1、A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his
fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make

do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things
there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could
not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been

3. Antique dealers have an
end of the year both will claim they have made a million. It's a story which sums up
Objects, some precious, some whose only value is the old age, pass from hand to hand in search
of home.
Buying an antique is always an event. Collectors, bitten by the bug, develop a selective
photographic memory. Point to any cherished object they own and they can tell you when they
bought it, where, form whom and for how much. They may even remember what they ate for
lunch that day and whether it rained.
Britain is the world's biggest antique treasure store. Across the country, any day of the week,
there may be several dozen auctions taking place. Even a small town will boast a couple of shops.
In historic centres like Bath, the numbers may run into hundreds, not counting the stall holders
packing specialists markets there, like Guinea Lane.
In theory, the public's best chance of coming out ahead is in the sale rooms. They may be
very famous, such as Sotheby's, Christies or Phillip's or lively provincial firms like Hobbs and
Bath. Bidding is rapid and the auctioneer will try and process as many as 140 lots an hour. Given
the pressure and the tensions, it's more than sensible to view the items to be sold in advance,
either the previous day or before the sale begins. Then is the time to decide how far you are
prepared to go and not to decide in the heat of battle.

11. The joke is told to __B__.
A) reveal the nature of the trade of auction
B) play a trick on the antique dealers
C) show that antique dealers often act against the law
D) show that antique dealers can find antique anywhere

12. It is NOT mentioned that antique collectors will remember __D__.
