Stamp collectors have paid ＄16. 800 for . A. fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds B. twelve Two Penny Blues C. One Penny Orange-Red D. one Two Penny Blue B WHY IS THE SUN IMPORTANT? The sun is a huge, hot, bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on Earth. The sun gives us light and heat. All living things need light and heat from the sun to live. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. We cannot make our own food, but plants can. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain(链)which starts with the sun. For example, Animals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from a food chain which begins with the sun and the plants. sun→ leaf→ caterpillar→bird sun→ seaweed→small fish→ whale(鲸) Sunlight means we can see during the day. If there was no sun, it would be dark all the time. Even when the sky is cloudy, the sunlight is very strong and it shines through the clouds. 【查看更多】

     Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one
inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value. The
mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in
the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was to become
the fourth country in the world to issue (发行) stamps.
     Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius' Government House, and
stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for
the stamps. He accidentally printed the words "Post Office" instead of "Post Paid" on the several hundred
stamps.
     Today there are 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 as much
as ＄16,800 for it.

A. was an independent country
