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."
In the last paragraph, "Make your money stretch" probably means______.
选项 A、to spend more money on the net
B、to make money on the Internet
C、to get your money’s worth
D、to keep your money and spend it later
答案C
解析 本题为推断题。从上下文中对网络旧货销售的描述，在网上旧货市场买主可以根据自己的意愿自由竞标，以合适的价格买下。根据文章最后一段所说：你不必决定今天是否买卖任何东西，只是上网浏览一下。你也许会发现你需要的东西。网上的旧货销售会让你make your money stretch。选项A．to spend more money on the net与原文叙述正好相反，因而不对；选项B．to make money on the Internet只是网上旧货市场的一个方面；选项D．to keep your money and spend it later．不符合原文意思，只有C．to get your money’s worth(能你钱花得值。)最贴切，故C是正确答案。其他B、C、D选项均不符合题意。
