Lesson43 Overthe South Pole
In 1929, threeyears after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R.E.Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, atfirst, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of themountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble.At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks.The plane was then able to rise andit cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach theSouth Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.

练习感悟:现在感觉朗读一篇课文的难度不大了,就好想开始学音标但是工作日晚上除了朗读又还有其他事情要做,以至于就只能是完成基础任务,那就把音标的学习放到周末,材料已经找好了,试试看,估计音标也得刷几遍才有感觉。
