Today 29 only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left, fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues.Because of the Two Penny Blue's rareness and age, collectors have paid 30 $16800 for it.

Take a second long piece of paper. Twist the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Mobius band(带子). For people studying maths, this band is uncommon.
This strange band was first made in the 1800s by a German man namedAugust. Mobius. Mr. Mobius studied maths. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with maths. Understand it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself.
If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on one side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces. However, if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band, you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Mobius band must have only one surface.
It is also very interesting to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Mobius band in half once down the line you drew, you do not get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut this ring in half along the middle of the band again, you get two connected(相连的)Mobius bands.

2、Why didAugust Mobius make this ring?()

3、How can you change the two surfaces of a long piece of paper into one surface?()
A、Glue the ends of the long piece of paper
B、Cut the two surfaces of the paper into one
C、Draw a line in the middle of the paper
D、Twist the paper once and glue the two ends
4、What do you get if you cut the Mobius band along the middle?()
A、A long piece of paper
B、Two long pieces of paper
C、Two Mobius bands
D、One large twisted ring
5、Which of the following is NOT true?()
A、You can use any long piece of paper to make a Mobius band

The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children.The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields.Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside.Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things.Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that makes the seaside what it is.

In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation day. Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance.
Several days before Homecoming Day,students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team,and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths and sell lemonade,apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over,the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is great honor to be chosen.
Homecoming Day is a happy day,but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses,the students still enjoy Homecoming Day. Some stay at the school to dance,and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering. (240 words)
