练习材料： L3-(1): An unknown goddess 时长：65s
Some time ago, an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea.
An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini.
The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Houses, often three storeys high, were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.
The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B. C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.

练习感悟：这篇读的很艰难，生词很多。长音节的单词，archaeologist 怎么着都读不快，再加上后面的地名不认识，读到上一个词的时候就开始在想后面的地名怎么读，很心惊胆战。
其实还有两个单词，算是不怎么熟悉的单词，但是已经这么多生词了，记不太住，先保持原来的印象吧~
