Shelley的ScalersTalk第七轮新概念朗读持续训练D

练习材料：

Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.

A new play is coming to" The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it ?' ' No,' 'she answered. 'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked. ' No,' she answered.

'Will you be staying in England?' I asked. ' No,' she answered. In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.

Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!'

练习感悟：

在自己觉得坚持很烦的时候，可以尽量给自己创设一个舒适的学习环境，比如，清晨洒满阳光的窗台，散发淡淡清香的书桌前，温暖舒适的被子里，或者在阳光大草坪。尽量的让坚持这件事与自己喜欢的环境建立起联系，这样，每次坚持做都会心情比较愉悦。

每天的心情其实都是变化的，有时候会影响自己坚持的质量，所以设一个最低的标准，让自己在最不想做的时候，也能做完，在想做的时候，可以做的更多。不能依靠激情或者一时兴起去做事，人的常态是平和，甚至没有什么波澜，要拿自己的常态去规划要求自己，而不是以最好的状态要求自己，这样就不会焦虑。
