Lesson56 Faster than sound!
Once a year,
a race is held for old cars.
A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began.
One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.
The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels.
Built in 1885,
it was the oldest car taking part.
After a great many loud explosions,
the race began.
Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them !
A few cars,
however,
completed the race.
The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals.
It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it.
The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure.
It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

练习感悟：昨天跑了个30多公里，早上睡了个懒觉，没早期朗读，拖到下午才完成今天的课文。整篇课文生词不多，费了些时间在雕琢发音上面。
