问题     Do you have extra stuff on your hands? The Internet can help you turn that extra stuff into cash. Before the Internet, Americans sold stuff from their garages or yards. Online shopping sites now provide a new place for people around the world.
    eBay was the first site where individual sellers could sell goods online. Ten years later, eBay now has over 150 million users in more than 30 countries.
    This trend has spread quickly around the globe. Major companies now see the Asian market as having the most potential. American companies Amazon and Yahoo both recently partnered with large Chinese sites.
    Selling on an Internet auction (拍卖) is actually quite simple. First, users pay a fee to list their goods. Buyers then bid on the item. When the auction closes, the highest bidder wins. The seller is then responsible for shipping it. After the sale, the buyer and seller can post comments about the sale on each other’s profile.
    Don’t want an auction to decide the price for you? Choose a site where you can decide instead. Craigslist has community-based sites worldwide where users can list items for sale with a suggested price.
    Ready to put your used stuff online? First, find a Web site that serves your area. eBay and Yahoo Auctions both have Web sites in many Asian countries. Second, make sure to market your item well. When writing the description, use accurate and specific details. Include a picture; buyers like to see the product before purchasing it.
    You needn’t decide to buy or sell anything today, but go ahead and start browsing. You might find something you could use. Make your money stretch with these "online garage sales."
What does a buyer do on an Internet auction?

选项 A、To list the goods.
B、To bid on the item.
C、To ship the goods.
D、To pay a fee first.

答案B

解析 本题为细节题。本题的问题是“买者在网上拍卖中做什么?”。解题关键是第四段内容: “Selling on an Internet auction is actually quite simple…The seller is then responsible for shipping it.”讲述了网上买卖的过程,首先卖家付费通过网络列出商品,然后买家竞拍,出价最高者购得商品,最后由卖家负责送货。选项A.不准确,不是买家buyer列出商品,而是“paya fee to list their goods”;,选项C是网上交易之后做的事;选项D是网上交易之前做的事。只有选项B表达的“竞拍商品”符合原文意思,是正确答案。
