My grandma
My grandma was a short woman with grey hair. She was always cheerful. She was a very good cook. Her dishes were probably the best in the world! I will never forget the taste, and the smell as well. Grandma took care of my family. She was really kind and patient. She died two years ago and I miss her very much.

Mother's Day
Mums do a lot of hard work. They cook and clean for us.
They also encourage us and give us support.
Mother’s Day is the time for us to say “Thank you”to our mums.
In most countries, people celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May every year.
On this day, people like to buy flowers and make special Mother’s Day cards for their mums.
Mother’s Day is not only about gifts.
We can help our mums do the housework.
We can take them to the park or the cimema.
Sometimes a simple hug or saying “I love you, Mum”is the perfect gift for our mums. Mother’s Day is about love. If you love your mum, why not plan a special Mother’s Day for her?
母亲们做着许多辛苦的工作。她们为我们做饭和搞卫生。她们还鼓励给我们支持。母亲节正是我们向妈妈说声“谢谢您”的时机。在大多数国家，人们在每年五月份的第二个星期日庆祝母亲节。
在这一天，人们喜欢为他们的母亲买鲜花、制作特别的母亲节贺卡。母亲节不仅仅跟礼物有关。我们可以帮助我们的妈妈做家务。我们可以带她们去公园或去电影院。有的时候，一个简单的拥抱或说句“我爱你，妈妈”就是送给我们母亲的最完美的礼物。
母亲节是关于爱的节日。如果你爱你的妈妈，为什么不为她计划一个特别的母亲节呢？
Unit 2 Travelling around the world

France is calling
France is in Western Europe. It is a country with many beautiful places.
Paris is the capital of France. Here you will find many famous places of interest such as the Eiffel Tower. You can go to the Louvre Museum if you like art. The most famous street in Paris is the Champs-Elysees. This is the place to go if you want to visit some shops and
department stores.
France is very famous for its wine. There are many vineyards in the centre of France and farmers grow grapes to make excellent French wine.
The south of France lies on the coast, and it is famous for its wonderful beaches. A French tower by the sea is the perfect place for a summer holiday, but if you prefer to visit France in winter, you can try skiing on the mountains in the French Alps.
France has something for everyone, so why not visit France this year?
法国在召唤
法国在西欧。它是一个拥有许多美丽地方的国家。
巴黎是法国的首都。在这你将找到许多著名的名胜古迹像埃菲尔铁塔。如果你喜欢艺术，你能去卢浮宫博物馆。在巴黎最著名的大街是香榭丽舍大街。如果你想去参观商店和百货商场的话，这就是可去的地方。
法国以它的果酒非常著名。在法国中心有许多葡萄园，农民种植葡萄，为了制作好的法国果酒。
法国南部位于海岸线上，它以它精彩的海滩著名。在海边的一个法国的塔是度暑假的完美的地方，但是如果你更喜欢在冬天参观法国的话，你可以试试在法国的阿尔卑斯山脉上滑雪。
法国有为每个人的东西，因此为什么不今年就参观法国呢？

The Leaning Tower of PisaThe Tower of Pisa is one of the most beautiful bell towers in Italy.It is not only beautiful, but also strange—it leans to one side.
Today it is known as “The Leaning Tower of Pisa”.
The building of the tower began in 1173.
It took nearly 200 years to complete.
In 1178, when the building got to third floor, it started to lean.
The builders tried to make the tower straight again when they built the upper floors, but failed.
Over the years, the tower has continued to lean further.
Experts have done a lot of studies and tried to “rescue”the tower.
In 1990, it was closed to the public for safety reasons.
After a lot of effort, it reopened in 2001. Hopefully it will be safe for at least the next 300 years.

“Good evening, sir,”said the receptionist.
You’re welcome to stay, but I’m sorry that we don’t allow pets here.”
“Charlie isn’t a pet,”said John. “He’s my eyes. I’m blind and I can’t go anywhere by myself .”

John was very tired. He soon fell asleep. Some time later, Charlie started barking.
John woke up and smelt smoke. A fire! Smoke started to come in from under the door.
With Charlie’s help, John put some wet towels along the bottom of the door.

Trees in our daily lives
Rebecca wants to know more about trees and how they help us. She is interviewing Dr Jones about trees.
Rebecca：How do trees help us, Dr Jones?
Dr Jones：They help us in many ways. They keep the air cool and clean. They take in harmful gases from the air and produce oxygen for us to breathe. They’re major fighters against air pollution.
Rebecca：I know trees also make our lives more convenient. Many of the things in our daily lives come from trees. For example, paper and pencils.
Dr Jones：You’re right, Rebecca. In fact, we get a lot more from trees. We get fruit and oil from them.
Tea also comes from the leaves of trees. Look around this room. A lot of the furniture is made of wood. Trees are really important in our daily lives.
Rebecca：I can’t imagine a world without trees.
Dr Jones：But we cut down millions of trees every year. We should stop doing this if we don’t want a world without trees.

Unit 5 Water talks
Dora was in the bathroom. The tap was on.
“Turn that tap off,”said an angry voice. “You’re wasting water.”
Dora looked around, but there was no one there.
“Who are you?”
“I’m a drop of water. Do you know where I come from?”
“From the tap?”asked Dora.
“A few days ago, I was in a cloud,”said the drop of water. “Then I dropped into a river and ran into a reservoir. Then it was time for people to clean me.”
“Clean you?”Dora asked.
“Yes. I was dirty. They cleaned me and added some chemicals to me. Then I travelled through the pipes under the streets and now I’m here.”
Dora asked, “So is this the end of your journey?”
“No. People will make me clean again. I’ll go into a river and then into the sea again.”
“Again?”
“Yes. My journey starts there. Remember not to waste or pollute me. I’m valuable.”Dora turned the tap off and came out of the bathroom.
水讲话
朵拉在浴室里。水龙头打开着。
“关掉水龙头，”一个生气的声音说。“你在浪费水。”
朵拉环顾四周，但是没有一个人在那里。
“你是谁”
“我是一滴水。你知道我来自哪里吗？”
“来自水龙头？“朵拉问。
“几天前，我在一朵云彩里，”这滴水说。“然后我掉进河里，流进一个水库。然后到了人们清洁我的时候了。”
“清洁你？”朵拉问。
“是的。我是脏的。他们清洁我，并且给我添加一些化学物质。
然后我通过街道下面的管子旅行，现在我在这里。
朵拉问，“因此这是你旅行的终点了？”
“不。人们将再次使我干净。我将流进一条河里，然后再次进入大海。”
“再次？”
“是的。我的旅行在那里开始。记得不要浪费或污染我。我是宝贵的。”
朵拉关掉水龙头，出了浴室。

Electricity all around
One evening, Daisy said, “I’m going to buy a packet of sweets. Does anyone want anything?”
Benny, Daisy’s brother replied, “Can you get me a packet of electricity?”
“Yes, I can,”said Daisy. Then she went out.
Benny laughed, “She can’t buy electricity in packets like sweets! She’ll look foolish.”
Mum said, “You mustn’t say that, Benny!”
“What do you know about electricity, Benny?”Dad asked.
“Electricity gives us power. It flows through wires. It’s like water, in a way,”said Benny.
“You’re right! Electricity comes into our flat through thin wires. These are connected to cables under the street,”Dad added.
“What are the cables connected to?”asked Benny.
“They’re connected to a power station,”answered Dad.
A moment later, Daisy came back.
“May I have my packet of electricity?”Benny asked.
“Here you are!”said Daisy.
“But...these are batteries!”said Benny.
“Daisy’s right,”said Dad. “The chemicals inside batteries produce electricity.”
Mum said, “Who looks foolish now, Benny?”
周围的所有电
一天晚上，黛西说，“我打算去买一袋糖。有人想要任何东西吗？”
本尼，黛西的哥哥回答，“你能给我买一袋电吗？”
“是的，我能，“黛西说。然后她出去了。
本尼笑了，“她不能像糖果一样用袋的形式买电！她会看起来愚蠢的。”
妈妈说，“你不要说哪个，本尼！”
“关于电你知道什么，本尼？爸爸问。”
“电给我们能量。它通过电线流动。它像水，在某种程度上，”本尼说。
“你是对的！电通过细电线来到我们公寓。”
这些与街道下面的电缆相连接，“爸爸补充道。
电缆与什么相连接呢？“本尼问。
“它们与一个发电站相连接，”爸爸回答。
一会后，黛西回来了。
“我可以拿我那袋电吗？”本尼问。
“给你!”黛西说。
“但是…这些是电池！”本尼说。
“黛西是对的，”爸爸说。“电池里的化学物质生产电。”
妈妈说，“谁现在看起来愚蠢的，本尼？”

Unit 8 My lifetime hobby—studying stars
By Patrick Moore
When I was eight, I got a book about stars. That was the beginning of lifetime hobby.
I used to go outside with my mum on clear nights and look velvet with a million diamonds on it. In different seasons, we saw different groups of stars. Sometimes we saw stars shooting brightly across the sky. How beautiful they were!
Studying the stars was great fun for me. Once I learnt a little about them, I soon wanted to find out more and more. Now it is my career. I host a TV programme called The Sky at Night. I use my knowledge to tell people about the stars in a lively way. I am proud of my TV programme---it has lasted for more than 50 years!
Actually, you can turn your hobby into your career too. Anybody can achieve their dreams. You just have to enjoy what you do!
我一生的爱好—研究星星
-----帕特克.摩尔
当我8岁的时候，我得到一本关于星星的书，那是我一生爱好的开始。
我曾经在晴朗的夜晚和妈妈外出，看上面有着一百万颗钻石的天鹅绒。在不同的季节，我们看了不同组别的星星，有时我们看见星星明亮地射过天空，他们是多漂亮呀！
研究星星对我来说太好玩了。曾经我学会了关于它们的一点，我不就想要找到越来越多的。现在它是我的职业。我主持了一个叫‘夜晚星空’的电视节目，我使用我的知识用一种活泼的方法去告诉人们关于星星。我以我的电视节目自豪—它已经持续50多年了。
事实上，你也可以把你的爱好转化成你的事业。任何人都可以实现他们的梦想，但你必须喜欢你所做的事！

Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it. 我们的勇气并不是与生俱来的，我们的恐惧也不是。也许有些恐惧来自你的亲身经历，别人告诉你的故事，或你在报纸上读到的东西。有些恐惧可以理解，例如在凌晨两点独自走在城里不安全的地段。但是一旦你学会避免那种情况，你就不必生活在恐惧之中。 Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.
1.p6 UNIT 1 3a:In ten years,I think I"ll be a reporter.I"ll live inShanghai, 十年后，我想我会成为一名记者。我将住在上海因为去年我去了上海，立即爱上了这座城市。上海真的是座优美的城市。作为一名记者，我想我会遇到很多有趣的人。我想我会和自己最好的朋友住在一套公寓里，因为我不愿意独居。我会养宠物，因为我妈妈讨厌宠物，况且公寓太小；所以我现在一个宠物也没有。十年后，我会拥有许多不同的宠物。我可能甚至养一只鹦鹉！我也许每天去溜冰和游泳。工作日里，我每天打扮精干或许会着一身西装。逢到周末，我穿得更休闲些。我想我会去香港度假，甚至有一天我会去澳大利亚游览。 1.p8 UNIT 1 3a:Do you think you will have your own robot? 你认为你将会有属于自己的机器人么？ 在一些科幻电影里，未来的人们都拥有自己的机器人。这些机器人就像人类一样。他们帮助人们做家务和大多数令人感到厌烦的工作。 一些科学家相信将来会有这样的机器人。然而他们赞同者也需要花几百年的时间才能成为现实。科学家们正在试图研制看似人类且能和我们作相同工作的机器人。一些日本的公司已经制造出能走路和跳舞的机器人。这种机器人看起来非常有趣。 但是研究机器人的科学家詹姆斯怀特并不认同这类观点。他认为要让机器人向人类一样做事情是非常困难的。比如说，对一个孩子来说要醒来并知道自己身处何处是很简单的。怀特认为机器人不能做到这一点。但是其他的科学家并不赞成。他们认为在未来的25到30年间，机器人就能和人类谈话。 研究机器人的科学家们不只是在试图让机器人外观接近人类。比如说，现在已经有能在工厂工作的机器人了。这些机器人看起来就像巨大的胳膊。他们能一边又一遍重复简单的工作。人类不喜欢做这类工作而且容易对此感到厌烦。但机器人永远不会厌倦。 在未来，将到处都有更多的机器人，而人类要做的工作就更少了。新的机器人会有很多不同的形状。一些看起来像人类，其他的可能像蛇。在发生地震后，一种蛇形机器人能够帮助寻找建筑下埋着的人。这在现在看来还不可实现，但在一百年之前，电脑，太空火箭甚至电动牙刷也被视作不可能的存在的。我们永远都不能了解未来会发生什么！ 2. p14 UNIT 2 3a: Dear Mary, I have a problem, and I need your help. 亲爱的玛丽： 我有一个问题，我需要你的帮助。我经常以为我在学校里十分受欢迎。但是我才发现我的朋友们在为我的一位最要好的朋友准备生日派对，可是他们没有邀请我，除了我，我们班的其他人都受到了邀请。我不知道为什么。我并不知道我哪里做错了。我感到很沮丧却也不知道应该去做什么。你是怎么想的？你能帮我吗？ 您孤单的孩子
1 Dogs People often say that a dog is man's best friend. Over thousands of years, man has taught his dogs to do many kinds of work besides guarding the home. For example, sheepdogs are famous for their ability to control a flock of hundreds of sheep. Dogs have been used to aid disabled people for centuries. A guide dog can lead its blind owner. Nowadays, dogs can be taught to turn on light switches, open refrigerator doors and dial the telephone for their disabled owners.

Unit1 How can we become good learners? A_3a 阅读关于魏芬的短文,然后回答问题。 question: 1。为什么魏芬感觉学习英语很难?2。她在英语课上是怎么做的？3。语言学习的秘诀是什么? 我是如何学会学习英语的 去年,我不喜欢我的英语课。每一节课就像是一场噩梦。老师说话太快，以致大多数不理解。我害怕问问题,因为我的发音非常糟糕。所以我就躲在课本后面,从不说什么话。 然后有一天我看了一个名为《玩具总动员》英语电影。我爱上了这个令人兴奋的，有趣的电影! 然后我开始看其他的英语电影。虽然我无法理解电影角色所说的每一句话,但他们的肢体语言以及脸上的表情帮我了解了台词的含义。我也意识到我可以只听关键词，就可以了解台词的含义。通过听英语电影的有趣的谈话，我的发音水平也提高了。我发现，听一些你感兴趣的内容是学习语言的秘诀。我也学会了一些有用的习语，如“小菜一碟”或“你活该。”起初我并不理解这些句子的意思。但因为我想看懂这个故事,所以我在字典中查找了这个词汇。 现在我非常喜欢我的英语课。我想学习新单词和更多的语法， 那么，我就可以更好地理解英语电影。 B_2b 怎么成为一个成功的学习者呢? 每个人都天生有学习的能力。但是你是否能做到这一点取决于你的学习习惯。研究表明,成功的学习者有一些共同的好习惯。 对所学的东西产生兴趣 研究表明,如果你对某事感兴趣,你的大脑将更为活跃,也更容易长时间地保持注意力。好的学习者经常把他们需要学习的东西同他们感兴趣的东西联系起来。例如,如果他们需要学习英语，同时他们还喜欢音乐或体育,那么他们就可以听英语歌曲或看英语体育项目。这样他们就不会感到无聊。 练习以及从错误中学习 好的学习者会考虑哪些是他们所擅长的，哪些是他们需要更多练习的。记住,“要么经常使用,要么就会荒废了”!即使你把某样东西学得很好，除非你经常使用它，不然你就会忘记。 熟能生巧。好的学习者将保持练习他们已经学会的东西和他们不害怕犯错误。亚历山大?格雷厄姆?贝尔并不是在一夜之间发明电话的。经过很多次尝试,从错误中学习，他才成功了。 开发学习技巧 只努力学习是不够的。你必须知道如何学习。好的学习者找到了最好的学习方法。例如,通过写下关键字或画思维导图，从而做好笔记。好的学习者还寻找其它方法，来复习他们所学到的知识。为此,他们可能 每天阅读笔记或向另一个学生阐述所学的知识。 问问题 好的学习者经常在课上或课后问问题。他们甚至互相提问,试图找出答案。知识来自于质疑。学习是一个 终生的旅程,因为每天都能带来新的东西。你学习的一切变成了你的一部分,改变了你,所以请聪明地学习并好好地学习。
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity 在困境中寻找成功的希望 1．There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I cannot perfect myself without hardship. 2．Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment might present… to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers. 3．Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity. 1．逆境是一所最好的学校每一次打击、每一次损失。都蕴含着成功的萌芽。都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此促成自己的失败。因为我我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有磨练，我也不完善自我。 2．现在我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时，当我被可怕的失败击倒，在最初的阵痛过去之后，我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现——这苦涩的根本必将迎来满园芬芳！ 3．我将一直在困境中寻找成功希望。 Hold Fast to Dreams 紧紧抓住梦想 1．We all have dreams. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place. 2．At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For far too many, the dream has dissipated and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner’s edge.

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to

(Reports on Britain Under the Bombs) Night after night, in the hot summer and early fall of 1940, a deep, steady voice came over the Atlantic Ocean from England to America, telling of England's battle for survival under the waves of German bombers. This strong and steady voice, an American voice with a slight accent of North Carolina, belonged to Edward R. Murrow, head of the European staff of the Columbia Broadcasting System. "This is London," said Murrow, while the bombs fell and flames spread on the streets of the city. His voice had a tone of sorrow for the suffering of that ancient city, and a tone of confidence, too -- a feeling of belief that London would be there, no matter what it had to endure. It could not be destroyed. The heavy raids began in the middle of August, and Nazi bombs started to fall along England's Channel Coast. The German bombers cast dark shadows over the white cliffs of Dover, and England's Home Guard prepared to fight on the beaches, on the cliffs, and in the hills, until the last Englishman died or the invaders were driven off. Air Marshal Goering's bomber pilots were sure of their ultimate triumph over England. Hitler and Goering believed that when London became a burned city like Warsaw and Rotterdam, England would surrender. But the English were more fortunate than the Poles in Warsaw and the Dutch in Rotterdam. They had the English Channel as a barrier against the Nazi ground forces, and they had the Royal Air Force(RAF) to battle the Nazis in the sky. The hardships of London really started in the first week of September, when Hitler was at last convinced that the English did not intend to give in. On September 7, 1940, nearly four hundred German bombers hammered the city with bombs in broad daylight. Marshal Goering boasted, "This is the historic hour when our air force for the first time delivered its bombs right into the enemy's heart." Fires burned, houses fell, gas pipes burst, and dark smoke rose from the streets. Men, women, and children felt the effect of the bombs. Radar sirens wailed, ambulances rushed from one place of agony to another, and fire fighters faced the flames hour after hour.
