The crowd of dealers, collectors, bargain-hunters and plain sale-goers walked about examining this and that and generally having a last look round before the excitement of the sale. Every piece was numbered and listed, and everyone had a copy of the list. The sale was to take place in the largest room, the sitting room, which had been prepared. A few people were already waiting there. The room was half full of chairs. These carried the highest numbers, so that they could be put to ordinary use till near the end. In front of the fireplace stood the salesmans desk, a box-like piece of furniture with four steps. At work, the salesman stood a meter above everyone. He was trained to notice the slightest movement of a hand, an eye, or even an eyebrow, any of which might signal a bid. Beside the desk were a table and two chairs for the clerk and the cashier. Many of the sale goods were already here, some from the bedrooms looking out of place. Almost in the middle stood a big kitchen table covered by a blanket. The salesman came in and climbed on to his stand. His assistants followed him in and took their places. “Ladies and gentlemen, ”the salesman said, “I have been informed to tell you that everything must be sold this afternoon. No price is too low or too high for anything, but a price I must have for everything. We are now ready to begin, and we do so with Lot Number One ”At this point two strong-looking men lifted on to the central table a large wooden chest. It seemed too big for a modern house. “Lot Number One is an oak chest. Now what am I bid for this fine old chest? Do I hear 20? No? 10 then. Do I hear 10? Come along, ladies and gentlemen, this chest is solid oak. The wood alone is worth 40, so make me an offer for Lot Number One, just to get us started. ”His eyes swung round the room. “One pound, ”a womans voice called. “One pound Im bid, ”said the salesman eagerly, “for this splendid chest. Any advance on 1 now? One pound Im bid. Do I hear two? No? Going at one pound then. No advance on 1? Going at 1. One pound. ”He brought his wooden hammer down sharply on to his desk. Sold for 1 to Mrs. Duke. Mrs. Duke is a dealer in second-hand furniture. 81. The pieces sold last were _. A. the chairs B. those at the highest prices C. the biggest things D. those with the lowest numbers 82. What use was made of the kitchen table? A. The salesman stood on it to conduct the sale. B.

Because she is a collector of old oak chests.BLearning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entrance exam.At that time, studying English was not a pleasant experience for me. There was no fun in the process of learning. The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams. And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.When I became a university student, I spent nearly half of my time on English. In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list “ proficiency (精通) as a main requirement.How did I improve my English? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course and studied like mad. After six months preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score. Later on, I had a chance to further my study in Britain. I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (没用的). When I first went shopping in a local supermarket, I really could not understand what the cashier was saying at all.It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point. Instead of just passing exams, the main function of learning English or any other language is communication. What is more, language does not exist independent of culture. Hence, mechanical memorization helps very little in communication. Thats why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years. By no means am I talented in any foreign language. I am still learning English. Why?First and foremost, my job requires me to use English everyday. Secondly, English helps me to have access to more information. Thirdly, as a bookworm, English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books. Last but not least, i
