The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

我觉得我尽了最大的努力，还是不能达到原音的速度，翻了一下小伙伴们的朗读（只是显示出接近一分七秒的），大部分人都没能达到，我找到了一个wex-深圳-初中生，还有一个zip-西安-学生，注意她们昨天也是达标了的，真的是年轻更容易学习吗？

读完后回一个语音微信，发现语速都不是我平时的样子了，快了不少，可能紧张情绪还在吧。

写简书前，看了家长群信息，看到一条县城里十四岁孩子跳楼自杀的消息，心绪一时很乱，都没有心情继续记录了。（茫茫世界同龄孩子不同的经历和命运........)
