一、生活場(chǎng)景學(xué)習(xí)
As I was saying, I sometimes wake up before the alarm, usually because of some noise outside the house-a car door slamming, an alarm going off, gunfire-well, okay, not gunfire, but man, is my neighborhood noisy! Of course, when I'm staying in a hotel, it's usually easier to just get a wake up call from the hotel than set the alarm.
I'm not really an early riser, so I don't jump out of bed ready to take on the world. I get up very slowly, usually one foot on the floor at a time. Every once in a while I'll oversleep, but not too often. I really love the weekends, when I can sleep in.

5.Once in a while 偶爾- Once in a while, I put my work down and play computer games. 偶爾，我放下工作，然后玩一點(diǎn)游戲。
6.to oversleep 睡過(guò)頭了 - Peter overslept and missed his biology exam. Do you think his professor will let his take it another day? 皮特睡過(guò)頭了，錯(cuò)過(guò)了生物考試，你覺得教授會(huì)讓他改天重考嗎？

7.to sleep in 睡懶覺-Teenagers love to sleep in on weekends. Sometimes they don't wake up until noon! 青少年喜歡周末睡懶覺，有時(shí)候直接睡到中午。
