精听建议：

先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍，争取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精听，力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方，再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单，不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦，有些语速比较快。试试看，你能不能全部写对？

（参考文本，欢迎指出错误^^）

Lesson22 Riding a Bike
Mr. Holland drove to work in a car every day. When he was forty, he was fat and very soft, and he did not wish to get 1 every year.
One day one of his friends said to him, 'Would you like to be 2 , Fred?'
'Of course I would,' Mr. Holland answered.
'Well,' his friend said, 'stop going to your office by car, and 3 .'
Mr. Holland had not ridden a bicycle for many years. 'It's very dangerous to ride a bicycle again at your age,' his wife said.
But he bought a bicycle for his birthday and practiced riding every evening. He hoped that it would help him get thinner, and he got 4 from practice.
Then he began to go to his office on his bicycle. Sometimes all the cars stopped at a red light, and he went past them to the front because his bicycle was small. He was very happy.
Yesterday he stopped at a red light, and a man 5 behind him on another bicycle. He stopped too and asked Mr. Holland, 'Have the police taken your driving license away too?'
