    Have you ever returned a book late to the library before? If so, you may pay a small fine(罚款). How much would you have to pay if the book is returned 65 years late?

    A high school in Washington, US had to deal with such a problem recently. A copy of Gone with the Wind was finally returned to its library 65 years late.
