18.Peter loved to shop used articles.Almost a month ago,he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them.As he was purchasing it,the salesgirl said,"Uh,look,the game box haven't even been opened yet.That might be worth some money."
Peter examined the box,and,sure enough,it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic.And he saw a date of 1973on the back of the box.
"You should put that up for auction (拍賣) on the Internet,and see what happens."the salesgirl said.
"Yes,you're right.People like something rare."Peter agreed,"I can't imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40years later."
"Don't forget to tell me if you sell it."the salesgirl smiled.
"No problem."Peter said.
After he got home,Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game.But he couldn't find it.Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search.The search result was 543websites containing information about the changes of the game.Over the years,the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors.He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game.Peter emailed some of them,telling them what he had.
Two weeks later,Peter went back to the shop.
"Hello.Do you still remember the unopened word game?"
The salesgirl looked at him for a second,then recognized him and said,"Oh,hi!"
"I've got something for you,"Peter said."I sold the game and made 1,000.Thankyouforyoursuggestion."Hehandedherthree 100bills.
"Wow!"the salesgirl cried out."Thank you,I never expected it."

8.A
The teacher who did the most to encourage me was,as it happened,my aunt.She was Myrtle C.Manigault,the wife of my mother's brother Bill.She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden,New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth,Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential,without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre--not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me.I had books at home,but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important,perhaps,Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers,she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist".My column,begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material,the discipline of meeting deadlines,and,after graduation from college six years later,a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favourite niece".Like a diamond,she has reflected a bright,multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
65.Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?D
A.She lent her some serious classics.B.She cultivated her taste for music.
C.She discovered her talent for dancing.D.She introduced her to adult plays.
66.What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3probably refer to?A
A.A book of great fun.B.A writer of high fame.
C.A serious masterpiece.D.A heartbreaking play.
67.Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly toA.
A.develop her capabilities for writing      B.give her a chance to collect material
C.involve her in teenage social activities    D.offer her a series of writing jobs
68.We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher whoB.
A.trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B.gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C.emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.
D.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning.
