【答案解析】[解析] 14-16 W: You enjoy visiting second-hand bookstores, don't you? It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. M: Some of these books aren't so old, though. See? This mystery book was published only 6 years ago. It costs 75 cents. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth-century poetry all of a sudden? W: 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 50 cents. W: But if this is written by 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 this one says. Who wrote it? W: The name looks like "Harold Dobson". Maybe "Dobbins"? 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 poetry book may make you rich, but I think the 75-cent mystery book is a better choice. W: Yeah, you take it.
