　　How can a small stamp be worth ＄16, 800?

　　Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors．A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value．

　　Do you think it impossible? Well, it is true．And this is how it happened．

　　The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony(前英国殖民地)of Mauritius(毛里求斯岛), a small island in the Indian Ocean．In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to London．Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps．

　　Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England, a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief(总司令)of all the armed forces on the island．The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius．Stamps were badly needed to post the letters．Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps．He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on stamps at that time, on the several hundred that he printed．

　　Today, there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues．Because there are so few Two-Penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16, 800 for one of them．

阅读下列材料，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

　　We each have a memory(记忆力)．That's why we can still remember things after a long time．Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them over and over again．Many of the great men in the world got surprising memories．

　　A good memory is a great help in learning languages．Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child．He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak．Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries．They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear，remember and speak two languages every day．In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too．

　　But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises．
