作業：（新概念II）Lesson 56 Faster than sound

Lesson 56 Faster than sound! 比聲音還快！

（跟讀eyeyey推薦的"Bigear"新版美音 http://www.ebigear.com/res-27-7777700000403.html）



First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音，然後回答以下問題。
How fast did the winning car go?

Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour -- much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

跟讀完，自己再讀一遍



看到這裏的朋友進展都這麽快，我汗~~~~~呀！新年過後就開始準備一個考試，精力都被挖走了，平時上班休息的時候是上網，現在是找個沒人的角落看書~~

2009年最大的夢想——繼續讀新概念......

今天下午正好有點時間，就拿起了久違的新概念，哦~我才讀到第56課。

首先感謝eyeyey，她推薦的那個網站上有第二冊最新版的美音朗讀。我們從文學城上找到的，隻有第三、四冊，也就是YuGong一直貼的，是最新版的。第二冊還是舊版上外的（但效果還是比我原來有的好的多得多）。這個新版美音真是“跌宕起伏”啊，跟讀得好辛苦，不過很喜歡這個朗讀者，每個字都發的特別清晰，語調也很好聽~ 謝謝eyeyey!

不知道57課什麽時候能有時間讀，未知數 :((

給大家加油！你們繼續衝吧，別管我了......
