Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes.Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other.In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.

任务配置：L0 +L4
笔记：
1.朗读(L0)
“Up tonow, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgentmessages from one garage to the other.”这句比较长，读到and后面嘴巴有点含糊了。
2.听力(L2)
也是上面这句长句，听的时候太长了有点hold不住。
3.知识点
（1）garage 汽车修理站，车库
（2）pigeon 鸽子
（3）cover the distance 走完一段距离，这里的cover是行走(一段路程) 的意思。If you cover a particular distance, you travel that distance.
（4）up to now 到目前为止
（5）spare parts 备件；配件；零件
练习感悟：
对长句的听和说有点恐惧，练习的不够，一旦超过一定长度就觉得慌了。
