1
Unit 7.
2
Not the normal news.
3
Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society.
4
However, there is a place where readers can find some good news.
5
That place is the website called Happy News.
6
The man behind Happy News is Byron Rees.
7
Rees set up Happy News because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.
8
Rees said about Happy News, The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery and despair.
9
We're trying to balance out the scale.
10
Not everyone agrees with Rees' view though.
11
Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people.
12
People need to know about issues or problems in today's society.
13
Then people are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives.
14
Rees said that Happy News is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems.
15
Happy News is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today's world.
16
By the end of its first month online, Happy News had more than 70,000 unique readers.
17
About 60% of those readers were women.
18
Something else unique makes Happy News different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet.
19
Unlike many other websites, Happy News gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.
20
Sources of the News Listen to the dialogue and choose the best answer.
21
Where do you think Happy News gets all of the information it reports on?
22
The information I read said that on the Happy News website you will find stories from other news media sources.
23
The stories are just read by the editors who work for
24
Happy News first to make sure they are okay for the website.
25
So, they just look for happy stories from other news sources and collect those on their website?
26
That's right.
27
Also, they may post stories from regular people, as long as the stories are written like news reports.
28
So, I could write a story for Happy News?
29
You could, but be sure to provide sources for the information in your story.
30
The editors at Happy News have to check your facts before they'll post your story.
31
Thank you.

逐步影子跟读指南
为了提高您的英语发音并掌握使用这些短语的能力，我们建议采用英语影子跟读的练习方法。以下是具体步骤：
- 观看视频： 首先，您可以反复观看与本单元相关的YouTube视频。看YouTube学英语是一个不错的选择，能帮助您理解内容。
- 暂停并模仿： 在特定的短语或句子结束后，暂停视频，尝试模仿说话者的语音和语调。这是进行shadow speech的重要环节。
- 分段练习： 将视频分为若干部分，逐段进行练习。先跟读简短的句子，逐步增加到完整的段落。
- 录音自评： 用手机或录音设备录下自己的声音，和视频中的说话者进行对比，以发现发音和流利度上的差异。
- 持续反馈： 定期向老师或语言伙伴请教，并获取反馈，以便更好地调整练习方法，提高英语发音。
通过这些练习，您将能够提升自己的影子发音能力，增强语言的流畅性，快速掌握各类日常会话短语。记得坚持练习，让学习过程变得轻松而有趣！
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。
