1Atlantis｜短故事＋5个词＋一般过去时＋小练习
Listening Text
P1: Many people have heard the story of Atlantis, a rich island city. People say it was lost under the sea long ago.
P2: More than two thousand years ago, a Greek writer named Plato wrote about Atlantis. In his story, the people were very rich. They built a beautiful city with great buildings. But later, they became greedy and wanted more and more. Then the gods became angry. Earthquakes and huge waves hit the island. Finally, the city sank into the ocean.
P3: Today, some explorers still look for Atlantis. One explorer even reported finding remains under the sea. But later, other scientists said those shapes were natural, not made by people. Some writers think Atlantis could be in a different place, like North Africa. So, is Atlantis real? We do not have strong evidence yet. Maybe it is a true story, or maybe it is a lesson about greed. The mystery is still with us.
