Lesson 43 Over the South Pole
In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R. E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.

谚语Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.以前学习的时候读到过，如今看到，倍感亲切呀。

crash
复述笔记3
years his serious mountains miles plains endless sacks rise
练习感悟：
1.crash中的R音不明显；
2. serious念久了，S的音发的明显就不好听了；本来想要一直保持刚开始的S音，结果越念到后面越不会了，看来还是掌握的不够熟练
3.photograph中第二个o是schwa
4.serious/ˈsɪriəs/美音少一个schwa
5.读的不认真！
