Auctions are【B1】sales of goods, conducted by an【B2】approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auctionroom to make offers, or bids, for the various【B3】on sale. He【B4】buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the【B5】bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called knocking down the goods for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.
The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin word "auction",【B6】"increase". The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils(战利品)【B7】in war; these sales were called sub hasta, meaning under the spear, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold【B8】the candle: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, the【B9】could be made while it stayed alight.
Practically all the goods whose qualities【B10】are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit and vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also【B11】for land and property, antique furniture, pictures,【B12】books, old china and similar works of art. The auction rooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous.
An auction is usually【B13】beforehand with full【B14】of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by【B15】buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a "lot", is usually given a number. The auctioneer【B16】with Lot 1 and continue in【B17】order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are【B18】to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid【B19】in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in【B20】the bidding as high as possible.
