精聽建議：

先完整地把一條新聞聽一到三遍，爭取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精聽，力爭每句話都聽明白。遇到實在不懂的地方，再聽寫。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的詞都很簡單，不過是一些值得注意的連讀或者典型的美式發音哦，有些語速比較快。試試看，你能不能全部寫對？

（參考文本，歡迎指出錯誤^^）

Lesson13 A Piece of Meat
Joe Biggs was a butcher. His shop was in a village 1 the most beautiful parts of the south of England, and he worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, his father stopped working in the shop, and Joe had to work harder.
One Thursday a woman came into the shop five minutes before closing. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said, "but some people have just phoned me to say that they are going to come to dinner tonight, and I need 2 meat."
Joe only had 3 good meat in the shop. He had sold all the others earlier in the day. He took the piece out and told the woman it is ￡6.50.
"That piece is too small,"the woman answered. "Haven't you got anything bigger?"
Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it. After a while he 4 again and shut the door of the refrigerator with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, "This piece is bigger and more expensive. It's ￡8.75."
"Good," the woman answered with a smile. " 5 , please."
