Flow like the river of change

Little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert, ”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean, ”she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river. ”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot. ”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the breeze, and it can take you across, ”said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No! ”The little stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again, ”said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes. ”Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

阅读下面的短文,根据文章后的要求答题。

Many people believe that yellowing and wetness are the greatest enemy of stamps. In fact, are afraid of not only wetness but also light and dirty things. People protect their stamps in many ways.

To protect stamps, we should never touch the stamps with our hands. This avoids moving dirty things onto them. Stamps tweezers (镊子) should be used in all conditions.

Stamps are printed things. The colour will slowly disappear if the stamps are put in the light for a long time. So we should not put stamps in the light for long. Direct sunlight must be avoided as well.

Wetness is an important problem for stamps. Some collectors will put stamps in separate plastic bags. However, it is possible that some stamps have taken in some water from the air before they are put into the plastic bags. Stamps become yellow easily and rapidly after they take in wet air . To protect the stamps, some people also put the stamps into a special room which has a machine to keep the air cool and dry. However, not many people can afford that.

To keep stamps, stamps collectors usually put them under plastic covers.

It is a common and simple way . This helps because the plastic cover keeps the stamps off the wet air . It also stops the fingers from touching the stamps.

Some collectors prefer to store stamps inside a plastic box with desiccants (干燥剂)。 However, we should take care not to let the stamps touch the desiccant. On top of that, don’t take your stamps out on a wet day.

根据短文内容,完成下列各小题。( 1题完成句子;2→3题简略回答问题;4题找出并写下全文的主题句;5题将文中的划线部分译成汉语。)
