Lesson53 Hot snake
At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.

carelessly ['keələslɪ] adv. 无忧无虑地; 粗心大意地; 草率地; 淡漠地; [例句]He carelessly left the garage door unlocked. 他太粗心大意,竟然没锁车库的门。(粗心也可以说是无忧无虑地,这还真有点道理哈。)
发现对于不会的生词查了后,有时间的话再听听他例句里怎么读,就更有感觉一些。今天时间没有安排好,也可能是感冒初期,头晕,练一会儿就犯迷糊。使了洪荒之力也没有读满意。
