Lesson21 Mad or not?
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

知识笔记:
aeroplanes 飞机
driving sb mad
come into use 投入使用
音标专练:[u]
发音要点:
这是个长元音,发这个音时舌身后缩,舌后部尽量向软腭抬起。这是后元音中舌位最高的一个。
牙床接近全合。
双唇收得极小而圆,用力向前突出,但不发生摩擦。
注意[u]的发音,双唇有个从放松到收紧收圆的过程,这个位置的变化和位置本身一样重要。
特别说明:英语中最常出现的一个词——“to”在重读或强调时发[tu],但在弱读时(一般是在动词不定时前,其中动词是辅音开头时)发[tə]
