Lesson 15 Good news
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

练习感悟:
天并不是像往常一样一上来就开始跟读,而是先不看文章,听一遍,这样有助于集中注意力,因为根据之前的经验来看,跟读基本上不怎么用脑子。
