L34(1):A happy discovery
Antique shops exert a peculiar fascination on a great many people. The more expensive kind of antique shop where rare objects are beautifully displayed in glass cases to keep them free from dust is usually a forbidding place. But no one has to muster up courage to enter a less pretentious antique shop. There is always hope that in its labyrinth of musty, dark, disordered rooms a real rarity will be found amongst the piles of assorted junk that litter the floors. No one discovers a rarity by chance. A truly dedicated bargain hunter must have patience, and above all, the ability to recognize the worth of something when he sees it. To do this, he must be at least as knowledgeable as the dealer. Like a scientist bent on making a discovery, he must cherish the hope that one day he will be amply rewarded.

练习感悟:
今天整体来说,时间会比昨日更加充裕,所以做的知识笔记也就更详细。在打下这一串字的时候看着大龙比起的大拇指,突然又想到s君突然涨价的社群。
我只是个学生,必然是无法进入那个地方的。那我未来成长的速度,可以赶上会费涨价的速度吗?
