Lesson56 Faster than sound!

Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them ! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

知识笔记：

词组：a great deal of 修饰不可数名词，意为许多的；

新词：excitement 激动，兴奋；explosion 爆炸；course 路线；rival 竞争对手；sped 加速（speed的过去分词）downhill 向山下；pleasure 高兴，满足

如何正确的发出/m/这个音。

1）这个音发音很简音，首先双唇闭拢，舌头自然放平，软颚下垂。

2）气流从鼻腔泻出，同时振动声带。

注意：/m/是个鼻音、浊辅音，发音时一定是闭拢双唇。发音时会感觉到嘴唇也会一起振动。

相关单词：most，many，more，complete，mile，modern

今天终于认认真真地做了一回事情。除了感觉复述有点力不从心就暂时没做之外，其他的内容都已经完成。还有就是公众号可能会陷入一个比较——奇怪的增长瓶颈？不知道。
