  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.

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).

  Grace is in chocolate trouble! Last week her boss,Mr Clark,came back from Europe and brought some chocolates into the office.At lunch,when she went to the office refrigerator to get her lunch,she saw the box of the chocolates there,and she thought it was for them! But for the rest of the day,her boss didn't say anything.She kept checking the refrigerator,and back at her desk.She couldn't stop thinking of the chocolates.

  Then,around 4:00,she pretended to go for coffee,but in fact she went to the restroom and took out the box of the chocolates.She was only going to smell it. But when she had it in her hands,she thought,“It's OK;it's for us.Why not have my piece a little earlier?” So she opened it up and ate one and went back to her desk.

  A bit later,Grace found herself back at the refrigerator.She looked at the box and noticed the box still looked full.She thought.“It doesn't matter for me to have a second piece.”It was so delicious that she couldn't help eating a third,a

fourth...until suddenly she had eaten half the box.She felt really stupid.She was afraid that others would find that.So she closed the box and tied the ribbon (丝带) again.

  The next day,Grace knew the chocolates were for an important guest.When the guest opened the box and it was half empty,Mr Clark felt so embarrassed.That was a week ago.But he still keeps asking who ate the chocolates.And all the

others complain about that.Grace never thought this problem would get so big.What should she do? Should she give up her job? Tell her boss the truth? Just let it be? She's in so much trouble.

Have you ever seen a horse with toes(脚趾)?

Millions of years ago,horses had many toes.They had four toes on each front foot.They had three toes on each back foot.The horses were no bigger than cats.These small horses lived in the forest(森林).Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft(软的)wet ground.

  It was very hot in the forest.But the weather changed.It became cold.Many trees could not 1ive in cold weather.The trees died and fell.Open field took the place of the forest.The sun made the ground dry and hard.

  Horses began to change,too.They began to get bigger.This took a long time.On the dry hard land,horses needed only their middle toes for running.Their middle toes became hard.After a long while,horses had only one hard to on each foot.We call this hard toe a hoof(马蹄).
