One Saturdaymorning, Frank visited an antique shop in my neighbourhood. As he had neverbeen there before, he found a great deal to interest him. The morning passed rapidly and Frank was about to leavewhen he noticed a large packing case lying on the floor. The dealer told himthat it had just come in, but that he could not be bothered to open it. Frank begged him to do so and the dealerreluctantly prised it open. The contents were disappointing. Apart from aninteresting-looking carved dagger, the box was full of crockery, much of itbroken. Frank gently lifted the crockery out of the box and suddenly noticed aminiature painting at the bottom of the packing case. As its composition andline reminded him of an Italian painting he knew well, he decided to buy it. Glancing at it briefly, the dealer toldhim that it was worth £50. Frank could hardly conceal his excitement, for heknew that he had made a real discovery. The tiny painting proved to be anunknown masterpiece by Correggio and was worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

练习感悟:刚开始看Scaler说的,只是读到一样的时间长度就完成基本任务了,我还以为多简单,谁知道我欠的账太多了,要读到一样的长度,几乎要练一整天,所以第一天读只能放水了……
