练习材料：Lesson 79 By air 时长：80s
I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy.
aɪ juːzd tuː ˈtrævl baɪ eər ə greɪt diːl wɛn aɪ wɒz ə bɔɪ.
My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays.
maɪ ˈpeərənts juːzd tuː lɪv ɪn saʊθ əˈmɛrɪkə ænd aɪ juːzd tuː flaɪ ðeə frɒm ˈjʊərəp ɪn ðə ˈhɒlədeɪz.
A flight attendant would take charge of me, and I never had unpleasant experience.
ə flaɪt əˈtɛndənt wʊd teɪk ʧɑːʤ ɒv miː, ænd aɪ ˈnɛvə hæd ʌnˈplɛznt ɪksˈpɪərɪəns.
I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.
aɪ æm juːzd tuː ˈtrævlɪŋ baɪ eər ænd ˈəʊnli ɒn wʌn əˈkeɪʒən hæv aɪ ˈɛvə fɛlt ˈfraɪtnd.
After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport.
ˈɑːftə ˈteɪkɪŋ ɒf, wiː wɜː ˈflaɪɪŋ ləʊ ˈəʊvə ðə ˈsɪti ænd ˈsləʊli ˈgeɪnɪŋ haɪt, wɛn ðə pleɪn ˈsʌdnli tɜːnd raʊnd ænd fluː bæk tuː ði ˈeəpɔːt.
While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down.
waɪl wiː wɜː ˈweɪtɪŋ tuː lænd, ə flaɪt əˈtɛndənt təʊld ʌs tuː kiːp kɑːm ænd gɛt ɒf ðə pleɪn ˈkwaɪətli æz suːn æz ɪt hæd tʌʧt daʊn.
Everybody on board was worried and was curious to find out what had happened.
ˈɛvrɪbɒdi ɒn bɔːd wɒz ˈwʌrid ænd wɒz ˈkjʊərɪəs tuː faɪnd aʊt wɒt hæd ˈhæpənd.
Later we learned that there was a very important person on board.
ˈleɪtə wiː lɜːnt ðæt ðeə wɒz ə ˈveri ɪmˈpɔːtənt ˈpɜːsn ɒn bɔːd.
The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane.
ðə pəˈliːs hæd biːn təʊld ðæt ə bɒm hæd biːn ˈplɑːntɪd ɒn ðə pleɪn.
After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly.
ˈɑːftə wiː hæd ˈlændɪd, ðə pleɪn wɒz sɜːʧt ˈθʌrəli.
Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.
ˈfɔːʧnɪtli, ˈnʌθɪŋ wɒz faʊnd ænd faɪv ˈaʊəz ˈleɪtə wiː wɜːr ˈeɪbl tuː teɪk ɒf əˈgɛn.

知识笔记：/f/
1）上齿轻轻接触在下唇上。
2）把口腔中的空气透过唇齿间的缝隙，挤压出来引起气流和牙齿摩擦。
注意：/f/是个清辅音，声带不震动，产生的声音不是声带而是气流，要注意与浊辅音/v/的区别。
