        People who collect stamps are called philatelist． Some philatelists try to collect very valuable stamps, and a one-cent stamp of the USA has sold for over $ 100, 000, and then been sold and resold many times, usually at an increased price． Stamp collectors may save only the stamps which they have themselves removed from envelopes, and other collectors are interested in canceled stamps． Now stamps attract still others． Stamp albums are available in most parts of the world, some with fine bindings（封皮）and selected series of various countries． Such albums are not for the experienced philatelist, however． New stamps are frequently issued by various countries so that an album with pictures of stamps is never satisfactory． Liechtenstein, a small country near Switzerland, issues new stamps solely as a source of income from the world's stamp collectors． Stamp collecting makes an excellent and educational hobby for children because in the course of following their hobby ,they learn more about history and geography．

    　　"What have you done?" the Prince said．He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son．The cradle was lying on its side on the floor．The clothes were torn and there was blood on them．

    阅读理解。
         A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all peo ple interviewed said: "YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, rai sing his voice for
    impressive effect." But I can tell you, only a small part of that I percent are telling the truth."
         I've met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的 ) yet warmhearted, plain
    spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
         Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important
    natural resource. Their en- ergy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of
    the world's factory.
         But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends:" When I grow up
    I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
         Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It's been
    happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan,( $169)
    per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career.
    There should be better ways to earn your rice.
         Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (装配). People
    just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder,
    why are people still standing in production lines?
         But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to make use of the low-cost labor situation and keep the
    economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
          But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory?
    1. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
    A. One percent.
    B. Only a small part.
    C. Only a small part of that one percent.
    D. The writer didn't mention it.
    2. Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?
    A. Cynical.
    B. Unimportant.
    C. Warmhearted.
    D. Plain spoken.
    3. The writer uses _____ to begin the passage.
    A. a lot of figures
    B. many examples
    C. some dialogue
    D. the result of a survey
