声姐读得很好！再稍微注意一下语调。。

有的r没有卷舌。

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: This is SCIENCE IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English. I’m Shirley Griffith.

BOB DOUGHTY: And I’m Bob Doughty. Today, we will talk about diet and weight loss. Exercise is important if you want to get in（可连读） good shape. But experts say（不要读降调） exercise alone is not enough if your goal is to lose weight.

(MUSIC)

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: It is that time of year again! Warm weather has returned to Earth’s northern hemisphere. Summer is a time when people of all ages feel like getting their swimwear and going to the nearest swimming pool or seashore. But（t可以不爆破，只留舌位） first, there is that troublesome little thing called winter weight gain（这个我也发不好，但是应该发/ei/的音，似乎你的没到位）. Many of us gain(这里的gain最好不要读成降调，因为还没结束） weight because of inactivity during the winter.
