练习材料：L1-(1):A Puma at large 时长：65s
Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.
ˈpjuːməz ɑː lɑːʤ, kæt-laɪk ˈænɪməlz wɪʧ ɑː faʊnd ɪn əˈmɛrɪkə.
When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted 45 miles south of London, they were not taken seriously.
wɛn rɪˈpɔːts keɪm ˈɪntuː ˈlʌndən zuː ðæt ə waɪld ˈpjuːmə hæd biːn ˈspɒtɪd 45 maɪlz saʊθ ɒv ˈlʌndən, ðeɪ wɜː nɒt ˈteɪkən ˈsɪərɪəsli.
However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
haʊˈɛvə, æz ði ˈɛvɪdəns bɪˈgæn tuː əˈkjuːmjʊleɪt, ˈɛkspɜːts frɒm ðə zuː fɛlt əˈblaɪʤd tuː ɪnˈvɛstɪgeɪt, fɔː ðə dɪsˈkrɪpʃənz ˈgɪvn baɪ ˈpiːpl huː kleɪmd tuː hæv siːn ðə ˈpjuːmə wɜːr ɪksˈtrɔːdnrɪli ˈsɪmɪlə.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her.
ðə hʌnt fɔː ðə ˈpjuːmə bɪˈgæn ɪn ə smɔːl ˈvɪlɪʤ weər ə ˈwʊmən ˈpɪkɪŋ ˈblækbəriz sɔː ə lɑːʤ kæt ˈəʊnli faɪv jɑːdz əˈweɪ frɒm hɜː.
It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.
ɪt ɪˈmiːdiətli ræn əˈweɪ wɛn ʃiː sɔː ɪt, ænd ˈɛkspɜːts kənˈfɜːmd ðæt ə ˈpjuːmə wɪl nɒt əˈtæk ə ˈhjuːmən ˈbiːɪŋ ənˈlɛs ɪt ɪz ˈkɔːnəd.
The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place 20 miles away in the evening.
ðə sɜːʧ pruːvd ˈdɪfɪkəlt, fɔː ðə ˈpjuːmə wɒz ˈɒf(ə)n əbˈzɜːvd æt wʌn pleɪs ɪn ðə ˈmɔːnɪŋ ænd æt əˈnʌðə pleɪs 20 maɪlz əˈweɪ ɪn ði ˈiːvnɪŋ.

练习感悟：一开始读的时候以为和以前一样也是一天一课，但是发现超出2分钟了，于是开始翻材料才发现知识读一半， 一半也不好读，句子明显变长，并且都是一些复合句。
每次在不好好读的时候都会被Davide 点评，真的好神奇，第二天就会注意很多，大概有点墨菲定律，一直想着不要点评，不要点评，最终就会被点评~~~
同学，你好！听了你新三第一课的朗读，单词发音比新二更清晰了，有进步!我把我能发现的几个问题指出来:单词spotted字母t发音时要浊化。单词oblige[əˈblaɪdʒ]首字母o发音错误，单词extraordinarily读的也不是太好。最后in the evening单词the在元音字母前读[ði]。另外朗读时元音字母发音还要更饱满，继续努力，加油！
