The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.
Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.
Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.
If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
Television is now playing a very important part in our lives. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter? In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. (76) For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. (77) They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. (78) He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programmer which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is danger. (79) We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programmes is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. (80) It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.
