Lesson 62 After the fire
First listen and then answer the question
What was the danger to the villages after the fire?
Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control.A short time before,great trees had covered the countryside for miles around.Now ,smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills.Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction.for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well.When the fire had at last been put out,the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly.The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes.The planes had been planting seed for nearly a mouth when it began to rain.By then ,however,in many places the grass had already taken root,In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries.patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

训练任务:L0+L1+L2+L4
训练感想:今儿任务加了点,到现在才知道自己做的任务一直都是L0+L1+L4,但是每次总结写的都是少一项。哎呀妈呀,不过庆幸自己坚持得还不错,但是也不能自我感动,戒骄戒躁,踏实前行。向脚踏实地的三年后展望,向明天完成任务看齐。
