When it was sold recently in New York for $27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, “I didnt know it was so valuable. Im not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought Fisherman in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I couldnt see the artists signature. But anyway it wasnt the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame. ”“Its a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silvery sea-shells. They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and Ill never part with it.”“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didnt know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then. ” “Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleones signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one, so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.” As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department. Pitt was not happy. “I told the truth as I knew it then,” he said, “What else could I say?”And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is to be responsible,” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty”.8. When Oliver Pitt bought the picture, _. A. it was unframed B. Maveleone signed the deal C. he suggested that it was valuable D. it was the frame that attracted him 9.

What of it is remarkable because ofassociations in the memory it stirs up? It is a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specifically? The questions multiply (增多) themselves quickly.

The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happened to and around himself. H
