Read the following conversation and complete the tasks.
Liu Dong: The secretary of the Adventure Club said I should be friendlier and get on better with others. What can I do?
Friend: I think it’s a good idea to always smile at others. It makes them think you’re friendly and they’ll be willing to make friends with you.
Liu Dong: I will! Is there anything else I should do?
Friend: Always be a good listener and remember to make eye contact.
Liu Dong: Good idea. And what if I don’t agree with them?
Friend: You need to respect different opinions. Instead of trying to change others’ opinions, accept that they’re different.

===================================
1.Please divide the sound of the following words and read them aloud:
secretary[ˈsekrətri]　　Adventure [ədˈventʃə(r)]　　friendlier[ˈfrɛndlɪə] 1

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
正确答案: ['

se/cre/tary; Ad/ven/ture; friend/lier

']
解析:

在英语中，一个元音音素可构成一个音节，一个元音音素和一个或几个辅音音素结合也可以构成一个音节，因此secretary含有三个音节，分别为[ˈsek]，[rə] ，[tri]；Adventure含有三个音节，分别为[əd]，[ˈven]，[tʃə(r)]；friendlier含有两个音节，分别为[ˈfrɛnd]，[lɪə]。

===================================
2.When reading the expressions in bold (粗体), list out the words that can be linked together or dropped out.1

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
正确答案: ['

连读的单词：can I, think it’s a, good idea, what if, instead of
失爆的单词：what, should, and

']
解析:

根据发音规则，相邻的词中，前一个词的末尾是辅音，后一个词的开头是元音时，辅音和元音可以连读构成一个音节，因此在粗体部分的句子中，can I可发生连读，读作[kænaɪ]；think it’s a可发生连读，读作[θɪŋkɪtsə]；good idea可发生连读，读作[ɡʊdaɪˈdɪə]；what if可发生连读，读作[wɒtɪf]；instead of可发生连读，读作[ɪnˈstedəv]。根据发音规则，当前一个单词是以/p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/这6个爆破音结尾时，后一个单词以辅音开头时，前面的爆破音会失去爆破，因此在粗体部分的句子中，单词What词尾的爆破音[t]遇到后一个以辅音[k]开头的单词can，就会失去爆破；单词should词尾的爆破音[d]遇到后一个以辅音[d]开头的单词do，就会失去爆破；单词and词尾的爆破音[d]遇到后一个以辅音[w]开头的单词what，就会失去爆破。

===================================
3.Which words may be stressed in the underlined sentence? Is it a falling tone or rising tone? 1

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
正确答案: ['

Always be, good listener, remember, make eye contact.

Falling tone.

']
解析:

根据句子的重读规则，重读的单词在句子中有重要意义，叫做实词，通常是名词(noun)、实意动词(verb)、形容词(adjective)、副词(adverb)及特殊疑问词(wh- word)等，因此划线部分Always be, good listener, remember, make eye contact都可能会被重读，且根据上下文可知，此句为肯定语气，用降调——falling tone。

===================================
4.Read the conversation above. Pay attention to the stressing, linking and dropping.1

++++++++++++++++++++++++++
正确答案: ['

略。

']
解析:

点拨：根据说话人的目的与态度，选择恰当的重读词以及语调；根据发音规则，选择恰当的发音技巧，如连读和失爆，可以使发音更加流利。
