Ryanair is entering the corporate-jet market.

The Irish airline has customised a Boeing 737-700; the 60-seat aircraft will be available for hire by the hour.

正确的晨读复习姿势：首先我会先把单词念一次；其次再把单词组成的句子念一次。你需要做的就是：

1. 听我的单词，看是否能回忆地起它们的意思
2. 听我紧接着单词之后，念出来的句子，然后问自己是否能明白句子的意思。
3. 以上两步都没有问题的，说明本周的晨读你有认真在学习；如果以上两步有问题, 你则需要回到每天的晨读内容，再多复习几次。

这里有个小提示：千万不要平时不打卡，就只听周末的复习版本，因为我的音频只会覆盖一部分的句子。
