听力练习

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^^）

累人的聚会
哈里斯夫妇刚搬到一个小镇，并结识了很多有趣的人。两人经常到别人家里吃晚饭或聚会。他们于是决定也举办一个盛大的聚会。
他们选了个日子，然后哈里斯夫人开始写请帖。请帖里有这样一句话：“哈里斯先生和夫人很高兴大家光临在他们家里举办的聚会。时间为晚上六点半到八点半。”
“这样写不大好吧？”哈里斯先生说。“你是在告诉我们的客人必须在八点半离开。”
哈里斯夫人因此这样写：“聚会晚上六点半开始。”
聚会那天来了很多客人，而且他们都玩得尽兴。事实上，他们一直逗留到半夜直到来了一个警察。警察说：“你们必须结束聚会，有人已经投诉了。”
哈里斯先生不想和警察争论。客人们很快就走了。只剩下夫妇俩的时候，哈里斯夫人说：“真令人惊讶，谁会嫌吵呢？”
“我嫌吵，”哈里斯先生用疲惫的声音答道。
