Ⅳ. 阅读理解(10分)
My hobby is collecting stamps. When I was only a baby, my mother began to collect for me. Of course, she didn’t let me touch the stamps. I remember that it was on my fifteenth birthday that she first put them into my hands. They were in four fat books, but since that time I have added three more.
How do I get my stamps? I have never bought a single one from a shop. My father sometimes brings me some stamps from many countries of the world. Also I exchange some with my friends.
In the evenings, what can be better than sitting down at a table with my nice books, putting new stamps in them, or, if I am too tired, only looking through the stamps in the books? Each stamp can tell me a different story. I can see pictures of persons and animals, Kings and presidents pass before my eyes.
But my stamp collection doesn’t make me think only of the past. Just as my mother did, I am collecting for my future child. What better way will there be of interesting him in history, geography and languages and of making these subjects live for him instead of being only things in school books? If I pass my hobby on to him, he’ll bless me for it, as I have blessed my mother for her wise action.
