However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse.
7、 Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and th

Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told
9、that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart. Lesson89 A slip of the tongue 口误口误 People will do anything to see a free show-even if it is a bad one. When the news got round that a variety show would be presen

We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just be- fore the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen.

Children do not have to cross busy streets to go to school. Housewives can visit-shopping centres on foot, for in these specially designed l
15、iving areas, cars are unnecessary. At first, the government had great difficulty in persuading people to leave Rio and to settle in Brasilia. Since 1960, however, the population has been growing all the time. Brasilia has quickly established itself as the capital of the country. The idea to have the
