Reading Comprehension
Read the following passages, and choose the best answer that can answer the question.
Sally arrived early. As she walked around the old house, she couldn't help feeling sad because of what was about to happen. It was almost a year since her dear grandmother had passed away in this house at the age of ninety－two. The family had very much wanted to keep all her things. Unfortunately, the family business had failed and left them with heavy debts. The bank now forced them to have an auction(拍卖) sale to repay their debts. The auction was to be held today.
In the yard, all her grandma's things were neatly arranged, including dishes, old furniture, and this like. She found the quilt, which had been in her family for over one hundred years, lying on her grandma's bed as she always remembered it. If the quilt could talk, she thought, the stories it would surely tell! Her entire family history was contained within it.
As the auction began, Sally waited. Finally the time came to bid(出价) on the quilt. Sally held her purse tightly and listened. The first bid was 6 50. She was shocked. It was so high! Quickly. other people bid and soon the bidding reached to $ 85. It was now or never. Taking a deep breath, Sally shouted out “$ 100!”. For a moment, there was silence. Hope filled her. She glanced again at the quilt, thinking how pleased her grandma would have been with her at this moment.
Just then, from the back, another person shouted “$ 125.” In a moment, Sally's eyes filled with tears. She had lost her chance. She couldn't understand why so many people would be interested in that old, torn, dirty quilt. The quilt was finally sold for $ 500 to a complete stranger. For the rest of the auction, with an empty feeling inside her, Sally just bid for a few small things that reminded her of her childhood.
After the sale, she went to the counter to pay for these few things that were now hers. The woman at the cash register handed her a rather large box. When Sally opened it, there was the quilt. “There must be a mistake. Someone else got this,” she said. At this moment she noticed a handwritten note attached to the quilt with a safety pin, which read:
Dear Madam,
Before the auction, I noticed you admiring the quilt. Clearly, this object was very precious to you. Your sadness at losing the bid was so clear that it broke my heart. Though you don't know me, please accept this quilt as my gift. 1 don't expect repayment from you. I only ask that you do a similar favor in the future for a stranger who happens to cross your path.
Yours,
A Sentimental Stranger
