You dont have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources for free.Getting StartedIf you have no stamps at all, you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get stared. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like “worldwide stamps” in the searching box. However, even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps, my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many sources for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.Sorting StampsAssume (假设) you have some stamps and they are in paper. Before you take them from the paper, you should sort the stamps for example, by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper, they become easy to bend, crease and tear easily.1. This passage is written for people who_ .A. have no money to collect stampsB. want to sell their stampsC. want to collect stampsD. dont know how to sort stamps2. The writer didnt mention collecting stamps from a _.A. post office B. shopping websiteC.hobby shop D. stamp dealer3.According to the writer, at the very beginning, stamp-collecting beginners shouldnt_.A. collect common stampsB. borrow some stamps from their friendsC. act as an inexperienced collectorD. spend a lot of money in buying stampsBIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just dont want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible. Dont use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Dont wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off thefish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . Release the fish when it begins tostruggle and is able to swim.Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you aregoing to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.4. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they _ A. dont want it to die B. hope it will grow quickly C. want to practice their fishing skills D. dont want to have it as food 5. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill? A. Taking the hook off it. B. Touching its evesC. Removing its scales. D. Holding it in your hand.6.

CI believe that my country, Poland, is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parentsto some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. Its not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept-thats why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food awayeven though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. Its widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together-extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得) ! You can share other members troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time! In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. Whats more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.8. When the writer was a child, he / she _. A. began to realize the importance of food B. found people were crazy about bread C. thought that cutting bread was amazing D. learned people hardly baked their own bread9. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because A. he/she makes food from scratch B. some customs still have effect on him/her C. his/her parents would blame him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers 10. Which of the following statements is not the writers opinion? _ A. People will have a great chance to share feelings with each other. B. People only farmers will have big meal now. C. People will feel so grateful when having big meal together. D. People seldom have big meal now for it is too difficult. 11. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, _. A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long time B. the whole family often have meals together nowadays C. its common for women to get together to cook for a few days D. family members can know more about each other by having meals together DMuseum of the Moving Image(MMI)(Monday Closed)As the best museum in New York City and with a balance of hands-on(实际操作的)activities and information, its the rare bird that can entertain and educate people of different ages.
