在古生物学史上，很难想得出还有谁比玛丽•安宁更不受人重视，但实际上还有一个人的情况跟她差不多。他叫吉迪恩•阿尔杰农•曼特尔，是苏塞克斯的一名乡村医生~~~

书本的朗读语音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好学着模仿哦~~~！！
因为原著为美国人所写,单词采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用写序号。答完一空换行继续下一空作答。文中需听写单词或词组用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。请边听写边理解文意，根据下面的TIPS训练听写。这样可以提高听力准确度，并为训练听译打下基础哦~~~
TIPS听写训练点：单词拼写，时态，单复数，连读，长难句（请边听边用符号先记下内容，然后自己回头组织语句，最后校对，不要逐字逐句听写）
Hints:
Sussex
Mrs. Mantell
rubble
potholes
It would be hard to think of a more [-1-] person in the history of paleontology than Mary Anning, but in fact there was one who came [-2-] close. His name was Gideon Algernon Mantell and he was a country doctor in Sussex.
Mantell was a lanky assemblage of shortcomings—he was vain, self-absorbed, priggish, [-3-] —but never was there a more devoted amateur paleontologist. He was also lucky to have a devoted and observant wife. [---4---]—a curved brown stone, about the size of a small walnut. Knowing her husband's interest in fossils, and thinking it might be one, she took it to him. Mantell could see at once it was a [-5-] tooth, and after a little study became certain that it was from an animal that was herbivorous, reptilian, extremely large—tens of feet long—and from the Cretaceous period. [---6---]

overlooked
painfully
neglectful of his family
In 1822, while he was making a house call on a patient in rural Sussex, Mrs. Mantell went for a stroll down a nearby lane and in a pile of rubble that had been left to fill potholes she found a curious object
fossilized
He was right on all counts, but these were bold conclusions since nothing like it had been seen before or even imagined.
在古生物学史上，很难想得出还有谁比玛丽•安宁更不受人重视，但实际上还有一个人的情况跟她差不多。他叫吉迪恩•阿尔杰农•曼特尔，是苏塞克斯的一名乡村医生。
曼特尔有一大堆不足之处--他虚荣心强，只顾自己，自命不凡，不关心家庭--但再也找不出一名像他这样投入的业余古生物学工作者。他还很有运气，有一位既忠心耿耿又留心观察的太太。1822年，他去苏塞克斯农村出诊的时候，曼特尔太太正顺着附近的一条小路散步，在一堆用来填平路面凹坑的碎石里发现了一样古怪的东西--一块弧形的棕色骨头，大约有小胡桃那么大小。她认为那是一块化石。她知道自己的丈夫对化石很感兴趣，便拿给了他。曼特尔马上看出，那是一颗牙齿的化石。稍加研究以后，他断定，这是一颗动物牙齿，那种动物生活在白垩纪，食草，爬行，体形庞大--有几十米长。他的估测完全正确；但他的胆量也真够大的，因为在此之前，即使在想像中，谁也没有见过这样的东西。
