Lesson55 Not a gold mine

Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where--it is said--pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

音标专练：浊辅音[n]

发音要点：双唇微张，舌尖上扬轻轻抵住上齿龈，振动声带，气息由鼻腔出来。

练习感悟：接着lesson54读的，这次翻开课本看了课文注释，发现可以学习到不少语法知识，尤其是句子成分。提醒自己不要把朗读做成单项运动，在听力、翻译、句式分析上都要下点功夫。

这样，把新概念的学习当成一个长期项目。

一轮一轮搞，在Round1的时候先朗读，读顺溜。
