N: Review Two.
    For this lesson,
    you'll need a pencil and a piece of paper.
    In a moment,
    you're going to hear a news report given by a journalist named Kitty Forthright.
    Listen carefully,
    but don't write anything yet.
F: This is Kitty Forthright.
    Today I want to talk about why the ratings at WEFL have plummeted.
    I talked to Steven Winn,
    the producer of "Hello America,"
    a popular series at WEFL.

    He told me there have been some catastrophic mishaps at the station in the last few weeks.
    The departure of Maria Montero, a top-notch producer,
    has been another problem.
    But he said that the rumors of fighting among the staff are unfounded.
    He's sure that the staff can work together to pull out of the ratings slump.

    just the details you think are important.
    There will be a pause after each group of words for you to write.
    All right, let's begin.

STEVEN: Dear Hal,
    Thanks for your postcard.
    I'm glad you enjoyed your recent trip to Thailand.
    It sounds like a great place for a vacation.
    I agree with you that I need to take a break from WEFL.

    I agree with you

    Maybe my family and I
    can go over there soon
    for some rest and relaxation.
    In fact, I wish
    we were on those beaches right now.
    Regards, Steven
N: Now listen as you hear Steven's postcard for the last time.
    Check your paper carefully and correct any mistakes that you find.
  All right? Listen.
STEVEN: Dear Hal,
    Thanks for your postcard.
    I'm glad you enjoyed your recent trip to Thailand.

    Maybe my family and I can go over there soon for some rest and relaxation.
    In fact, I wish we were on those beaches right now.
    Regards, Steven.
N: Now use your paper to answer these true-and-false questions.
    If the answer is true,
    just say "True."
    If the answer is false,
    say” False" and give the correct answer.
    For example, you hear.. .

BOOK TWELVE, REVIEW THREE

N: Review Three.
    For this lesson,
    you'll need a pencil and a piece of paper.
    Rita is talking with Steven about solving the mystery at WEFL.
    What were the three places where the gloves turned up?
    Listen carefully for the answer.
RITA: Well, Steven,
    I'm glad it's over.
    We were all on pins and needles there for a while.
STEVEN: Yeah. My ulcer was really getting bad.
    Thank goodness for Ray Modine.
RITA: How did he get Roger to confess?
STEVEN: Actually, it was Jake who got Roger to confess.
    But Ray figured out the part about the gloves.
RITA: And it was the gloves which were the key to the case.
STEVEN: That's right.
    You know, without those gloves,
    we would never have been able to connect Roger to Thomas Ames.
RITA: Gee.
STEVEN: The key was the places where those gloves turned up.
RITA: In Thomas Ames's office,
    in the editing room where Roger was working,
    and in that interview Chris did with Terry.
STEVEN: You know, Rita,
    I thought for a while Terry was involved in the sabotage.
RITA: Yeah. We all did, I guess.
STEVEN: But in a way,
    it was Terry who finally solved the case.
    He was the one who helped Ray explain the gloves.
RITA: Detective Terry Smithers.
    Hmmm. Maybe he should start wearing a raincoat . . .
STEVEN: And driving a fast car.
RITA: No way. I love him just as he is.
N: OK. What were the three places where the gloves turned up?
M: In Thomas Ames's office,
    in the editing room,

M: In the end, everybody working together saved WEFL.
F: In the end, it was everybody working together which saved WEFL.
N: Good.. Now Chris is reporting the weather on "Hello America."
    Before you listen to Chris's report,
    here are some questions for you to keep in mind while listening.
    Take a piece of paper and a pencil and write down enough information so you can remember the question.
    Each question will be read twice with pauses for you to write.
    Ready? Here's Question One.
M: What's the temperature in Stamford today?
    What's the temperature in Stamford today?
N: Question Two.
M: What season is it?
    What season is it?
N: Question Three.

    About how many days a year do the people of Stamford need to carry an umbrella.
N: Now here's Chris.
    Listen carefully to her report and write down the important information you'll need to answer the questions.
CHRIS: Here in Stamford we're having a bright, sunny day.
    The temperature is a crisp 54  degrees Fahrenheit,
    12 degrees Celsius.
    A little cool for the last day of September.
    Actually, we're pretty lucky in Connecticut.
    In the other five New England states,
    it's much colder than here.
    In Kennebunkport, Maine,
    for example,
    the temperature today is just above freezing.
    Did you know here in Connecticut we have the mildest climate in New England?
    Well, we do.
    The temperature falls below 0 degrees Fahrenheit only about six days a year . . .
    and goes above 90 degrees Fahrenheit only on the average of 19 days a year.
    And listen to this.
    Rain falls on the average only 127 days a year.
    Not exactly California,
    I admit, but not bad for New England.
    Anyway, if you want to complain about the weather,
    think of those poor people in Kennebunkport.
    This is Chris Bloom reporting for "Hello America."
    Back to you, Jake.   
N: All right.
    Now try to answer the questions.
    Give short answers.
    Question one.   
M: What's the temperature in Stamford today?   
F: 54 degrees Fahrenheit, 12 degrees Celsius.   
N: Question Two.   
M: What season is it?

F: Connecticut, Maine, and California.   
N: Question Five.   
M: Which one is not part of New England?   
F: California.   
N: Question Six.   
M: About how many days a year is the weather unusually cold in Stamford?   
F: About six.   
N: Question Seven.

（你好美国1-12册练习文本全部整理完毕）

    祝贺孙老师今天整理完毕全部练习文本。
    我每天的作业素材，都从这里复制，很方便快捷。
    您为大家整日忙碌，无私付出，自己都没有了休息时间。
    再次谢谢孙老师！

继续检查整理文本，到第三册第六课。

第二遍整理文本，进入第三天，目前练习到第四册完成。
整理的主要位置是语音和文本间隔的对应，以及上次因误操作正句删除的部分。
昨天练习了22篇练习，注意关键点是：整理文本时，眼睛要一定看进去，进入到细腻的字母位置的微妙变化达到精细地定位。这是练习效果的关键。
上次整理是在50%速度语音进行，这次基本在100%速度，语音速度提高，眼睛定位字母速度也需要同步深化。几天内语音一般是不会忘记的，所谓的忘记实际上是当时没有看进去的原因。
眼睛看进去，还要看出来，直接到达整个句子的轮廓的全语音节奏，压码回想出来，而不是语音漂浮在表面。
一般第一遍整理文本眼睛定位到字母位置，就可以直接理解了。是否完全理解了要单独听一遍语音，进行理解记忆的检验。其中有三篇没有一遍理解，主要的感受是单独听的时候，有语音漂浮的感觉，不看文本听没有完全进入到文本的字母位置，只能再重新整理一遍看到字母，就解决了问题。
    随着一天练习数量加大，练习也越来越熟练，很多课文练习就会有100%速度太慢的感觉，主要不是全部需要分行连接分离的上次没有整理的以外，150%速度更能强化练习的理解能力。连续练习几篇高速整理文本，就会出现键位熟练，理解自然快速的效果的体验。但是一旦在操作键位跟不上语音播放速度时候，要理解降到100%速度继续进行，千万不能出现压不住码的情况下继续无效练习，当然这是强制练习整理文本的键位也可以提高操作水平，就是多练习一遍了。
  对于连续大量练习5小时以后出现疲劳现象以后，出现瞌睡是正常的，最好的处理办法就是在理解记忆不太好的练习上听语音睡一小觉。再练习就会立即重新进入状态。

看文本整理第五、六、七册36篇练习文本，文本已经替换，没有进行语音练习压码听懂检验。第一遍整理文本前面7册只按照教材书本形式整理，后面整理中逐步使得文本与语音同步，整理到目前1-12册的文本已经全部替换为统一格式文本。
看文本整理文本，与听语音整理文本不一样，不能保证文本的错误按照语音进行纠正，不能保证与语音停顿一致，但是可以保证句子完整，可以快速提高听语音整理文本的速度和质量，在不方便进行练习或者没有语音时，可以利用零碎时间提前做好压码听懂准备工作。
整理的提速技巧：
1、第一遍将文本没有对齐的文本，连续按键操作空格键，范围为除了在人名后面一行的文本，使左面文本统一操作；
2、退格操作人名后面的文本保证人名后文本之间只有一个空格，操作方式左手按退格键，右手操作鼠标。
    整理两遍即可完成文本整理，进行提交文本替换。

看文本整理的文本不能保证文本内容没有错误，特别时原来整理中可能有点黑句子误操作而丢失的句子，文本中有单词错误和语音不一致的，都需要利用语音整理文本检验修改文本的错误，同时在整理文本中进行压码看文本注音字母，达到一遍记忆精确的语音目的，再通过不看文本单独听语音检验是否已经听懂全篇练习文本。因此在整理五语音文本后，还要再重新整理一遍听语音的文本。
准备工作：将整理的无语音文本从论坛的5-7册的36篇练习文本复制到英文通软件的目录文本，已经准备完毕。
练习后再将英文通软件的目录文本复制到word文件，进行错误检验纠正错误，完全正确的整理文本，即可将整理的有语音文本复制到论坛，进行再次文本替换即可。

经过第二次修改的文本前面加入数字代码，如目前修改到5.9代表的课文是第五册第九课练习。

从老家旅游回来，继续从第五册第十课练习。
