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，欢迎指正^^）

累得不想度假

玛丽威廉姆斯一个人生活，在一家公司任重要职务。她工作很努力，经常工作到很晚，甚至周末也工作。

吉尔托玛斯是玛丽最好的朋友，但吉尔结婚了，而且她不愿始终处于工作状态。“利恩和我不上班的时候，我很乐意和他呆在家。”她总说，“我要享受人生。”

吉尔和利恩都非常喜欢徒步旅行和跳舞。几乎每个周末他们都去徒步旅行和跳舞。另外他们晚上也跳舞。度假时，他们几乎一直在爬山、游泳、在湖上驾驶帆船和跳舞。

吉尔有次对玛丽说：“今年愿意和我们度假吗，玛丽？”玛丽很乐意，因此吉尔和玛丽，还有利恩一起度了两周假。玛丽假期玩的很开心，但在他们爬完所有要爬的山、整天游泳和跳舞之后，她感到非常疲倦。

第二年夏天，吉尔再次邀请玛丽和他们一起度假。

“非常感谢，”玛丽回答，“但我想坦率的告诉你：很抱歉我不能去，因为今年我做了很多工作，很累。我不需要假期，只需要休息！”
