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.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to 36 about the fat body of a(n) 37 I found in my ‘Vegetable Surprise’ last Thursday. It was 38 a surprise to me! A bad one, though. And even worse was that 39 when I realized only half of the white insect was left there on top of my green vegetables.
I informed the 40 of my problem and I did not expect him to 41 and tell me that insects were a good source of protein. I am a vegetarian!
In fact, I have eaten in your restaurant many times 42 and this is the first time I have been 43 . And I do not feel we should have been 44 for this meal, so I would ask you to 45 the cost. I await your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. John Smith
