.48]with some other friends.
[00:20.95]YANG PEI:I'm enjoying this.Where exactly are we going?
[00:26.41]JACKIE:We're going to a really nice place down by the river.
[00:31.58]It's a good place for a camp and there's plenty of shade under the trees.
[00:38.43]YANG PEI:Be careful!Don't throw your cigarette out of the window.
[00:44.38]If you do that,you may start a fire.Put it out in the ashtray.
[00:51.54]BURT:Sorry.I wasn't thinking.
[00:55.59]YANG PEI:That's OK.
[00:58.46]But you mustn't smoke while you're walking around in the bush either.
[01:04.42]You could start a bush fire.
[01:08.08]JACKIE:Bonny,take the next dirt track on the left.
[01:13.35]That will take us down into the valley.
[01:17.11]JEFF:Look out!There's a kangaroo!
[01:21.48]BONNY:Missed it!That was lucky.It can damage your car really badly.
[01:28.56]A few minutes later
[01:32.21]JACKIE:We can stop here on the right beyond the tree.Let's make our camp here.
[01:39.76]JEFF:Will you help me fix up this sheet?Then it'll give us some shade.
[01:46.42]BONNY:Don't tie it to that old branch.Ithink it'll break.
[01:52.48]Tie it to the one on the right.
[01:56.04]YANG PEI:What a lovely place! I'm going to go across the river.
[02:01.99]JACKIE:Take care.The rocks are wet.
[02:06.07]YANG PEI:What's in that cave?
[02:09.31]BURT:You'd better not go inside.There might be snakes.

[02:27.88]THE DISCOVERY OF A USTRALIA
[02:32.14]Australia was discovered about 53,000 years ago.
[02:38.17]It is possible that the first people crossed into Australia from Asia
[02:44.83]on a great hand bridge when the water level of the oceans was lower.
[02:52.20]Once they were known as"aborigines",which means"the first people of a country",
[03:00.74]but today they are more usually known as Kooris.
[03:06.51]Kooris must be one of the oldest races on the earth.
[03:12.26]They developed a strong system of society.
[03:16.83]Their spiritual faith and their gods were very important to them,
[03:23.99]and knowledge,customs and memories were handed down by the elders of the race.
[03:30.65]Cave paintings have been found which are at least 20,000 years old
[03:36.97]and are perhaps the oldest form of art yet discovered on the earth.
[03:43.03]Kooris developed a way of life that was suitable for this hot
[03:49.09]and in many places dry country.
[03:53.25]They invented different kinds of fishing nets,
[03:57.92]also a curiously shaped piece of wood for hunting which could be thrown
[04:05.08]and which would return to the thrower if it did not strike anything.
[04:10.64]They lived by hunting animals,
[04:14.30]birds and fish,and by gathering roots,nuts and wild fruits.
[04:22.56]They became experienced at finding underground springs.
[04:27.81]As a result,the Kooris have been able to live for thousands of years in a desert
[04:36.14]land in which a foreigner would quickly starve or die from lack of water.
[04:43.22]No one knows how many Kooris lived in Arstralia,
[04:48.68]maybe between 300,000 and 3 million.
[04:54.14]Just over 200 years ago Kooris made up 100% of the population,
[05:01.22]but today they only make up a little over 1% of the population.
[05:07.98]Then foreign settlers started to arrive,
[05:12.53]bringing with them new diseases which killed many Kooris
[05:18.69]and seizing the land on which the Kooris had lived for thousands of years.
[05:25.36]Kooris do not believe in owning possessions or land
[05:31.21]and they could not understand how settlers took land as their own.
[05:37.97]Whenever the Kooris defended their rights,they were killed.
[05:43.72]Education was intended for white settlers only,
[05:49.00]and until very recently
[05:52.76]no school lessons were held in languages rather than English.
