单选题
Where is the conversation taking place? A. In a second-hand book shop. B. In a publisher's office. C. In a library.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] W: Well look at the words. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1893. Maybe it's worth something. M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents. W: But if this is the signature of someone who is well-known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars. M: Oh? I can hardly read what that one says. Who wrote it? W: The title looks like Harold Dobson. Wasn't he a politician or something? I'm going to buy this book and see if I can find a name looks like that in the library. M: Good luck. Your poetry book may make you rich. But I think my seventy-five-cent story is a better buy.
