Lesson52    A pretty carpet

[if !vml][endif]We have just movedinto a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been tryingtogetmy new roomin order.This has notbeen easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the roomis rather small, so I havetemporarilyput my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor spaceand I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short whileago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. Shewent into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on thefloor. 'This is theprettiest

carpetI have ever seen,' she said. Shegazedat it for some time then added, 'You don'tneed bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

现在来看看我们应该如何正确的发出/ð/这个音。

[if !supportLists]1.    [endif]1）首先将舌尖微微伸出略微露出齿外，置于上下门齿之间，舌身成扁平。

[if !supportLists]2.    [endif]2）气流从舌齿间的窄缝中泄出，同时声带震动发出/ð/这个音。

注意：/ð/是舌齿、浊辅音，舌尖和下齿之间的气流通道非常窄小。发这个音主要是舌尖与上齿之间的摩擦，所以千万不要紧紧咬住舌尖，只要轻轻咬一咬就行了！
