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^^）



Lesson41 Work in a Bank

While Bill left school, he hoped to get himself 1 .

"I'll work in a bank," he said to himself, "because my uncle works in one".

He went to his aunt and said, "I want to work in a bank like Uncle Bob." His aunt smiled, but didn't say anything. When Bill's uncle came home that evening, his wife told him that Bill wanted to work in a bank. His uncle agreed that it was a good idea.

So Bill went to one of the banks and got a job. "You can work here for a month," the manager said, "and if you're good enough, you can stay. You"ll work with Mr. Unwin. He'll 2 and train you."

Mr. Unwin was one of the clerks in the bank, and he had been there for many years. He took Bill around the bank, and Bill learned a lot of things from him.

Then one day Mr. Unwin gave Bill some 3 notes. "Count these," he ordered him. "There ought to be one thousand there.

If there aren't, let me know right away."

Bill began to count the notes, but he quickly became bored, and when he had counted half of them, he became impatient.
"Five hundred ten, 4 , five hundred thirty," he counted. Then he stopped, looked at Mr. Unwin and pointed at the pile of notes.

"Well," he said, "if they're correct up to here, they'll all be 5 , won't they?"

在银行工作

比尔从学校毕业时，希望能找份体面的工作。“我要到银行工作，”他心想，“我的叔父就是一个银行职员。”

他对婶婶说：“我想像鲍勃叔父那样到银行工作。”他的婶婶笑笑，没说什么。比尔的叔父那晚回家后，他的妻子告诉他比尔想到银行工作。比尔的叔父认为这个想法不错。

于是比尔到了一家银行工作。“你先在这里干一个月，”经理说，“如果干得好，你就留下。你将和安文先生一起工作，他会带你熟悉环境，并指导你工作。”

安文先生是在银行工作多年的职员。比尔跟着他熟悉了银行环境，并从他那里学到很多东西。
一天，安文先生交给比尔一叠十英镑的纸币。“数一数，”他命令道，“这些应该是一千英镑。如果不是，马上告诉我。”

比尔开始数，但很快就生厌了，数了一半，他失去了耐心。“五百一十、五百二十、五百三十”他数道。然后他停下来，指着那堆钱，看着安文先生。

“好啦，”他说，“如果数到现在都是对的，那剩下的也不会错的，对不对？”
