标题:Drugs, Scams and Sin: Myanmar’s War Has Made It the Global Crime Capital

正文：The flower fields stretch out from the mountain village along most every road — fluttering patchworks of white and pink and purple. The beauty in this corner of Shan State, in northeastern Myanmar, might seem a respite from the country’s brutal civil war. Instead the blooms are a symptom: It is all opium poppy in these fields, and Myanmar again ranks as the world’s biggest exporter of the raw material to make heroin and other opiates.

知识点：stretch v.

Something that stretches over an area or distance covers or exists in the whole of that area or distance. 延伸

The procession stretched for several miles. 游行队伍延伸了数英里。
