三、阅读理解。
A shy 15-year-old boy was heartbroken to hear that his favorite teacher Kim or Miss K was retiring from her position. So she could do something for Beat Disease-a group that raises money for medical research.
Waylon decided to take the pig he'd raised and auction it off at the town fair and give away all the money. But after several people heard about his unselfishness, the auction took a very unexpected turn.

The boy had e-mailed his situation to several companies who would be buying-hoping they would bid (出价) higher than the usual price of $3 to 4 per pound. His plan worked. But then one of the bidders, Dan, had an idea and reached an agreement with his competitors. He won the bidding on the pig. Then he gave it back to be auctioned again. The second winner bought it for $10 a pound, but then he gave it back, too. Then, a third competitor, Dave Moll, was free to buy-he, too, unexpectedly gave away the pig back for a third time. Dave Moll, who is Waylon's father's boss, said, “I hadn't planned to spend that much money or give the pig back. But that's what the people ahead of me did, and I felt like it was the right thing to do, so I did.”
