Do you want to collect stamps? Getting started on a new stamp collection can be fun. There are a number of ways to start getting stamps.
First be sure to ask your family and friends to save the stamps they get. They can just save the whole envelope (信封) for you or they can cut out the stamp part for you. Be sure to have them cut all the way around the stamp so they don't bend or cut the stamp. Also,ask them if they have any old letters in the envelopes. These can be some of the most interesting stamps you’ll come across.
You can also jump start your collection by buying stamps. You can also get a catalogue of stamps. By looking through the catalogue,you can start to see what kinds of stamps you like and would like to collect. Your tastes may change over time,but some people like to collect stamps from some countries or animal stamps,famous people stamps,etc. One of the cool things about stamps is that there are so many types and ways to collect them. You can find your own favorites and collect those.
Next you will need a place to keep your stamps. Stock Books (郵票簿) hold stock sheets. Each stock sheet has a plastic cover. It holds the stamp in place. You can see the stamps,and move them around easily. Stamp Albums (集郵冊) are usually preprinted (預印) . So you put the stamp on its preprinted area. There is often information about the stamp on the page.

Do You Need to “Edit Your Friends”？
Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should,not because you want to? If you answer yes to at least two of these questions,then perhaps you need to “edit your friends”.
Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real,close friends. As our lives get busier,it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see,people we love and who really love us.
Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions (物品) . It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have： Is it useful? Do I really like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? If the answer is no to any one of those questions,you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes it's an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with,but who,when you meet now,you have very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with,but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting,think “Do I really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no,say no,and make an excuse. That way you’ll have more time to spend with your real friends.
1. People need to edit their friends when.
A. they have moved to a different area
B. they have no time with their real fiends
C. some of their friends don't talk very much
D. their friends are people from work or school
2. What does the word “edit” in the passage mean?

B. Believe and help.
C. Miss and see.
D. Call and meet.
3. People don't need to edit their .

B. old friends
C. young friends
D. new friends
4. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3 ?

The shock of the recent earthquake in Pakistan has brought another shock ： the rise of a small,mysterious island,coming out from the water.
In the aftershock (余震) of the earthquake,people living in Gawadar,near the southwest coast,began to see a strange sight. They looked out into the Arabian Sea and saw a mountain-like shape coming out of the water. ‘‘ I could see this gray,dome-shaped (穹頂形狀的) body in the distance,like a giant whale,” Bahram Baloch,a local journalist,told the BB C. “Hundreds of people had gathered to watch it in surprise. ”
When the earthquake happened,the force was so strong that it moved the sea floor,releasing gas. This gas pushed the seabed,mostly rock and sand,upward and out of the water. This is how mud volcanoes (火山) are formed. The island that measures about 20 meters high,30 meters long and 90 meters wide is actually the tip of the mud volcano.
Is it safe? Although people have visited this new island,scientists have found dangerous gas coming from the newly formed island. “Our team found bubbles rising from the surface of the island,which caught fire when a match was lit,” said Mohammad Danish,a scientist,to Universe Today.
These mud volcanoes are not rare. But it's striking because this one has popped up in a populated area,and not far out in the sea. However,it's not expected to last very long. Most of these mud volcanoes are swept back under the sea within one year.
1. After the earthquake,what did people see in the sea?
A. A strange light.
B. A blue whale.
C. A mysterious island.

Whether you use your bike for transportation or exercise,vou'll enjoy these fun facts on this vehicle.
In 1817,Karl von Drais,a German baron (大老板) ，invented a horseless carriage that would help him get around faster. The two-wheeled machine could move by pushing your feet against the ground. The machine led to the creation of the modern-day bicycle.
Fred A. Birchmore,25, circled the globe by bicycle in 1935. The entire trip,through Europe,Asia,and the United States,covered forty thousand miles. He pedaled (騎車) about 25,000 miles. The rest was traveled by boat.
There are over a half billion bicycles in China. Bikes were first brought to China in the late 1800s. About 100 million bicycles are made worldwide each year. Over the past 30 years,bicycle delivery (投遞) services have developed into an important industry,especially in cities,where the couriers (服務員) are well known for their high speed and riding skills.
Americans use their bicycles for less than one percent of all urban trips. Europeans bike in cities a lot more often—in Italy 5 percent of all trips are on bicycle,30 percent in the Netherlands,and seven out of eight Dutch people over age 15 have a bike.
The Tour de France (環法自行車賽) is one of the most famous bicycle races in the world. Established in 1903,it is considered to be the biggest test of endurance out of all sports.

Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks,backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile,they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos.
But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today. It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modem backpack in 1951. He used nylon (尼龍) and aluminum tubing (鋁制管型材料) to make backpacks lightweight.

In today's world of modem science and medicine,a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular—animal friendship.
It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy,entertainment and loving friendship.
Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin,Ned,had a parrot called Sally,and John used to visit it. When he arrived,Net used to say ,“ Hi,John! ” We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits,Sally began saying “ Hi,John! ” when John came into the room. Then,one day,John turned to the parrot and replied “ Hi,Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.
Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases,animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases,they are used to teach children to get on and share with others,and even to teach them about animals.
If you want to know more about animal helper programmes,you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don't have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.
