Lesson 55 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.

练习感悟：
pirate我读得是ˈpaɪrəts原文读得第二个音节是i的音。
thoroughly中原文两个音节读起来过度很连贯、漂亮。
今天就读了5遍，第三遍跟第五遍的录音发到群里，后面又听了一遍原文，发现了一些小细节跟原文不一致。周末只能见缝插针，不然完不成任务。
