What is the rule for pronouncing 's' as a verb ending in regular verbs in the 3rd person present simple?

No need to get into the hassle of what's voiceless, what's voiced or what a sibilant/hissing sound is. Just illustrate using example letters/sounds from the list below.

Re: /s/ /z/ /iz/

---

- /s/ after voiceless sounds { p, f , th, t , k , h } except for [s, sh, ch] which are voiceless but they belong to another category called 'hissing sounds'

-/iz/ after the hissing sounds [s , z, sh , ch, 3 , d3]

-/z/ after all sounds other than the above.

Language Leader CDs

I attended yesterday's workshop. As far as I understood, The audio files for every unit are supposed to be on the Teacher's CD-ROM. However, It seems I can't find them anywhere. Teacher's CD-ROM - that comes with the Teacher's book- has only audio files of the tests. The CD-ROM is even named "Test Master". The classroom CD-ROM - that comes with the course book - has extra audio files for extra listening activities.
