【課文】

Firemen had been fighting the forest for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

消防員與森林大火搏斗了近三周，才終于將其控制住。不久之前，參天大樹還覆蓋著周圍數(shù)英里之內(nèi)的鄉(xiāng)村。如今，溫暖的地面上仍從荒涼的山丘間升起裊裊煙霧。冬天即將來臨，山丘對周邊村莊構(gòu)成了毀滅性的威脅，因為大雨不僅會沖走土壤，還會導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重的洪水。大火最終被撲滅后，林業(yè)部門訂購了幾噸一種能迅速生長的特種草籽。飛機在空中大量播撒這種草籽。飛機播種近一個月后，下起了雨。然而，到那時，許多地方的草已經(jīng)扎根。原本數(shù)世紀(jì)以來一直生長著大樹的地方，黑土之上開始出現(xiàn)一片片綠色。
