　　29．B．理解推断题．由第一段Obviouslytheexpertsseealotofjunk，buttherearetimeswheneventheexperiencedprofessionalsfinditdifficulttohidetheirexcitementonmakinganunexpecteddiscovery可知，有的东西是垃圾，有的却很有价值，可推知只要是历史很老的东西都被带来了，故选是B．

　　30．C．细节理解题．由倒数第二段，"butnaturallyIwouldn'twanttosellit．Sentimental（情感的） value，可推知，情感价值是基于持有者个人的情感，故选C．

　　31．C．推理判断题．由倒数第二段itisveryrare，andit'sworthamere£500和ifithadbeeninperfectcondition，itwouldhavebeenworthtentimesthat-atleasttentimes，可知，若未损坏，它的价值是500的十倍，即5000，故选C．

　　32．B．推理判断题．由倒数第三段，"butnaturallyIwouldn'twanttosellit．Sentimental（情感的） value，和最后一段作对比，可知人们开始由于情感依托不想出售古物，但是听到它的价值还是出售了，可推知人们总是被钱所影响，故选B．
