Lesson94 Future champions
Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water, It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.

练习感悟:
发现最近两天的文章看着不难,但读起来很难读。今天也是用了两个多小时才读下来。有些句子的结构需要再理解,有些词以前学过时间太久忘记了,还有的是熟词生意的,需要辨析。更主要的问题是,经过最近早读的纠正音标学习,我发现以前很多已经习惯的单词读法不对或者是模糊的,需要重新纠正。以前很多读的不对不准的,其实自己是听不出来的,就过去了。现在有一些能听出来了,就会觉得别扭,会做调整。一篇文章下来需要注意的问题越来越多,也越来越难读了。今天读得有点崩溃,也是怀疑读不下来了。要坚持,不要急躁,一个个调整,比以前进步一点就好一点。
