练习材料：

The captive elephant, still roped to a tree, plunges and screams every time a man approaches, and for several days will probably refuse all food through anger and fear. Sometimes a tame elephant is tethered nearby to give the wild one confidence, and in most cases the captive gradually quietens down and begins to accept its food. The next stage is to get the elephant to the training establishment, a ticklish business which is achieved with the aid of two tame elephants roped to the captive on either side.

When several elephants are being trained at one time, it is customary for the new arrival to be placed between the stalls of two captives whose training is already well advanced. It is then left completely undisturbed with plenty of food and water so that it can absorb the atmosphere of its new home and see that nothing particularly alarming is happening to its companions.

练习感悟：

1.今天又有点读快了，看来还是没有静下心来读文章。没仔细的后果就是，文中的tethered也读错了。th本来是发浊辅音，结果我习惯性的发成了清辅音。一开始听到小伙伴帮我纠错，我回听了下，感觉没错啊。后来再一听，我居然连这个自己练习过的音标也读错了。看来是没复习和没仔细的缘故。

这里还得感谢@[00.444]Helen - 石家庄 - 软件  耳朵好真是好啊！

明天每句话跟着读，最后发出的语音不能比它短。
