Lesson 24-1 A skeleton in the cupboard

We often read in novels how a seemingly respectable person or family has some terrible secret which has been concealed from strangers for years. The English language possesses a vivid saying to describe this sort of situation. The terrible secret is called 'a skeleton in the cupboard'. At some dramatic moment in the story, the terrible secret becomes known and a reputation is ruined. The reader's hair stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel that the heroine a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, in her youth, poisoned every one of her five husbands.

It is all very well for such things to occur in fiction. To varying degrees, we all have secrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn, but few of us have skeletons in the cupboard. The only person I know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very pound of the fact. George studied medicine in his youth. Instead of becoming a doctor, however, he became a successful writer of detective stories.

今天把三对摩擦音都学了。

1. 摩擦音  /f,  v/

发音要领：

上齿同下唇稍靠内侧的位置接触，气流通过唇齿间的缝隙的摩擦发音。

/f/为清辅音，声带不振动；/v/为浊辅音，声带振动。

/f/为强长辅音，/v/为弱短辅音。/f/有缩短前面元音的功能。

2. /s,    z/

发音要领：

舌叶与上齿龈轻轻接触，发生紧密接触的部分是舌的边缘和上边齿。

舌面沿前后中心线形成一个狭槽，供气流泄出。

3. /θ,    ð/

发音要领：

舌尖和舌边与上门牙的边缘和内侧轻微接触，而与上边齿紧密接触，气流从舌头的前部表面和上门牙之间逸出产生摩擦。

练习感悟：

下午朗读效率太低了，还是得放在早上，想个办法，一定能行。

今天的文章对我来说有点难，最近在纠正sh的发音，满脑子都是它，因为发现舌尖会朝下，所以一直在纠正。刚好这篇文章好多sh音，一次性多多练习啦。

边写边纠正，效果杠杠的
