  Stamp-collecting is a very interesting and useful hobby. You can learn many things about geography and history from stamps. Today more people collect stamps than ever before, and special (特别的) stamps are often printed (印刷) for these people.

  If you buy a new stamp and put it on an envelope (信封) on the first day it is sold, the envelope may be worth a lot of money in the future. Many stamps collectors go to the post office when new stamps are being sold. They put the new stamp on an envelope and then post the envelope to themselves.

  The number of stamp-collecting is now bigger in most countries than the collected number (数量) of trains and cars. People all over the world like collecting stamps. Indeed, some doctors say that everybody likes collecting something. Some children like collecting the tops of match-boxes and others enjoy collecting coins. Collecting painting is a hobby of many rich men, but they often do this to make money. They keep the painting for a short time and then sell it at a much higher price (价格). We, of course, don't want to do like that. We collect stamps for pleasure. We don't want to make money with them.

阅读理解。
     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software.
But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
