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^^）

新理发师的手艺

马修住在一个大城市里，一直让同一个理发师理发。马修一个月到他那儿理一次发，他总能把头发理成马修想要的样子，理发师理发时，两个男人就谈着他们喜爱的游戏或电影。

一天，老理发师对马修说：“马修，下个月我就六十五岁了，到时要退休了。我打算把店卖给一个想做理发师的年轻人。”

听到这个消息马修很失落，因为他喜欢和老理发师聊天，而且他担心新理发师理不好。

过了一个月，他又去理发。店里已经换了新的理发师，他给马修理的头发很难看。

一个月后，马修又到了这家店。年轻的理发师问马修想理什么发型，马修说：“麻烦把右侧头发理得短短的，左侧不要动。要能遮住耳朵。头顶中间的头发剪掉，但前面留一绺能垂到下巴的头发。”

年轻人听到他这么说非常吃惊。“可是先生，”他说，“我不能把你的头发理成那个样子！”

“怎么不行？”马修说，“你上次给我理的就是那样。”
