英语文本

精听建议：

先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍，争取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精听，力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方，再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单，不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦，有些语速比较快。试试看，你能不能全部写对？

（参考文本，欢迎指出错误^^）

中文翻译和词汇注释

做勇敢的人

下午五点，巴尼刚在理发店剪好头发，佛瑞德向他跑过来。佛瑞德上气不接下气，看上去很忧虑。他一整天都在寻找马蒂，觉得巴尼或许能帮他找找。马蒂的妈妈试图让马蒂去看牙医检查他的牙齿。但马蒂很害怕，不想去。现在他不见了，佛瑞德认为他离家出走了。
巴尼告诉佛瑞德，他准备到尼克汽车修理厂修车。邻近的很多小孩会去修理厂，因为他们喜欢在破旧无用的汽车里玩游戏。他们当中可能有人见到过马蒂，或者知道他在哪儿。巴尼让佛瑞德搭他的出租车到修理厂。
两人到达尼克修理厂时，发现马蒂正和其他男孩玩耍。佛瑞德劝说马蒂要做个勇敢的人，像个男子汉一样去看牙医。马蒂最终同意了，但是要求佛瑞德和他一起去，给他鼓气。佛瑞德笑了，把马蒂抱在怀里。他们坐着巴尼的出租车一起去了牙医那里。
