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.
【小题1】Matt loved the stamps from ______best.

One day , Mr. Jackson  took Paul to his favorite restaurant. It was a French restaurant. The  waiter was from France, but he didn’t speak to them in French.  ”Would you like to see menu?” , he asked in a kind way. ”Yes, please,”  Mr. Jackson said.
The  waiter gave them a menu each. They studied them. “ You can spend only twenty-five dollars,” Mr. Jackson told his son. The  waiter  asked  Paul,” What would you like, young man?”
“How much is the tomato soup?” Paul asked.
“ Six dollars,” the waiter said.” It’s very good.”
“How much is  the duck with orange?” Paul asked next.
“Fifteen dollars,” the waiter said.
“How much is the chocolate ice cream?”
“Six dollars,” the waiter said.
Paul added it up quickly. Six plus fifteen plus six is twenty-seven. He thought  he could have the duck and the soup, or the duck and ice cream.” I’ll have the duck and the chocolate ice cream, please,” he said to the waiter.
Paul said to his father, ”My meal will cost only twenty-one dollars. Can I keep the other four dollars? His father laughed.”No, Paul,” he  said ,”leave it for the waiter.”
