The oils joins oxygen and form heat, and air can not carry the heat away. The oily cloth become warmer and warmer. When they get hot enough. They will burst into flame .Fires may start in wet hay (草) by spontaneous combustion , wet hay will rot(烂), and rotting hay gives off heat. The heat is trapped in the bales(捆) of hay and finally makes the hay burn spontaneously.Farmers know that they must cut and store their hay during dry weather to keep it from rotting .

It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton , but now life really is worth(值得)living.Yours faithfully ,Edith Randall(Mrs)51.

A great many people are often willing to sacrifice （牺牲）higher pay for the privilege(特权)of becoming white collar workers , This can give rise to curious situations ,as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.When he got married , Alf was too embarrassed (困窘)to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for a corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a fine black suit .He then changed into overalls ( 工装裤)and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower (淋浴)and changed back into his suit .Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret . Alf，s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will , for Alf has just found another job . he will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to. But he feels that his rise in status (地位)is well worth the loss of money. From then on .he will wear a suit all day and others will call him “Mrs. Bloggs” not “Alf”56.
