In the Old West many people were tricked into buying fake gold mines. A dishonest man would buy some land and then put some gold rock where it could be easily found. The man who found the gold would buy the land expecting to find large amounts of additional treasure. But the defrauded sucker would never find any more gold. 在旧时候的西部很多人被骗买了假的金矿。一个骗子会买一块土地，然后放一些金放在容易被发现的地方。找到金矿的人就会买那块地以期望发现更多的宝藏。但这些被骗的傻瓜再也没能发现更多的金子。 编辑推荐：2009年下半年公共英语考试报名汇总 名师指导公共英语阅读考试技巧 公共英语pets三级全真模拟试卷 公共英语pets二级语法讲解汇总
