To win in Formula One, you need the perfect driver and the perfect car.
60
Last year that meant Michael Schumacher and Ferrari.
61
Can the man and the machine do the same this year?
62
Will Schumacher and Ferrari rule this season, too?

Schumacher's Ferrari started the Australian Grand Prix in pole position.
84
There was one problem.
85
Schumacher put his hand up during the race.
86
At first, the team was worried that the car had a serious problem.
87
In fact, Schumacher was having more helmet problems.
88
But the race still went well for the team.
89
Schumacher was far in front of the other cars, so he didn't have to drive hard in the later laps.
90
He still won the race by over 1.5 seconds.
91
But there was sadness on the day because an official was killed in an accident during the race.
92
Schumacher won the second race of the season, too, the Malaysian Grand Prix, on the 18th of March.

So, the perfect man and machine made a great start to the season.
94
But will Schumacher and Ferrari celebrate at the end of the season?

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
