听风mm，不好意思，现在才交作业，请你和同学们帮着听听

最近狂忙，半马之前许下的许多事要做，周三还做了第8个toastmaster speech，所以直到今天才练这篇。请大家和听风mm给听听，砖头鲜花都欢迎。我打算过段时间再读读这段。

This is FRESH AIR. I'm(sounds like /em/ instead of /aim/,当你发I长圆音的时候, 设想打哈欠时的动作,舌跟和咽喉有明显的后缩和下降, 这个音会用到类似的口腔动作, I的音就到位了.因为有个连音, 造成视觉干扰, I 发不够长) Terry Gross. The Internet was invented in the U.S., but we've fallen behind (被读成降调了,用平调,让后面的部分接得更流畅一些) other countries in terms of access and speed. Our(r的音没出来, 给口腔多一些时间) service is more expensive than in any of those countries. Why? That's one of the questions my guest, David Cay Johnston, tries to answer (说短音a的时候, 刻意的把嘴角往两边拉) in his new book, "The Fine Print."

It's about how many corporations have worked the regulatory system to their advantage(t could be pronounced as d) and how that affects things ranging from the service you receive(被读成降调了, 如果是单独强调”receive”的话可以加重, 它后面还有一个并列的部分, 所以把receive说成平调比较合理,后面的部分接得更流畅一些.) to the state of our infrastructure. He also examines the fees that banks and phone companies have added over the years that have made your bills incrementally larger but have added up to big money for corporations(字看着大而长,但不用重读, 没有重点强调的话,轻读轻降).

Johnston was a reporter for the New York Times for 13 years (听着有点别扭,但说不上是什么问题), where he covered the tax system. In 2001, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of tax and equities and loopholes. He's now the board president of( Investigative Reporters and Editors Incorporated) (and 在这儿不是断句符号,公司名当一个整体来读,and轻而快把前后两部分连起来) and (这个and起断句作用, 前面有停顿)teaches at Syracuse University College of Law.

David Cay Johnston, welcome back to FRESH AIR.
