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!

練習感悟：

天并不是像往常一樣一上來就開始跟讀，而是先不看文章，聽一遍，這樣有助于集中注意力，因為根據(jù)之前的經(jīng)驗來看，跟讀基本上不怎么用腦子。
