Lesson 23-1 One man’s meat is another man’s poison
People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great delicacy. You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat -- the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.
No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail. Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with food. My friend, Robert, lives in a country where snails are despised. As his flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him.

练习感悟：
1. 如果有一个单词跟我平时惯常的读法不一样，我的整篇文章就别想顺利的一遍读下来，脑袋里面会一直想着这个不同的读法，直到接受它。纯粹记录，我在读的时候，我到底在想什么；
2. 春节期间都是一两遍过，没有好好的多听几遍文章，真的是遗憾。
3. associate snails连读，要注意；
4. octopus读法跟平常不一样
5. you would consider中 you would弱读，consider升调。
