A. Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
B. Definition of bidding
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
小题1:______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
小题2: ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
小题3: ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
小题4: ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
小题5: ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.
答案
小题1:E
小题1:D
小题1:A
小题1:C
小题1:F
解析
小题1:E从第一句话可以看出是对拍卖的简单介绍。
小题1:D第一句话就讲了the ancient Roman 买卖是通过auction创造的,且讲述了auction这个词的由来,所以这一段是讲拍卖的历史。
小题1: A由第一句中all goods和下文举的例子coffee等可知这是介绍拍卖的货物。
小题1: C先是打广告advertise,然后不够就采用lot的方法,说明这讲的是拍卖的方式
小题1:F 由第一句The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of …提示了这一段讲的是拍卖人所得的利润。

Last Sunday morning, when I was having a walk in the park near my home, I came across a crew make a new film with one of my favorite actor. I didn’t bring my camera with me at that time, but I rushed back home to get. Unfortunately, by the time I got back, they have finished the scene and the actor could not be seen everywhere. I was really disappointing and about to leave when he walked out a building. He was right there in the front of me. I couldn’t believe my luck--- not only did I had my photo taken with him, but he signed his name on my shirt.

Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts of happiness throughout the day.
小题1:________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky.“But that just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and affects your self esteem.Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”
Get rid of pessimism.One of the most effective ways to cope when things are difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy.“What can I learn from this? Times are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids, adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”
小题2:________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive.Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier.Think of practical, everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier.For example, Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so offer to give a friend a ride.”
小题3:________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can weigh down hard on your family life.But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on caring for your loved ones.
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky.“But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on them.”
小题4:________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky.“Happy people all have goals they care about.”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn.But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals.Adopt and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says Lyubomirsky.“Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”
小题5:________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips.Your thinking is “I have more important things to worry about right now than looking good.”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC.It will go a long way in boosting your happiness.“Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”
