练习材料：
Last week at a dinner-party, the hostess asked meto sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large,unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took myseat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she wasbusy eating. I tried to make conversation.
'A new play is coming to" The Globe"soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it ?' ' No,' she answered. 'Will you bespending your holidays abroad this year ?' I asked. ' No,' she answered.
'Will you be staying in England?' I asked. ' No,'she answered. In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
'Young man,' she answered,' if you ate more andtalked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!'

任务配置：L0+L1+L4
笔记：
1.音标学习
[ʌ]，单元音，中元音。
①发音方法
1）嘴巴张开一半左右，牙齿分开，下嘴唇略向下。
2）舌中部向硬颚抬起，不要接触到硬颚，舌尖和舌端两侧贴在下。
3）双唇向两边平展形成扁平状，震动声带，短促有力推出气流发出/ʌ/音。
②本文中含有这个音标的单词练习：unsmiling，up，coming，young
2.朗读(L0)
（1）at a dinner-party，at 和a 连读
（2）look up连读
3.知识点
（1）despair n.绝望; v.绝望; 失去希望; 丧失信心;
in despair 失望中，绝望地
（2）take one's seat
在指定的位置上就座
take a
seat表示“坐下”，比sit要正式；take one's seat则表示位置事先已安排好。
（3）Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time，she was busy eating.
她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子，不一会儿就忙着吃起来了。
fix最常用的意思为“使……固定”、“安装”：she fixed a handle on the door.她在门上安了个把手。
fix on的含义之一为“使(目光、注意力等)集中于”、“盯着”，本文是这个含义。
（4）文中有好几个句子是will you be doing ……
将来进行时除了表示最近或不久的将来正在进行的动作外，还可以表示计划或安排好的事。
练习感悟：
明明前面的文中已经有过将来进行时了，这篇文中出现的时候还是有点不理解为什么要有将来进行时而不用一般将来时来问“你去干啥吗”，学习深度还是不够啊。
还有will you ，自己读出来总感觉跟听录音有差别，怎么录音听起来总感觉又连读，但是我上网查很多都说这里不需要连读。
