練習(xí)材料：

Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where--it is said--pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them ! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour--much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.

練習(xí)感悟：

前兩天嗓子發(fā)不出聲音就沒(méi)去練習(xí)，可是快好的那段時(shí)間，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己其實(shí)還是有些臭毛病。如果不愿意做那件事，會(huì)想很多理由不去做。（這句話貌似在哪兒聽(tīng)過(guò)。）

其實(shí)前兩天我的嗓子就快恢復(fù)正常了?？墒牵覅s突然不愿意做朗讀任務(wù)了。我在想，都過(guò)去好幾天了，別人都往后面讀了，我一下子還得追過(guò)去，練得好累，干脆就別練了。

這個(gè)邏輯感覺(jué)挺奇怪的。明明是我自己沒(méi)能按日完成朗讀任務(wù)，反而將責(zé)任推向其他人。說(shuō)到底還是我自己想偷懶。

我可以按照自己朗讀的節(jié)奏來(lái)，接著往后讀，至于能不能很快追上前面的人，這不重要。重要的是，我自己要把自己應(yīng)該最好的事做好。
