作为中学生的你，在生活中碰到了两个问题：
1、你的父母对你要求近似乎苛刻，总要求你取得好成绩。尽管你已经养成了每天弹一小时钢琴的习惯，但父母却要求、甚至威胁你不要弹钢琴，多把注意力放到英语学习上；
2、你为自己的体重感到羞愧。尽管你已经听从医生的建议“多运动、少饮食”了，但还是在发胖。为此你感到很窘迫，明知吃减肥药对身体有害，但还想冒险一试。
请以Worried Angel的名义向Mr. Advice写一封120词左右的求助信。
注意：
文章的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入文章的总词数；
Dear Mr. Advice，
I am quite upset by two problems and don’t know how to deal with them.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please give me some suggestions on how to get out of the boring life.
Sincerely yours,
Worried Angel

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

A.　Goods for auction (拍卖) sales

　　B.　Definition of bidding

　　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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
