精听建议：

先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍，争取掌握大意。然后，一句一句精听，力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方，再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单，不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦，有些语速比较快。试试看，你能不能全部写对？

（参考文本，欢迎指出错误^^）

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."
