  • B. An inscription.
  • C. An old envelope.
  • D. A list of prices.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: I enjoy going 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 mystery was published only six years ago. It costs seventy-five cents. You can't beat that. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth century poetry all of a sudden? W: No. Look at the inscription. 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 name looks like "Harold Dobson". May be "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'll bet my seventy-five-cent mystery is a better buy.
