The first United States airmail stamp has an interesting story.Printed in 1918, this 24-cent stamp with a blue plane inside rose border became the center of much attention.One hundred of the stamps sold to the public became known as "inverts", for the plane was printed upside down.Singles of these "upside down" airmail stamps are now worth over $ 100,000.The story of these stamps began on May 14, 1918, the day after they were placed on sale.In Washington D.C., W.T.Robey, a man interested in stamps, decided to buy a sheet of the new stamps and so went to the New York Avenue branch post office in Washington.When the clerk handed him a sheet of the stamps, Robey noted that they were poorly centered.He looked at other sheets and found that none was well centered.The clerk asked Robey to return later in the day when more stamps were expected.About noon Robey came back, and the same clerk was on duty.He reached for the new sheets and handed one to Robey.The collector's heart stood still as he saw that the sheet which had been offered him had inverted centers.Excited by his find, Robey shopped other branch post offices for more sheets with inverted centers but found none.Then be told his friend of his discovery, and they, too, looked in the city's post offices - also in vain.Not being a rich man, Robey decided to cash in on his good fortune.He turned down the first offer of $ 500 from a Washington stamp shop owner and took the sheet to New York.There he planned to show it to a collector, Colonel E.H.R.Green, as well as to stamp dealers.Colonel Green was out of the city, and no one else wanted to bid on the sheet for fear that Robey's might not be the only upside down sheet.As the news of his great find spread, many people said that other such sheets had been found.These stories proved to be false.Robey left New York without having made a sale, and stopped in Philadelphia on the way home.There, dealer Eugene Klein arranged to buy the sheet for $ 15,000 and finally did buy it.Within a few days, Klein sold the sheet to Colonel Green, the same collector whom Robey had failed to contact in New York.There is a tale that the Colonel was in Texas at the time, and that Klein phoned him there and sold him the sheet, sight unseen, for $ 20,000! Robey's sheet had cost him $ 24, and his profit was $ 14,976 while Klein gained $ 5,000.Of the 100 stamps first bought by Mr.Robey, stamp collectors are now able to account for 96.What has happened to the others is not known.When a copy is offered for sale it is a major event in the stamp world.A block of four stamps has been sold for sale it is a major event in the stamp world.A block of four stamps has been sold for as much as $ 500,000.Few people have ever seen a copy.Yet no matter how much this valuable stamp is bought and sold, no owner can match the thrill that W.T.Robey had on that day in 1918 when he made America's luckiest stamp find!1、This article is about().A、the first-class stamps eighty years agoB、revenue stamps in the United StatesC、the first United States airmail stampsD、special delivery stamps2、These stamps were valuable because().A、the centers of them were "upside down"B、they were the wrong colorC、they were off centerD、there were so few of them3、When Robey told his friends of the find, they().A、tried to buy his stampsB、also went to look for such stampsC、reported Robey to the governmentD、none of the above4、The dealers knew that if there were other sheets like Robey's then ().A、Robey must be lyingB、there were no perfect onesC、the stamps were no goodD、Robey's stamps would be worthless5、Robey's stamps have seen by().A、many peopleB、no oneC、few peopleD、everyone

共用题干Spelling and WritingThere is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are , however , vastly different ideas about how to teach it , or how much priority（优先）it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is,how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest,clearly a bright child will be likely to"play safe".He will tend to write only words within his spelling range,choosing to avoid adventurous language .That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal ex- perience:"This work is terrible!There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible（难以辨认的）."It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing,but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay,which contamned some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors,but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas,an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement. Teachers differ in their opinions about______.A: the difficulties in teaching spellingB: the role of spelling in general language developmentC: the complexities of the basic writing skillsD: the necessity of teaching spelling
