Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as envelopes or packages with

stamps on them. It is one of the world’s most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up
to 20 million in the United States alone.
Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details, but the creation of a
large or comprehensive collection generally requires some philatelic knowledge. This is especially important for
those who intend to spend large amounts for stamps.
Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries that create limited runs of elaborate
stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The stamps produced by these countries far exceed the
postal needs of the countries.
Some collectors, observing the generally rising prices of rare stamps, have taken to Philatelic Investment. Rare
stamps are among the most portable of tangible investments, and are easy to store. They offer an attractive alternative
to art, other collectible investments, and precious metals.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best place for houses in a moon town
will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that constanlly fall on the moon
from outer space. This will be important on the moon, since daytime is so hot that food could be cooked in the rocks,
and the nights get bitterly cold.
Pioneer moon homes may be made of airtight plastic that can be blown up like a balloon inside the cave. The
reason for this is that the moon has no air around it. The pioneers will have to take along from the earth the oxygen
masks when they are away from home. But the balloon house it self will be filled with air. Perhaps the house will
have beds, tables and chairs, built into it. These can be inflated, too. So, people will sleep, eat and work on air. Moon
house building will be easy. Moon’s gravity is less than the earth’s. Everything weighs only one-sixth as much as it
does on the earth.
13. In a moon town, what is the best place for house ?
A. A space
C. Either a cave or a tunnel

B. A balloon

D. The air

14. Why will the pioneers have to take along from the earth the oxygen thay need for breathing ?
A. Because the moon homes are made of airtight plastic.
B. Because the balloon house will be filled with air.
C. Because moon people will sleep, eat and work on air.
D. Because the moon has no air around it.
15. According to the author, a person can become healthy and stay healthy by
