No more professor. Here are bricks if any

No more professor any more. I have always been your student.

读得很好！ 我很难找到发音的砖， 除了been： in American English, should be  /bin/, not /bi:n/

下面，word in bold should be emphasized, word with underscore should be reduced based on my listening to the original audio, not exactly sure whether I am right or not.

Lesson 62： After the fire

First listen and then answer the question

What was the danger to the villages after the fire?

Firemen had been fighting the forest fire 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.
