First reading in 2011 - VOA --(01/04/2011)

Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

There are many American expressions about insects -- like bees, for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy, moving around in their homes, or hives. So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.

In fact, you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean. You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.

受大家的激励，我也来表表新年Resolution,上我的新年第一读。
昨天看看这两年的贴，发现道理咱都明白，缺的就是一个练，象小千和二号那样细致不懈的练。以前也读，但怕烦没有精读，结果效果不是很理想，唯一的好处是坚持了一段时间，和大家把方法论讨论了一遍。现在回过头来想，欲速则不达，精读是一个不得不过的坎。好吧，那咱就精读。每天练两小段，一周练一篇。以十周为期，看看效果如何。各位同学多提意见多监督。谢谢!
