听力题 W: I enjoy looking through secondhand bookstores, don''t you? It''s interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of Children''s stories? M: Some of these books aren''t so old, though. See? This novel was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century plays all of a sudden? W: No. Look at the signature. Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It''s dated 1856. 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 name looks like "Harold Dickinson". Wasn''t he a politician or something? I''m going to buy this book and see if I can find a name like that in the library. M: Good luck. Your book of plays may make you rich, but I''ll bet my seventy-five cent novel is a better buy.
