    Last week the manager of an old shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter lay on his desk till teatime. Then he opened it and £10 fell out onto his desk. Together with it was a short letter. It read:

    Dear Sir,

    In 1935, I got engaged (订婚) ,but unluckily I lost my job. At that time a lot of people were out of work. Six months later, I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money.

        I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring. The girl took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger. So I left the shop without paying.

        My wife died a short while ago and I never paid for her ring. It has been on my conscience (良心) all these years. At that time the ring cost £2, so I think the ring may cost £10 now, and I am sending you the money.

               Yours truly,

                 A customer

    阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

    　　How can a small stamp be worth ＄16, 800?

    　　Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors．A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value．

    　　Do you think it impossible? Well, it is true．And this is how it happened．

    　　The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony(前英国殖民地)of Mauritius(毛里求斯岛), a small island in the Indian Ocean．In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to London．Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps．

    　　Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England, a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief(总司令)of all the armed forces on the island．The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius．Stamps were badly needed to post the letters．Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps．He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on stamps at that time, on the several hundred that he printed．

    　　Today, there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues．Because there are so few Two-Penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16, 800 for one of them．

    (1)

    When a mistake is made in the printing of the stamp, the stamp ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    will be thrown away

    B．

    increases in value

    C．

    is not worth buying

    D．

    is worth no more than its face value

    (2)

    Why did Mauritius print some stamps too? Because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    London stamps were not well printed

    B．

    London would not print them

    C．

    invitations to a big dance had to be posted quickly

    D．

    Mauritius had a very good printer

    (3)

    “Post Paid” means ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the same as “Post Office”

    B．

    the Post Office is the place to buy stamps

    C．

    money has been paid for the stamp

    D．

    the letter must be posted

           During the Second World War it was very difficult for ordinary people to travel by plane because the

           Mr. Brown worked for the government during the war. He acted as an ordinary cook but in fact he was

    plane, an important army officer came to the airport at the last minute, and Mr. Brown's seat was given to
    the officer, so Mr. Brown had to wait for the next plane which was to fly to London two days later.
           It was not until he reached London that the high rank officer discovered that the man whose seat he had
    taken was the very one whose report he had flown to the city to listen to!
    1. Is it easy or hard for ordinary people to travel by plane during the Second World War?
