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.

练习感悟：

civilization习惯念成ci-vi-lai-zation，改了很久，看了音标，仔细听原文，发现zation重读，这样就明白为什么要读成倒e了。

发现自己太早起床朗读，舌头真的会变硬，好神奇，可能得多喝点热水，O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
