--- Lesson 55 Not a gold mine |
[00:05.960] |
--- First listen and then answer the question. |
[00:11.520] |
--- What did the team find? |
[00:16.080] |
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. |
[00:21.360] |
A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. |
[00:32.640] |
The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. |
[00:42.320] |
The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. |
[00:49.160] |
Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. |
[00:57.960] |
The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. |
[01:08.680] |
Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. |
[01:15.040] |
They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. |
[01:20.840] |
The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. |
[01:29.320] |
In spite of this, many people are confident that'The Revealer'may reveal something of value fairly soon. |
