Lesson26(2) Wanted: a large biscuit tin
They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener.
The response to this competition was tremendous.
Before long,
biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory.
One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow.
It weighed nearly 500 pounds.
A little later,
a man came along with a biscuit which occupied the whole boot of his car.
All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed.
The largest was 713 pounds.
It seemed certain that this would win the prize.
But just before the competition closed,
a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2400 pounds.
It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients.
It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry.
The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated,
for they bought the biscuit from the student for $24000.

练习感悟：久违了的感觉，今天的录制还算顺利，没有用时过长，一个小时多一些。尽管有些拗口，不过还算是比较顺利地录制完成。还是有几个小瑕疵的地方，比如后面部分有些停顿过长，有几个音没有发对。
