【碎碎念：同学们在听第一遍音频的时候最好先不要看文本，采用盲听的方式，看看自己能听懂多少。然后对照原文听第二遍，注意每个单词的发音。第三遍继续盲听，再对照，以此反复，精听至少4遍，直到自己能够听清每个单词及发音技巧。这个方法能够帮助你提升英语的语感和听力。如果同学们在听第一遍的时候已经能够听清80%的单词，证明你的英语水平真的很了不起哦。】

In the State of Zheng, there was a man who wanted to buy a pair of new shoes for himself.

Before leaving home, he measured his foot with a rope.

When he entered a shoe shop, he put his hand into his pocket to find the rope.

But he found he didn’t take the rope with him.So he decided to return home to get the rope back.

But when he rushed back to the shoe shop with the rope, the shop had been closed. He got nothing.

An old man saw him and asked: “Why don’t you try on the shoes with your feet?”

The man said: “I would rather trust the measurement than my own feet.”
