L3-(2): An unknown goddess

The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the 15th century B. C.

Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B. C.

This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved.

It was very old and precious even then.

When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments,

they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman.

She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips.

She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground.

Despite her great age,

she was very graceful indeed,

but,

so far,

the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

应用配置：L0+L4

练习感悟：昨晚跑步时听了许久，听不出课文表达的意思，难度越来越大，需要加倍努力。这大段是第三课的第二部份内容，没有太多生词，相对比较容易。
