Lesson32    Shoppingmade easy

first listen and then answer the question  who was the thieft?

People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in largeshops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into alarge store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The womanfirst bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of themost expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the womansimply took the parceland walked out of the shop withoutpaying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop-assistant was her daughter. Thegirl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !

练习感悟：感觉一个字一个字的读，有时候跟读原文录音跟不上速度，一个字一个字的读又感觉怪怪的，搞不清楚自己的状态，很晚的时候悄咪咪的读出来的效果比自己把吃奶的力气都吼出来的效果好，奇怪。
