▍原文
The youngest woman ever elected to Congress has a problem - she can't afford her rent.
After telling the New York Times she's waiting for her first pay cheque before renting an apartment in Washington DC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is again being called the "millennial Congresswoman".
On Friday Fox News presenter Ed Henry suggested the 29-year-old wasn't telling the full truth because she wore "multi-thousand dollar outfits" in a magazine.

什么是暴虐版?
暴虐版语音是夏老师以意群为单位进行语音示范。
1. 每个意群示范7遍
2. 在每次语音示范后,会留出足够的空白时间供各位进行跟读和练习。
暴虐版使用方法:
1. 小伙伴们需要先掌握生词的发音方式和规律(练习耗时,因人而异)
2. 再通过先单词后意群的方式跟随暴虐版进行练习
3. 通过反复的朗读,让口腔肌肉熟悉且记住意群的流利和滑动感,不断提升自己语音语调,连读技巧,意群的把握。
