L50-1: New Year resolutions
ɛl50-1: njuː jɪə ˌrɛzəˈluːʃənz
The New Year is a time for resolutions. Mentally, at least, most of us could compile formidable lists of 'dos' and 'don'ts'. The same old favorites recur year in year out with monotonous regularity. We resolve to get up earlier each morning, eat less, find more time to play with the children, do a thousand and one jobs about the house, be nice to people we don't' like, drive carefully, and take the dog for a walk every day. Past experience has taught us that certain accomplishments are beyond attainment. If we remain inveterate smokers, it is only because we have so often experienced the frustration that results from failure.Most of us fail in our efforts at self-improvement because our schemes are too ambitious and we never have time to carry them out. We also make the fundamental error of announcing our resolutions to everybody so that we look even more foolish when we slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these pitfalls, this year I attempted to keep my resolutions to myself.

任务配置：L0、L3、L4
知识笔记：
今日音标
/f/：下唇轻触上齿，气流由唇齿间的缝隙中通过，引起摩擦；发音时，声带不振动；这个音标发音的关键在于上齿要咬住下唇，否则发出的声音一定是不准确的。
/v/:下唇轻触上齿，气流由唇齿间的缝隙中通过，引起摩擦；发音时，声带振动；这个音标发音的关键在于上齿要咬住下唇，否则发出的声音一定是不准确的。
练习感悟：今天早起完成练习，练完还有些意犹未尽，还是按计划结束了。
