　　C.　Way to sell more goods by auction
　　D.　Auction sales in history
　　E.　Brief introduction to auctions
　　F.　Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
【小题1】______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
【小题2】 ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
【小题3】 ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
【小题4】 ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
【小题5】 ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 　 11　 problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 　　12　 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in a(an) 　 13　 diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 　14　 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 　15 that she does not want to 　16　 .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 　17 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. When I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 　18　 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 　 19 that my sister might read it!

　 The biggest 　 20 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 　 21　 about her in my diary, she would never know. 　22　 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend

might read her blog and get angry.

There are also 　　23 to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 　24　 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would quickly respond and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people stay in 　 25　 with her friends and to hear what the people around them are doing.
