Peter loved to shop used articles(物品).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 hasn'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 1973 on 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 40 years 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 543 websites 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 100 bills.
"Wow!"the salesgirl cried out."Thank you,I never expected it."

1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔術(shù)般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

(3)Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor.
D.It is forbidden by law.
