Beyond the Moon
People have looked into the heavens at the Moon and stars for many years.
They have wondred what it would be like out there, and how or if they could ever get there.
As time went by scientists learned more about space and created rockets they needed to travel in space.
Going to the Moon finally came true.
Now people are dreaming about going beyond the Moon and even of making their homes far out in space.
短文だからか、ほんの少しながらも聞き取れるようになったかなぁって感じ。
travel in → travelingに、rocketsが単数に聞こえるのが力不足を感じます。
日曜日からListeningを始めたが、今日から少しずつながらも英語が耳に入ってくるような感じを受けました。
まだまだ道のりは長いと思うが、「英語をぺらぺらしゃべりたい」という気持ちをずっと忘れずに勉強していくつもりです。
Adventures in space
Perhaps someday you will travel beyond the Earth
deep into the mystery of space.
There are new planets to explore far out there.
What will they be like?
They may be hot, unfriendly worlds, they may be cold,
silent yet beautiful places.
What weird and beatiful things will you see?
What new adventures wait for you out there in space?

To think of a plan
Do you remember the third little pig who outwitted the wolf?
Remember how Hensel and Gretel tricked the mean witch,
and how Jack got away from the giant by cutting down the beanstalk?
In all these stories, the heroes are in grave danger.
And in all of them, heroes think of clever plans.
They use their wits to escape.
Soon you will meet some characters who use their heads.
It's a good thing they do, for each one is caught in the arms of danger.
Thinking of a plan is the only way out.

The Lost Treasure of Montezuma
In some spot in the United States or Mexico over ten
million dollars' worth of gold and jewels are buried.
The treasure has been hidden for over four hundred
fifty years.
Here's how it happened.
The treasure belonged to the Aztecs' of Mexico..
Montezuma was their king..
In 1520, Montezuma was warned that spanish soldiers
were heading toward his capital city(Now called
Mexico City).
Montezuma had been friendly to the spaniards when they first came.
However, the spaniards had started a war in order to
take the Aztecs' riches and Montezuma no longer
trusted them.
When Montezuma heard that spanish soldiers were
coming back, he ordered all the royal buildings stripped of gold
and jewels.
Then he gave the treasure to several Aztecs' soldiers
with orders to bury it in the north until spanidars
had gone.
Not longer after that, the spaniards captured the capital city and took Montezuma prisoner.
