Lesson53 Hot snake
At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000-volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then dropped it on to the wires. The snake then wound itself round the wires. When it did so, it sent sparks down to the ground and these immediately started a fire.

练习感悟：
今天的文章中生词多了，有个别不太好念。课文中出现了长句比较拗口，读句子比以前难了。有的句子跟读了很多遍还是不太顺。可能跟句子结构没有弄明白有关。感觉到课文难度在逐渐加大，每天都要花更多的时间去读，希望自己不要急躁，要把发音学清楚。
另外，这几天事情好多都挤在一起，很疲惫，追溯阅读已经在欠账了，在努力补。但是要保证英语的朗读不可以断，要用心做，不能应付。
