L34-1：A happy discovery
Antique shops exert a peculiar fascination on a great many people. The more expensive kind of antique shop where rare objects are beautifully displayed in glass cases to keep them free from dust is usually a forbidding place. But no one has to muster up courage to enter a less pretentious antique shop. There is always hope that in its labyrinth of musty, dark, disordered rooms a real rarity will be found amongst the piles of assorted junk that litter the floors. No one discovers a rarity by chance. A truly dedicated bargain hunter must have patience, and above all, the ability to recognize the worth of something when he sees it. To do this, he must be at least as knowledgeable as the dealer. Like a scientist bent on making a discovery, he must cherish the hope that one day he will be amply rewarded.

知识笔记：
/æ/:发音时，双唇向两边平伸，张开嘴，嘴唇放松；牙床介于半开和开之间，上下齿间可容下食指加中指间，舌尖轻触下齿，舌前部微微抬起；这个音是4个前元音中舌位最低，但开口最大的一个；发音时，逐渐压低舌头和下颚，尽可能夸张短元音，实际发音中有相当的长度。
