2019-03-28, Day 172, starting at 2018-10-08, 新概念英语第三册 Lesson 38-2: The first calendar
练习材料（每天自己打写一遍熟悉）:
Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols which have been engraved on walls, bones, and the ivory tusks of mammoths. The nomads who made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon. It is, in fact, a primitive type of calendar. It has long been known that the hunting scenes depicted on walls were not simply a form of artistic expression. They had a definite meaning, for they were as near as early man could get ot writing. It is possible that there si a definite relation between these paintings and the markings that sometimes accompany them. It seems that man was making a real effort to understand the seasons 20,000 years earlier than has been supposed.

单词/词组:
- be puzzled by
- live by
- markings vs marks
- the passage of days
- the phases of the moon

音标发音:
正确的发出/ʌ/这个音。
1）嘴巴张开一半左百，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。
注意：/ʌ/个短元音，要诀是发音时收小腹，注意与/æ/的区别。
- 根据Jason发音教学，/ʌ/的发音时候口腔是放松的状态，面部肌肉放松；而/æ/发音时候，是嘴张大，舌头下压，面部肌肉紧张。
注意对比cap vs cup, ankle vs uncle.
练习感悟：
Thoughts: 每日精进就是确认自己的朗读首先自己挑不出问题了（朗读20遍 and 音标 and 复述）:
New tasks: 搞定这三本书，可以对学习成长这件事有个整体的框架知识，可以了解各个阶段的不一样，就可以提点如何精进。
- 《刻意练习》，已经读完，写好review。
- 《刻意学习》，开始读，目的为了了解整个学习成长过程中的各个阶段的变化。
- AAT，开始注意语音语调的学习 & Jason教口语的音标
“逐句跟读练好一句再进行下一句”第三天，今天继续使用Siri练习发音，逐句读给siri听，看看siri是否能识别出来，效果很好，而且看到siri能识别出来的时候，因为看到自己的发音被认可，更有动力了。继续这个方法进行～
