Lesson64 The Channel Tunnel
In l858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea-level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7, 1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent

感觉今天的课文特别难读,可能是对我来说生词有点多。随着难度加大,感觉读起来越来越吃力了,花的时间也越来越长,看到别的小伙伴读的还是很好,基础的差距更加明显了。虽然读的过程不顺利,结果也不是很满意,但是不能放弃,只有多练才能提高。
