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

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

Stamps are printed things. The color 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 (塑料) 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, stamp 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 desiccants. On top of that, don’t take your stamps out on a wet day.

Do you often help the people who are in need?

One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went

up and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry your basket.”

“Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you.” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.

The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel（水果皮）. She threw it into the dustbin（垃圾箱）. “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip（滑倒）and fall.”

Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right. But almost all great things are made up of such small things. We shouldn’t wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these things that are full of love.

I have come to realize that life is a journey. Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.

When I was a little boy, I liked moving around.

I always looked forward to the next trip away or the next holiday. Maybe it is because I lived in a small and boring town. How I wanted the school holidays when I could go to the coast! There I met with friends and my cousins, and had so much fun. I also met new people and sometimes we would travel together exploring(探索) different towns and beachside places.

When I finished high school, I kept moving. In my first year out of school I traveled with a friend. We visited seventeen countries in Europe, working different jobs as we went. What an adventure(冒险) we had! No one could keep us still! When one place or one job became boring, we went off. If we didn’t like the people we were staying with, we said goodbye. In this way I went to three different universities to study and lived in five different towns.

All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family.

Now having a family is a different thing because you cannot choose who they are as you want. When you stay in the same place, with the same persons, you start a whole new journey. That is the journey of facing your mistakes and trying to make them right. Rather than walk away and meet someone new when you make a mistake, you have to say that you are sorry and try again. When the ones you love hurt you, you may feel angry or unhappy. But instead of making the decision to leave, you have to try to tell them how you feel and forgive(宽恕) them.

Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There again you are challenged to face life, doing things such as paying your bills and trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it all up and traveling again.

So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world. 106. 根据短文内容回答问题（限10个词以内）。
