[听力原文] StressAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individ- ual. Some people are not afraid of stress, others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it. [听音关键] 根据短文关键词losing the art Of relaxation(失去放松的艺术),in the habit of rushing through life (习惯于来去匆匆的生活),hard to slow down(难以放慢生活的步伐),以及文中多次出现的stress(压力)一词,可知短文大意是有关压力产生的原因及其表现。[听写难点] 这篇听写的难度总的来说不大,难度主要来自下列难词的拼写:essential必需的,基本的;motivation动机;performance表现;managerial管理的。[画龙点睛] 由于近音词和连读的干扰,首句As the pace of life continues to increase容易误听成At the place of life continues to increase。这时就需要运用上下文语义、语法知识进行判断。短语“生活的步伐”为 pace of life,连词as引导原因状语从句,表明we an fast losing the art of relaxation的原因,理解了首句的意义,就可以正确书写了。
