It was a lazy morning during the Christmas week. We were enjoying breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was a little girl, standing at the doorway with a piece of paper and a face that carried an expression of want, rather a common 1 during Christmas.
She murmured that the paper was her booklist and that she was going around 2 money to buy her schoolbooks. My children went inside and brought some 3 for her. This kind of incident happens very often in my hometown, 4 during Christmas.
From where I was seated, I could see her clearly. She looked about ten years old and she wore a dress too big for her. She spoke in a 5 voice and looked at me straight in the eye. Something made me get up and 6 her.
In answer to my questions, she said that her mother made hoppers and she 7 them before going to school. But the hopper money was not adequate to 8 the list; therefore, she was going from house to house asking for help.
Her voice told me the story; her eyes told me that it was 9 . I said I'd buy her what was on the list.
We drove to a nearby bookstore. She sat 10 , with a strange look on her face. When the clerk was taking all the things on the list, the little girl kept staring as if confused. Perhaps she had never 11 so many new things before. They were merely exercise books, pencils, pens and such things. She whispered her 12 to us. Strange, I hadn't been aware that giving such 13 things to one in need, could bring me such a lot of happiness.
As we drove back, I could see the little girl in the mirror. All the gifts I had given in my life never 14 up a face so much. She was grasping the parcel, smiling to herself. The total event made us all very 15 . Our Christmas became more meaningful.

| The charm(迷人之处) of stamp collecting is collectors are free to spend as much as they want on time, money and efforts. Collectors can collect stamps whether by country, by topic, or by time period. Many years ago, it was possible to collect all kinds of stamps in the world. But with more than a half million stamps already issued worldwide, and with thousands more being released(发行) each year, that is an unrealistic dream even for the minority rich. Great rarities(稀缺) also make it impractical for anyone to gain world completeness. This guideline may help you in whatever your collecting choices may be: Collect what interests you. If you are interested in the colorful new stamps of some islands, collect them regardless of their future worth. If you cannot afford to get all that's available in your field, limit yourself to what interests you the most. Many fine collectors follow that path, collecting stamps just for fun. Burton, a great collector, works hard on the stamps of Panama. He delights in (喜爱) another collection simply called "Cuz I Like Them", a collection of stamps with unusual shapes. Ernst Cohn owns one of the world' s top-grade collections of error stamps. "I am not a collector of expensive stamps, the ones only crazy people can afford and buy. I only collect inexpensive, easy-to-find stamps, which have one thing in common: a stupid error(错误) in their design. So far I have collected more than 1,500 stamps with at least one thing in common: 'the crazier the error, the more I like it'. " These fine collectors mean you may do what you please, without worrying about whether anyone else collects in that way.

Nobody is rich enough to afford the stamps he wants to collect. B. There are so many stamps in use and to be used every year. C. The difficulty lies in great rarities of certain stamps. D.
