Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit, I'm just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I won't keep you long. OK?

Now from where we're standing you've got a good view of the river over there. And it was because of this fast flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made

Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wells were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bank near the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the region's rivers supported more than 160 water mills and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So

So that's the history for you. If you'd like any more information, you can ask me some questions,

this site suitable for industry from a very early time.

industrial villages like this one became very rare.

or you can read further in our excellent guidebook.

Now I’m going to give you a plan of the site and I’d just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. I’ve already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course running along the bottom is Woodside Road. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the entrance. See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the ticket office. You won’t need that because you’ve got your group booking, but just pass it are the toilets, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the car park as you can see. And to the left by the entry gate is the gift shop that is where you can get copies of the guide like this one here. Now beyond the car park, all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle. The big stone building at the top is the main workshop. That’s where the firm is and where all the metal was melted and tools were cut as you will be able to see. Now in the top right hand corner, that building with bigger windows is the show room where samples of all the tools that were made through the ages were on display. In the top left corner is the grinding shop where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of that you can see the engine room and on the other is the café, which isn’t too antique you would be pleased to know though they do serve very nice old fashion teas. The lower buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the works towards the end of the eighteenth century and they are still furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary people living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the Stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display. Right. If any one wants a guided tour, then I am starting at

MIKE: Well,they basically make a record player.电唱机，唱机The main idea is to teach them about recording sound,but hopefully they'd also see that you need motion and an amplifier to make the sound heard.

SUE: OK,well it does sound interesting.Shall we go through all of those again and decide if any of them are going to be suitable?

MIKE:Right,number one.I thought this one sounded nice:there'd be lots of activity and it doesn't need too much in the way of 按照，根据equipment.

SUE: Yes,that's true,but don't you think it's a bit risky to get a group of eight-year-olds pushing each other around a classroom like that?Someone could get hurt,NO.1 don't like the sound of that one at all! MIKE:Maybe you're right.

SUE: What about number two,with the paperclips?It sound tame enough.

MIKE:Yes,a bit too tame if you ask me.I think it needs to be something a bit more netive and interesting than that,don't you?

SUE: Yes,I suppose you're right.We won't get a very good mark if the children don't actually enjoy the experiments,and I suppose we could turn them off science for good!Well,what about the next one,number three? MIKE:Now.I quite like the idea of this one.

SUE: Yes,so do I,but I seem to remember when we did it at high school we had to wait up to a fortnight before we saw any halfway decent一半 results.

MIKE:Oh,yes well,that won't be any good then.We'll only see the kids for one or two hours at the most.

41 / 45

SUE: Yes,and we have to do the experiments and write up our results within a week,so that one won't do at all.

MIKE:OK,well,what did you think of number four?

SUE: I like the idea of it,but do you think it will be a bit elementary for them? MIKE:Hmm,maybe you're right.

SUE: They might have fun but,I mean,cutting out a circle and colouring it in填色，用颜色填充?

MIKE:OK.well.what about number five?

SUE: I thought this one sounded a bit too good to be true-great equipment! MIKE:Yeah.

SUE: But don't you think it's a bit ambitious for this age group?I mean,I don't want to start off something and then have to abandon it if they just can't cope with it.I could see us ending up doing just about all of the work for them.

MIKE:I guess you're right.Oh well,maybe we could store that idea away for later. SUE: Yep,let's hope this second book has something better! test4_section4

Today we are going to look at one of my favourit fish -the shark.as

you know, sharks have a reputation for being very dangerous creatures capable of injuring or killing humans.and I'd like to talk about sharks in Australia.

Sharks are rather large fish,often growing to over ten metres.and longest

42 / 45

sharks caught in Australia have reached sixteen metres.sharks vary in weight with size and breed, of course,but the heaviest of sharks caught in Australia was a White Pointer大白鲨.that weight seven hundred ninety-five kilograms-quite a size好大个!sharks have a different structure to most fish :instead of skeleton made of bone.they have a tough elastic skeleton of cartilage.unlike bone,this firm, pliable material is rather like your nose,and allows the sharks to bend easily as it swims.the shark's skin isn't cover with scales, like other fish :instead the skin's covered with barbs, giveing it a rough texture like sandpaper砂纸.as you known,sharks are very quick swimmers游得很快.this is made possible by their fins, one set at the side and another set underneath位于身体下面 the body .and the tail also help the shark move forward quickly.unlike other fish,sharks have to keep swimming if they want to stay at a particular depth. and they rarely swim at the surface.mostly,they swim at the bottom of ocean, scavenging and pick up food that's lying on the ocean floor.while most other animals, including fish ,hunt their prey by means of their eyesight, shark hunt essentially by smell.they have very acute sense of smell敏锐的嗅觉-and can sense the presence food long before

in Australia where people spend a lot of time at the beach,the government have realised that it is must prevent sharks from swiming near it

43 / 45

they can see it.

beaches.as a result, they have introduced a beach-netting program ,beach-netting or meshingn. 啮合；建网v. 相啮合（mesh的ing形式）；使缠住；

使互相协调

involves setting large nets parallel to 与。。平行the shore, this

means that the nets on New South Wale beaches are set on one day .and then lifted and taken out the sea on the next day.when shark-netting first began in 1939, only the sydney metropolitan beaches were meshed-these beaches were chosen because beaches near the city usually the most crowed with swimmers.ten years later,in 1949 ,systematic meshing was extended to include the beaches to the south of Sydney.as a result of the general success of the program in Sydney.shark-meshings was introduced to the state of Queensland around 1970.the New Zealand authorities also looked at it ,but considered meshing unecomonical-asdid tahiti in the Pacific .at around the same time大约与此同时, South Africa introduced meshing to some of its most popular swimming beaches.when meshing began, approximately fifty hundred sharks was cought in the first year.however ,this declined the year that followed.and since that time,average annual catch has been only about one hundred fifty years.the majority of sharks are caught during warmest months.from November to Febraury.when shark are most active and when both air and the ocean are at their maximum temperature.despite quite large catches,some people believe that the shark meshing is not the best way to catch sharks.it's not they think that the sharks are afraid of nets.or because they eat holds in

44 / 45

them.because neither of these is true. But meshing does appear to be less effective than some other methods, especially when there are big seas with high rolling waves and strong currents and anything lets the sand move-the sand that's holing the nets down when this moves the nets will also become less effective.
