When I was a litt1e girl , my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother didn't use to work during the week , but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays , and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued. On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966 , we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won , but she didn't tell us why. At 2 0' clock my mother went back to work as usual , while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn't watching the match , she was listening to it on the radio. England won 4: 2 and so my brothers and l ran to the post office. As we burst in , my mother was standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon.

听力原文： When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening？" They are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evening staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holiday. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess together.
Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost--no television--so they don't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full, as they all come over to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everyone talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without a television.

D.When did people first begin to use stamps？ Who was the first to think of this idea？
In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.
Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in Englan
D.He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.
