1、练习材料:Lesson24 It could be worse(49s)
I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost £50 and I felt very upset.' I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained £5o. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!’

生词和短语
练习/b/的发音:
这是一个“气破双唇音”,发音时双唇紧闭,软颚抬起,完全阻塞气流通道。
憋着气,然后放开,空气从肺部压出,双唇张开,气流突破冲出口腔,发出爆破音。
这是个浊辅音,发音时不送气,声带要振动发出声音。
请注意,不要与汉语拼音中的“b(玻)”来代替,那是个不送气的清辅音,发音时声带是不振动的。
英语中只有字母“b”会发出这一声音。
