作业：（新概念II）Lesson 56 Faster than sound

Lesson 56 Faster than sound! 比声音还快！

（跟读eyeyey推荐的"Bigear"新版美音 http://www.ebigear.com/res-27-7777700000403.html）



First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
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.

跟读完，自己再读一遍



看到这里的朋友进展都这么快，我汗~~~~~呀！新年过后就开始准备一个考试，精力都被挖走了，平时上班休息的时候是上网，现在是找个没人的角落看书~~

2009年最大的梦想——继续读新概念......

今天下午正好有点时间，就拿起了久违的新概念，哦~我才读到第56课。

首先感谢eyeyey，她推荐的那个网站上有第二册最新版的美音朗读。我们从文学城上找到的，只有第三、四册，也就是YuGong一直贴的，是最新版的。第二册还是旧版上外的（但效果还是比我原来有的好的多得多）。这个新版美音真是“跌宕起伏”啊，跟读得好辛苦，不过很喜欢这个朗读者，每个字都发的特别清晰，语调也很好听~ 谢谢eyeyey!

不知道57课什么时候能有时间读，未知数 :((

给大家加油！你们继续冲吧，别管我了......
