Lesson56 Faster than sound!  1.20

Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them ! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

练习感悟：周末两天都没有读英语，完全没有自己的时间。想想以前自己一个人带孩子，把孩子从出生带到两岁半上幼儿园，每天都是围绕着孩子，可怜的很，知道了抑郁是怎么来的，没有休息，一个人焦躁，苦闷，没有社交，没有自我，真心熬着熬着，时间不是白白浪费的，经过了煎熬的岁月更知道自己想要什么，下一步要做什么。
