2016高考英语二轮阅读理解精选（41）及答案

　　A

　　Jayne Fisher watched anxiously as her 17-year-old daughter Katie pulled her untamed lamb into the Madison County Junior Livestock for sale.

　　Katie was battling cancer. This was her first chance in months to be outdoors having fun, away from hospitals and treatments, and she had come with high hopes for earning some sizable spending money. She had wavered a little on her decision to part with the lamb, but with lamb averaging two dollars a pound, Katie was looking forward to a lot more than pin money. So she centered the la mb for viewing, and the bid- ding (出价) began.

　　That's when Roger Wilson, the auctioneer(拍卖师), had a sudden inspiration that brought some un- expected results. “We sort of let everybody here know that Katie had a situation that wasn't too pleasant，” is how he tells it. He hoped that his introduction would push the bidding up, at least a little bit.

　　Well,the lamb sold for $11.50 a pound, but things didn't stop there. The buyer paid up, then decid- ed to give the lamb back so that it could be sold again.

　　That started a chain reaction, with families buying the animal and giving it back, over and over again. When local businesses started buying and returning, the earnings really began to pile up. The first sale is the only one Katie's morn remembers. After that, she was crying too hard as the crowd kept shouting, "Resell ! Resell !"
