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^^）

男孩子应该安静地待在那里

爱德华国王很爱他的孙子孙女，但他对他们很严格，不允许他们发出很大的噪音，未经祖父允许不能在吃饭时说话。
一天，孩子们正在和爱德华国王一起吃午餐。国王和一位重要的客人——瑞典国王谈话。他沉浸于谈话之中以至于对自己所吃的东西没怎么在意。
突然，他的一个小孙子说，“祖父！”
国王没有注意到他的插话，继续和瑞典国王讲话。
“祖父！”小男孩更加大声地又喊了一次。
“安静点，大卫。打断大人的谈话是很不礼貌的。”“但是，祖父！”
“小孩子应该安静地待在那里，”国王说，“有什么等到我和瑞典国王谈完话再说。”
小男孩只好保持沉默。
当爱德华国王与瑞典国王谈完话后，他转向他的小孙子说：“我的小伙子，现在你想和我说什么？”
“哦，现在已经不重要了，”小男孩说，“我只是想告诉您，您的莴苣上有一条虫，不过您已经把它吃掉了。”
