L20-1：Pioneerpilots
In 1908 Lord Northcliffe offered a prize of $1,000 to the first man who would fly across the English Channel. Over a year passed before the first attempt was made. On July 19th, 1909, in the early morning, Hubert Latham took off from the French coast in his plane the 'Antoinette IV.' He had travelled only seven miles across the Channel when his engine failed and he was forced to land on sea. The 'Antoinette' floated on the water until Latham was picked up by a ship.
Two days later, Louis Bleriot arrived near Calais with a plane called 'No. XI'. Bleriot had been making planes since 1905 and this was his lattes model. A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-six miles.

任务配置:L0+L4
知识笔记:1.the English Channel英吉利海峡
2.Over a year passed before the first attempt was made.一年多时间之后，才有人进行第一次尝试。
3. pick up 此处作“(从海里)救起”解。
4.did not give up easily不轻易作罢
5./e/的发音
1）嘴唇向两侧微微分开，上下齿之间大约可容纳一个小指头尖的距离。
2）舌前部在发音过程中抬起，舌尖稍微接触下齿背。
3）发音时下巴逐渐向下移动，震动声带，发出/e/音。
注意：/e/个短元音，注意与/ɜː/、/ə/的区别。
练习感悟:1.训练到一段时间人会产生倦怠感和优越感。觉得自己好像什么都会了都懂了，然并非如此。逼着自己重新开始，像第一次听说那样。这便是初心吧！！！
