Comprehension:

1.Because they have to go on repeating their lines night after night.

2.It was in the last act that the gayler came on to the stage and gave a letter to the aristocrat to read.

3.Because he tried to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn his lines of that letter.

Summary Writing:

After the curtain went up on the final cat, the aristocrat sat alone behind bars in his dark cell. The gayler went to the stage and gave him the “special letter” which was actually a blank sheet of paper. He played a joke on the aristocrat to find out if he had learned the content of the letter after so many performances. The noble looked at that paper for some minutes, squinted his eyes and told the gayler it was hard for him to see it under the dim light,then promptly returned the paper to him. The gayler pretended to agree with him and went back to get a pair of glasses and the usual copy of that letter.

个人感觉：从第二单元开始，课文变长了。用学第一单元那种相对放松的态度来看待这一单元的课文，我个人有些轻视了。录音的语速感觉也有所加快，我调整一些方法。先看问题和单词和短语注释，然后不看课文听录音，尝试理解出大概，一遍不成再来两遍，基本三遍能听懂大意。

这课课文，录音跟读加自我阅读加半背诵的阅读，从经常读错句子成分到完全能够破句阅读，一共读了7遍到9遍左右，感觉，很累，但有收获，因为语感有了，相信坚持的话今后会好很多。

作业部分，开头的回答问题没有意义。但多了Comprehension这个部分，我是掐掉课文自己组织语句写答案。Summary Writing难度上去了，没有一系列辅助你组织句子的Question了，我尝试完全用自己的语句做归纳

学习了！
