totally agree with 大S！

However, I do think sometimes, we need to read a variety of materials as the 900 sentences reading is a little bit too broadcasty(is that a word?). I feel more comfortable to imitate the VOA English actually. My plan was using VOA for 泛读 and learning the words and their stories in the meanwhile. I will choose 5 words and their stories passages to practice this month. This is just the first round, you will hear me repeating the cat stories, maybe in a faster speed, pretty soon. hehe, your poor ears!
