American History: Hoover Wins in 1928
The presidential election of nineteen twenty-eight gave American voters a clear political choice.
The Democratic Party nominated Al Smith. He was the popular governor of the state of New York.
The Republican Party chose Herbert Hoover. He was an engineer and businessman who served as
secretary of commerce for presidents Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.
This week in our series, Rich Kleinfeldt and Harry Monroe tell us about the presidential election
of nineteen twenty-eight.
RICH KLEINFELDT: Governor Alfred Smith of New York had campaigned for the Democratic
presidential nomination in nineteen twenty-four. But he was defeated at the party convention by
a compromise candidate, John Davis.
Four years later, however, Smith could not be stopped. He had a strong record as governor of the
nation's most heavily-populated state. He campaigned for the presidency on a policy of building
new electric power stations under public control.
Smith knew that many conservative Americans might be worried by his new ideas and his belief
in strong government. So he chose as his campaign manager a Republican industrial leader who
had worked with General Motors, DuPont and other major companies.
Smith hoped this would prove his faith in the American private business system.
HARRY MONROE: Al Smith was a strong political leader and an effective governor. But he
frightened many Americans, especially conservative citizens living in rural areas.
They lived on farms or in small towns. Al Smith was from the city. And not just from any city, but
New York City, a place that seemed big and dirty and filled with foreign people and strange
traditions. Al Smith's parents came from Ireland. He grew up in New York and worked as a
salesman at the Fulton Fish Market.
Smith was an honest man. But many rural Americans simply did not trust people from big cities.
Al Smith seemed to them to represent everything that was new, different, and dangerous about
American life.
But being from New York City was not Al Smith's only problem. He also opposed the new national
laws that made it illegal to buy or produce alcoholic drinks. And he had political ties to the New
York political machine. But worst of all, in the eyes of many Americans, Al Smith was a Roman
Catholic.
RICH KLEINFELDT: From George Washington through Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and up
to Calvin Coolidge, every American president had been male, white, and a Protestant Christian. Of course, there was no law requiring a candidate to be Protestant. But millions of traditional
Americans just were not ready to give their vote to a Roman Catholic.
Opponents of the Smith campaign generally did not speak openly about his religion. But many of
them were afraid that Smith would take his orders from the Vatican in Rome, instead of working
with the Congress in Washington.
Al Smith fought back. He told the country, "I am unable to understand how anything I was taught
to believe as a Catholic could possibly be in conflict with what is good citizenship. My faith," he
said, "is built upon the laws of God. There can be no conflict between them. "
HARRY MONROE: But many Protestant Americans thought there was a conflict. And they looked
to the Republican Party to supply a strong candidate to oppose Smith and the Democrats.
The Republicans did just that. They nominated former secretary of commerce Herbert Hoover,
one of the country's most popular men. Hoover was well-known to Americans. People trusted
him. And they liked the way he had gained great personal success from poor beginnings.
In fact, Hoover's life story would have pleased Abraham Lincoln, another American who rose from
a poor family to fame.
Hoover was born in the farm state of Iowa in eighteen seventy-four. His father was a poor metal
worker who kept moving his family from state to state.
Herbert Hoover's father died when the boy was just six years old. His mother died four years later.
Young Herbert had to move to the western state of Oregon to live with his mother's brother.
Herbert's uncle was luckier in life than Herbert's parents. He had made money in the land
business. And he helped the boy gain admission to Stanford University in California. At the
university, Herbert showed great skill in mathematics. And he decided to go into business as a
geologist studying the science of the earth.
RICH KLEINFELDT: After college, Herbert Hoover got a job as a mine worker. During the next
several years, Hoover spent most of his time working as an engineer in foreign countries. And he
succeeded beyond his greatest dreams. By the time he was forty years old, he had earned more

如何改善英语发音
如何改善英语发音
英语的发音问题是每一个英语为非母语的学习者必然会遇到的问题。地道、流利、准确的发音可以使你自如自信地与外国朋友交流，在外企面试的时候占尽先机，在口语考试中或签证时给主考官或签证官留下好印象，甚至也是在听力考试中取得理想成绩的根底，试想一个单词的发音你自己都搞不清楚，又怎么能保证在听力考试中听得懂呢?可见英语发音对英语学习者来说是多么的重要。
其实改善英语发音并不难，大家按照以下方法练习，短期内就可以有明显提高：
我们很多同学发音不准恐怕跟当年的英语老师也有关系，他们自己的发音就未必标准。而与外国人对话也未必能改善你的发音，很多外国人口音很重，而你自己有没有区分能力，盲目的模仿恐怕会学一口南腔北调的口音。试想一个美国人学汉语，老师是个口音很重的山东胶东人，这个美国人的汉语发音就可想而知了。我大学时有个同学，认识了一个英国朋友，天天与这个朋友练口语。一次他在英语角与另一个英国人聊天，这个英国人非常惊讶，问他是否去过英国，我的同学说没有，这个英国人说我的这同学讲英语有明显的伦敦乡村口音。可见一个正确的声音源何等重要。
那么到哪里去找好的声音源呢?学习和纠正单词发音最好的工具就是真人发音版本的电子字典，这里我推荐《朗文电子字典》，每个单词有英式和美式两种真人发音。句子的语气和抑扬顿挫的变化当然是电台电视台的播音员发音最标准。如学习美式发音可以选择voa,n等，学习英式发音当然bbc是首选，学日语可以参考nhk等(很多书店都有售mp3版本voa,bbc的新闻录音，并配有原文，是个好选择，如果嫌语速太快可以从 special English听起)。正如一个美国人想改善汉语发音，我们当然推荐他常听中央人民播送电台的节目。注意我说的是发音，要练习口语会话请参考《走遍美国》。
就像我们在学习一首新歌一样，一遍遍模仿直到发音与播音员一模一样。而且以后在发音时，也要关掉“自动控制”，有意识地按照正确发音去说去读，直到不用想着发音也标准正确，就到达目的了。我的 经历是一般歌唱得好，模仿能力强的同学改善得更快一些，但模仿能力不佳的人通过更长时间的努力也一定能到达一样的效果。

1 / 9 美国英语卷舌音的规则
其实很简单，有字母R就卷舌，没有字母R就不卷舌。比如说，famous，著名的，你就不要把它读成famours，因为它没有字母R，类似的单词还有Christmas，China，delicious等等，不要把它们分别读成Christmars, Chinar, 和deliciours。大家同时也要注意，有两个单词例外，其中一个是一个缩写词，Mrs，也就是太太，女士，它含字母R，但是不卷舌，另外一个是colonel，上校，c-o-l-o-n-e-l，colonel，它没有字母R，但是要卷舌。好，总结一下，在美国英语里面，有字母R就卷舌，没有就不卷，两个单词除外，Mrs和colonel.
英语与美与存在着很大区别，今天来学一下发音上的不同。
一:字母r出现在元音组合时,北美英语卷舌音:
[ar]_far car charge large smart
[ir]_clear dear fear cheer here
[3r]_air dare pear their where
[ar]_for more door pour before
[jur]_sure poor cure fewer
[e;r]_her turn learn word first
[air]_fine tired higher liar buyer
[aur]_hour flour shower power tower
[oir]_destroyer enjoyer
二:
英语中的元音a;在用于 t;a;s或鼻音前时,英语发音为[ae]但在字母.lm.前发音不变仍为[a:]
Half bath pass ask
不变:calm palm
三;元音区别
英语o:变为美语a
Bought talk ball caught law saw
四:元音区别

大学英语听课心得体会1
首先，我谈一下大学学习与初高中学习的不同之处。大学阶段的学习不再像是中学阶段那样，依靠老师填鸭式的教学，学生完全处在被动的位置。而在大学，老师的任务只是引你入门，真正能学多少，则要看你自己的兴趣以及自己的努力程度。因此，大学生应该成为课堂的主人，自己主宰着自己的学习，养成一种良好的学习方法和学习习惯，就显得尤为重要，也很有必要。同时，《大学英语》课程的设立与高中英语有着明显的不同，《大学英语》开设了两门课，一门是英语读写译，一门是视听说。也就是说，大学英语不像我们中学那样仅仅学习单词和语法知识，甚至大学老师在课堂上几乎不讲授语法知识，单词也是自己课下有计划的记忆，没有人约束;而视听说课则侧重于英语表达能力，锤炼你的发音、语调。中学英语学习注重于读写，而大学英语注重于听说。
其次，大学的学习方法不可能像中学那样，为了应试不断在搞题海战术，大学生要有一个清晰地学习目标与思路。
那么，我们怎样才能把大学阶段的英语学好呢?我的经验和体会可以归纳为以下几点：
一、充分利用教材，搞好课前预习 教材是诸多学者专家经很多年教学与摸索而精心编写出来的，因此我们要把现在用的教材用实、用透、用精。在此，我非常重视教材的利用。课前要预习课文。通读一遍，了解大概意思，抓住主题，确定方向。单词表记忆，记忆单词意思，记忆英语解释，记忆单词词性。通读第二遍，有意识的将单词的含义带入，看看能加强理解多少，同时是对单词的加强记忆。通读第三遍，划分段落结构，思考文章的构思方法，以及符合英语文章中的哪种结构类型，总结归纳，并有意识的应用在你以后的写作中。
二、集中精力，认真听课
认真对待每一堂课，有人说“学生是课堂的主人”，而我却想说课堂是学生的保护神。在大学，你不可能把全部的精力都用在学习上，要参加活动，要处理自己的一些日常事务，或者勤工俭学，要锻炼自己的综合素质等等。这就需要我们把这课堂这50分钟有效的利用起来，在老师的引导下你会学得飞快，再加上精力集中，动脑思考，一般一堂课下来，课后稍微复习一下就没问题了。

In developing countries, attending school can be a
daily struggle for some children.
They may walk several kilometers to school because
their families do not have money to send them on buses or
other forms of transportation.
With schools far away, and little money to pay for
transport costs, parents worry about the safety of their
children walking to school.
So, a number of parents keep their children at home. Or
the child drops out of school: they leave without pleting
their studies.
These and other barriers to school attendance are the
reality for many girls in poor countries.
But now, programs in two developing countries are
helping to change that. The programs are giving girls

大学英语的学习规划 篇1
以前高中时期学英语的时候可能更强调应试(语法词汇都很程式化)，到了大学阶段应当注意听说读写译综合进展和英语的实际运用。
1.听说。听是输入，说是输出，所以听力是口语的前提。你可以常上英语学习网站，比方普特(putclub)、沪江英语(hjenglish)上面有许多听力材料，有不同的难度梯度。假如你本身英语还不错的话，可以从上面多找一些VOA、BBC和CNN的新闻和报道(有音频有视频)，然后做精听练习。先听一两遍，搞明白main idea，然后再以句子意群为单位，准确地repeat其中的每句话(重复的时候留意仿照原音中的发音、语调、停顿等)。这样的训练可以很实在的提高你的英语听力实力。经过一段时间(一个月、一学期...)的密集训练，你就会发觉听英语的时候不再是“朦模糊胧”的，而是很清晰的知道老外在讲什么。
另外还有一种提高听力的途径就是看美剧英剧，这个方法既能消遣放松，同时又熬炼了耳朵的敏感度，学习到新奇有用的口语表达。像经典的情景喜剧《老友记》《老爸老妈浪漫史》《生活大爆炸》等等，假如对喜剧感觉一般般的话，可以选择剧情类的(美剧在这方面供应的选择超多的，校园、科幻、司法、医务等等)，你可以去伊甸园和美剧迷这样的网站论
坛上多去看看别人的推举和共享。
2.阅读和写作。其实中国大局部学生的英文写作力量是应付考试的，所以这种文章都有套路，词汇运用也有限。阅读是积存词汇，扩大学问面和信息量的最正确途径。推举大学生多看看外刊(Newsweek新闻周刊、Time时代周刊、Economist经济学家、Times泰晤士报、Guardian卫报等等)，从这些报纸杂志的文章里，你能涉猎到西方社会的文化、经济、政治各个层面，而且熟识西方人的规律和思辨。这些外刊都有其官方网站，可以定期上去扫瞄，并保存一些视角新奇、文风犀利的文章，做做翻译练习。

In a landmark address in Riyadh to Arab and many other
Muslim leaders, President Donald Trump called for a
coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out the
plague of extremism and providing the next generation in
the Middle East with a hopeful future.
Starving terrorists of their territory, their funding,
and the false allure of their craven ideology, President
Trump said, will be the basis for the terrorists' defeat:
“But no discussion of stamping out this threat would
be plete without mentioning the government that gives
terrorists all three -- safe harbor, financial backing, and
the social standing needed for recruitment. It is a regime
that is responsible for so much instability in that region.
I am speaking, of course, of Iran.”

基础教育阶段英语课程的总目标是培育学生的综合语言运用能力。而语言综
合能力的形成成立在学生的语言技术、语言知识、感情态度、学习策略和文化意
识等修养整体发展的基础上。听力在四项语言基本技术中，也是社交活动中最主
要的一种形式。用英语进行沟通的最基本能力是理解并听懂他人所说的内容。据
对人们互相沟通活动所用时间的统计， 听占 30%。所以，从某种意义上来说， “听”
比 “说”更重要。 要能有效的社交 , 第一 , 就要提升听的能力。 教师在英语语
言的教课活动中应存心安排大批“听”的活动。如听老师讲英语、听课文录音、
听同学讲英语、甚至能够组织学生看电影、看电视、听广播、听歌曲、听英美等
国人士的发言或录音等。关于英语学习者， " 听是攻陷英语碉堡的打破口。 "
听是一个主动，踊跃地对信息进行认知、加工的心理过程；它是主动地理解，
而不是被动的感知，更不是纯真的声学事实。这一点说明听是一种拥有能动性的
感知行为。听这一过程只管在瞬时内达成，但从初步感知抵达成听力理解都是一
个复杂深入的过程，需要听者不停地进行鉴别、比较、记忆和判断。要达到听力
