Lesson 7 Too late
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

【??】發(fā)音方法
1）半張開嘴巴，雙唇略扁平，向嘴角兩邊略拉開。
2）舌身平放，舌中部伸向硬顎，但不要接觸到硬顎，舌部肌肉緊張。
3）震動聲帶，發(fā)出/??/音。
注意：/??/個長元音，這個音聽起來和漢語的"餓"相似，要注意的是在美國英語中該音后常常加上一個r的音，類似北京方言的兒發(fā)音。
