L19-1：A very dear cat
Kidnappers are rarely interested in animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs. Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs. Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.
There days after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs. Ramsay paid a ransom of $1,000.

知识笔记：
今天群里同学指出了元音和发音不清晰问题，谢谢Jack!
练习感悟：
今天的课文比较简单，生词不多。要注意美音区别。比如，anonymous [əˈnɒnɪməs] 。
另外，群里同学指出了我的原因老毛病，读不完整。感觉双元音是我很难克服的障碍，每次都觉得尽力去发音了，但是还是不到位。练得不够。还有不能为快而吞音。老毛病一直重复犯。
