练习材料：

The adolescent, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he has been unfair or unjust. What the child cannot forgive is the parents' refusal to admit these charges if the child knows them to be true.

Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too cowed to let them know how they really felt. Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.

任务配置：L0+L1+L4

知识笔记：

1.朗读（L0）：

*sincerity n.诚挚

*victorian adj.维多利亚式的

*retreat v.后退

*authoritarian adj.专制的

*cow v.吓唬

2.音标（L1）：

*/ɜ/:

were,worry,certain,learn,person,birth,Thursday,church

*发音技巧：本音标符号是/ʌr/的缩写，类似汉语拼音“er”或汉字“尔”的汉语发音。这是个卷舌音。发/ʌ/的音，同时将舌头向后卷起，振动声带。

练习感悟：

1.没想到/ɜ/这个音居然是/ʌr/的缩写，这么说的话，我觉得怎么发/ɜ/这个音的问题的答案就变得更加明确了。/ʌ/这个音有点类似“饿”的音，声音稍微短促一点，之前听过讲/ʌ/的那集视频。这样我就不会随便发/ɜ/这个音了。之前我碰到单词里有r，直接卷舌，没想到还有/ʌ/在里面。感觉自己的发音有一点点变化了，稍微和音频里的有些想像了。(๑°3°๑)继续......
