During the winter, most London auctioneers(拍卖商) have wine auctions. Some are of wines for21drinking, but most are of fine wines. Last winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were22down at £ 158 a bottle.1945 and 1961 are the two most23vintage years for claret(红葡萄酒). Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay. Not24ago, an American at Christies paid £ 8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806.

Sometimes, it is a matter of personal25by the very rich. At other times there can be a26objective. Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid £ 9,000 for a magnum——that is,a two-bottle size——of 1864 Lafite. He2730 people £ 1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was28ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant.

Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment. On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the29value of good wine to pay for his own drinking. A syndicate of four will buy a30of Lafite 1945 at, say, £ 2,000. Each takes three bottles. Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sell later at the31price as the three cost in the first place. That is, naturally, taking inflation into32.

But there is no33that a bottle of wine at £ 1,000 is a hundred times34than one that costs £ 10. Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is £100 a bottle. Above£ 100, you are paying for something35than taste.

  10. 根据下面内容,回答题:

    If the teacher asks a question, you are expected to give an answer. If you do not understand the question, you should raise your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.

    There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent, you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment. It is your responsibility to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teacher"s responsibility to remind you of missed assignments.

    You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to .class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.

    Be on time ! It is considered rude to be late. Also, it bothers other students. If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the U.S. it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. Most of the ELC teachers will give you a low grade if you are often late.

    Have your book out and be ready to begin when the class starts. Your teacher should not have to ask you every day to take out your book. Be sure you have a paper and a sharp pencil ready.

    If you are puzzled with the question teacher asks, you should _________ first. 查看材料

    • A.give an answer
    • B.raise your hand
    • C.repeat the question
    • D.ask for another question
