Lesson28 No parking
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up' No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

配置任务:L0+L1+L4
知识笔记:
单词:1、rare:罕见的;2、Medusa:美杜莎(古希腊神话中3位蛇发女怪之一);3、ancient:古代的,古老的;4、myth:神话故事;5:Gorgon(古希腊神话中的)3位蛇发女怪之一(凡见其貌者都会变成石头)
音标:/s/: just、house、since、someone、outside、this、stone、ask、ugliest、seen、hopes
/s/是辅音音标,属于摩擦音、齿龈音及清辅音。发音时上下齿自然合拢,嘴唇微开,舌前抬起,将口腔的空气从窄缝中泄出成嘶的音。注意:/s/是个清辅音,声带不震动。要注意与/ð/,/θ/,/z/的区别。
练习感悟:今天看音标发现很多s都没读对,比如is、has都读了/s/,正确是发/z/,混淆了,以后得多注意。
