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!

【ɜː】发音方法
1）半张开嘴巴，双唇略扁平，向嘴角两边略拉开。
2）舌身平放，舌中部伸向硬颚，但不要接触到硬颚，舌部肌肉紧张。
3）震动声带，发出/ɜː/音。
注意：/ɜː/个长元音，这个音听起来和汉语的"饿"相似，要注意的是在美国英语中该音后常常加上一个r的音，类似北京方言的儿发音。
