Most people have heard the story of the lost city of Atlantis. But is any part of the story t    1    ?

Over two thousand years ago, the Greek writer Plato wrote about Atlantis, an island in the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋). The island’s people were very rich. They b    2     a big city with many great buildings. But the people became greedy (贪婪的)—they had many things, but they still wanted m    3    . So the gods became angry. Earthquakes and large waves began to hit the island. Finally, Atlantis went down i    4     the sea.

Many explorers (探险家) have l    5     for Atlantis. In 2004, explorer Robert Sarmast reported finding the remains of a city under the sea near Cyprus. However, Sarmast and other scientists later realized the structures he found under the sea were n    6     man-made. Mark Adams, writer of the 2016 book Meet Me in Atlantis, b    7       the city was in Morocco. Plato wrote about red and black stone circles around the city. Adams found s    8       red and black stones in the desert there, very near the Atlantic Ocean.

Most people, however, think Atlantis is simply a story. The p    9     of the story may be to teach people not to be greedy. Richard Ellis also wrote a book about Atlantis in 1999. He says “there is not a piece of solid evidence (证据) for a real Atlantis.”

So was the island real or not? We o    10     know one thing: The mystery (谜) of Atlantis will be with us for a long time.
