L3-(1): An unknown goddess
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 15th century B. C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of 15 statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.

練習感悟:
civilization習慣念成ci-vi-lai-zation稽亏,改了很久戴已,看了音標,仔細聽原文,發(fā)現(xiàn)zation重讀记罚,這樣就明白為什么要讀成倒e了。
發(fā)現(xiàn)自己太早起床朗讀纸颜,舌頭真的會變硬绍绘,好神奇,可能得多喝點熱水褐耳,O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
