Lesson62 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 aero planes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month 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.

练习感悟：

事情太多，连着转了一天，晚上才抽出空来朗读。去上了一上午的政治冲刺押题班，就在路上都费了一些时间，回了学校也因为路途劳累而不在学习状态，写题目静不下来，以至于得分比平时低了不少，明天调整好状态，一定不要冲动。calm down and just go ahead，I can do it.

一句话，就是干。
