Thursday 3 February
We live on the edge（边缘） of a small town north of Sydney. Our house looks out across bush and a gum（橡胶树） tree forest.
We haven’t had much rain this summer, so the forest is very dry. Everyone is worried about bushfires（林区大火）.
People keep asking, “Will this be one of those years?”
I hear so much about bushfires that I’ve decided to keep my own diary over the summer.
For weeks, the forest workers were clearing firebreaks（防火障） with bulldozers（推土机）. A firebreak is a gap made in the forest to help stop fire spreading.
14
Before our town got so big, the forest workers used to burn off parts of the forest in winter so there would be gaps to stop any summer bushfire spreading. This is called a “controlled burn”.
In the last few years, people have built houses near the forest. This has made it dangerous to do any more controlled burns. （选自《新理念英语阅读》）
