L5-(1): The facts
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace'. The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them.

练习感悟：
今天是这篇课文的上半部，比较简单。跟读时仍然重点关注语调的问题。遇到简单的课文时，速度问题就没有那么明显了。先自己熟悉下，再跟着正常速度听整体，再跟着0.8倍速一句句模仿，能把细节听清楚，即使是这样，句子稍微长一点，就感觉很难模仿到语调，听了后半句忘记前半句。只能多次听，现在还处在数量的积累太坑阶段，还无法准确体会到语气的规律，努力的过程会比较长。
听完第一次大课，有点懵，信息量太大了，一时消化不了。不过记得S说，解决一个你需要解决的事情，一定不是短期的过程。所以一定要有耐心，持续做。
