Lesson 1: A Puma at Large

Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.

這幾天一直在讀這篇PUMA，自己實在是不滿意，可是實在是不能再讀了，真的惡心了。我現在也想明白了，就自己目前的水平，是怎樣也不可能做到真正的讀好的。比如說貼的這篇文章，是我相對比較滿意的，可是第一句AT LARGE裏，我明顯的聽出了自己加了個音在T的後麵。我現在覺得還是應該量話，不能用自己的感覺來判斷，否則真的是一種折磨。我想以後就三天一篇，每篇保證讀90遍，爭取精讀每一句話！請大家幫助我進步，指出您能聽出的問題，我的目標也是第三冊讀完後就到達40分的水平！

另外，大家又什麽好的跟讀軟件可以推薦嗎？最好是那一種能看波形與時間的！謝謝！
