First reading in 2011 - VOA --(01/04/2011)

Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

There are many American expressions about insects -- like bees, for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy, moving around in their homes, or hives. So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.

In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.

受大家的激勵，我也來表表新年Resolution,上我的新年第一讀。
昨天看看這兩年的貼，發現道理咱都明白，缺的就是一個練，象小千和二號那樣細致不懈的練。以前也讀，但怕煩沒有精讀，結果效果不是很理想，唯一的好處是堅持了一段時間，和大家把方法論討論了一遍。現在回過頭來想，欲速則不達，精讀是一個不得不過的坎。好吧，那咱就精讀。每天練兩小段，一周練一篇。以十周為期，看看效果如何。各位同學多提意見多監督。謝謝!
