Lesson65 Jumbo versus the police
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side-street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

知识笔记:
- 朗读(L0):Dressed/drɛst/注意/ɛ/,elephant/ˈɛləfənt/不是/ˈɛləfɔnt/,来源 https://tophonetics.com/。
练习感悟:
- 朗读感受:每天每天都在匆忙和歉疚中读完,因为读英语就没法陪宝宝更多,但不读英语又无法做更好的自己。为了宝宝也要让自己变得更好,何况英语也是自己喜欢的事物之一,继续努力吧。
- 能否改进:能否获得更好的休息而早起朗读呢,可以尝试下。
- 打鸡血:加油~
