　　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.

A．True or False?

1．Stamping-collecting is interesting and useful because we can make a lot of money with them.

2．Many stamp collectors send letters to themselves. In this way they have collected many special stamps.

3．There are more people collecting the tops of match-boxes than collecting the stamps.

4．Many rich men like collecting coins.

5．We keep stamps, coins and tops of match-boxes for pleasure.

B．Fill in the blanks.

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins（企鹅）may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased(减少) by 30% since 1987.
　　Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America，New Zealand，Australia and South Africa. Many live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly，but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill(磷虾).
　　The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce(繁殖).　 Besides，many adult penguins die of hunger.
　　Widespread(广泛的) fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks(漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物) in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.
　　News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild.　 Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.
