Matt's hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries, like America, Egypt and China. On his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That's right——stamps.  
Matt's favorite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2003 except one. That was a 1974 special edition (版). It was very hard to find.
He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Matt very sad.
"Don't worry," his father said to him. "You'll find it one day."
"I hope so," Matt said.
"Be patient (耐心的),"his father said. "Don't give up."
Besides collecting stamps, Matt liked writing. He had a pen friend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Matt's pen friend, Philip, gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Matt received the letter, he was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked closely at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Matt was so happy! He told his sister, his mother and his father.
"You see," his father said, "You did find your stamp. So, you see, it's good to have two things in life."
"What are they?" Matt asked.
“Friends and patience (耐心).” he answered.

London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” todayThe “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fogIn other words, it was made by air pollutionIn London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal()that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winterBy the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the airA new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British cityWithin a few years, the air became much cleanerThere were no more “pea-soupers”

Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years agoHowever, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solveOne reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s housesIf these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobsAnother reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive
