L30-2：The death of a ghost
Eric had been the eldest son of the family, very much older than his two brothers. He had been obliged to join the army during the Second World War. As he hated army life, he decided to desert his regiment. When he learnt that he would be sent abroad, he returned to the farm and his father hid him until the end of the war. Fearing the authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father told everybody that Eric had been killed in action. The only other people who knew the secret were Joe and Bob. They did not even tell their wives. When their father died, they thought it their duty to keep Eric in hiding. All these years, Eric had lived as a recluse. He used to sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had become the ghost of Endley. When he died, however, his brothers found it impossible to keep the secret any longer.

练习感悟：
练朗读练得耳朵都刁了，听外刊讲解的时候，总能听出讲解者发音不够的情况，而且现在更喜欢听全英文讲解了，听着连贯，听汉语和英文混着的时候，总觉得不连贯。
一句话，就是干。
