精聽建議：

先完整地把一條新聞聽一到三遍，爭取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精聽，力爭每句話都聽明白。遇到實在不懂的地方，再聽寫。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的詞都很簡單，不過是一些值得注意的連讀或者典型的美式發音哦，有些語速比較快。試試看，你能不能全部寫對？

（參考文本，歡迎指出錯誤^^）

Lesson57 A Little Kite

“I never can do it，” the little kite said，As he looked at the others high 1 ；
“I know I should fall if I tried to fly．”
“Try，” said the big kite， “Only try!Or I fear you never will learn 2 ． ”
But the little kite said， “I'm afraid I'll fall．”
The big kite nodded：“Ah， well， good-bye；I'm off．” And he rose toward the 3 sky．
Then the little kite's paper stirred at the sight，And trembling， he shook himself free for flight．
First whirling and frightened， then braver grown，Up， up he rose through the air alone，Till the big kite， looking down， could see
The little one rising 4 ．
Then how the little kite thrilled with pride，As he sailed with the big kite 5 !
While far below he could see the ground，And the boys， like small spots moving round．
They rested high in the quiet air，And only the joyful birds were there．
“Oh， how happy I am!” the little kite cried，“And all because I was brave， and tried．”
