[Q]的发音要领
舌尖紧贴上齿龈，形成阻碍，软腭下垂，作发[C]状，但不爆破，气流从鼻腔流出。[Q]是齿龈鼻音，声带振动，为浊音。
有人混淆[Q]和[R]，把[sin]读作[K!R]，纠正方法看10.3a
有人混淆[Q]和[S]，把night读作light。纠正方法：掌握二者的发音要领，弄清二者之间的区别。发[S]时可先以[(]开始，保持舌后上抬姿势不变，然后以舌尖抵住上齿龈，同时振动声带便可。[Q]和[S]的主要区别是：[Q]的气流从鼻腔泄出；[S]的气流在口腔内从舌侧泄出。

verses
The Sky So Blue
Who made the sky so blue?
Not I nor you.
Only universe made the sky
Not you nor I.
The Snare
by J. Stephens
I hear a sudden cry of pain.
There is a rabbit in a snare;
Now I hear the cry again,
But I cannot tell from where.
And I cannot find the place
Where his paw is in the snare!
Little one! oh, little one!
I am searching everywhere.
The First Snow
by Ruth Katzin
The snow is clean;
The snow is white;
The snow falls softly
Through the night.
Tile snow is soft;
The snow’s a toy
For every laughing
Girl and boy.
