练习材料：L19-1：A very dear cat 时长：1'02
Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's cat.
ˈkɪdnæpəz ɑː ˈreəli ˈɪntrɪstɪd ɪn ˈænɪməlz, bʌt ðeɪ ˈriːsntli tʊk kənˈsɪdərəbl ˈɪntrɪst ɪn Mrs. ˈɛlənɔː Ramsay's kæt.
Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years.
Mrs. ˈɛlənɔː Ramsay, ə ˈvɛri ˈwɛlθi əʊld ˈleɪdi, hæz ʃeəd ə flæt wɪð hɜː kæt, Rastus, fɔːr ə greɪt ˈmɛni jɪəz.
Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock.
Rastus liːdz ən ˈɔːdəli laɪf. hiː ˈjuːʒʊəli teɪks ə ʃɔːt wɔːk ɪn ði ˈiːvnɪŋz ænd ɪz ˈɔːlweɪz həʊm baɪ ˈsɛvn əˈklɒk.
One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very worried.
wʌn ˈiːvnɪŋ, haʊˈɛvə, hiː feɪld tuː əˈraɪv. Mrs. Ramsay gɒt ˈvɛri ˈwʌrid.
She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.
ʃiː lʊkt ˈɛvrɪweə fɔː hɪm bʌt kʊd nɒt faɪnd hɪm.
There days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter.
ðeə deɪz ˈɑːftə Rastus' ˌdɪsəˈpɪərəns, Mrs. Ramsay rɪˈsiːvd ən əˈnɒnɪməs ˈlɛtə.
The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.
ðə ˈraɪtə ˈsteɪtɪd ðæt Rastus wɒz ɪn seɪf hændz ænd wʊd biː rɪˈtɜːnd ɪˈmiːdiətli ɪf Mrs. Ramsay peɪd ə ˈrænsəm ɒv $1,000.
