Lesson91 Three men in a basket
A pilot noticed a balloon which seemed to be making for a Royal Air Force Station nearby. He informed the station at once, but no one there was able to explain the mystery. The officer in the control tower was very angry when he heard the news, because balloons can be a great danger to aircraft. He said that someone might be spying on the station and the pilot was ordered to keep track of the strange object. The pilot managed to circle the balloon for some time. He could make out three men in a basket under it and one of them was holding a pair of binoculars. When the balloon was over the station, the pilot saw one of the men taking photographs. Soon afterwards, the balloon began to descend and it landed near an airfield. The police were called in, but they could not arrest anyone, for the basket contained two Members of Parliament and the Commanding Officer of the station! As the Commanding Officer explained later, one half of the station did not know what the other half was doing!

练习感悟:
今天学完英语,做完自测才算真的知道自己的训练强度有多大。学习应该给人心里十分明白自己在干什么且知道自己对知识的掌握程度的体验,一种对知识点很清楚、有理有条地进行更多工作的体验。学习一定不能停在浅度的表层上,学到的知识应该能做到学到了就能转化成自己的东西。
一句话,就是干。
