Ⅳ．Reading Comprehension (30 points)

Passage One
How can a single stamp be worth $ 16 800?
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 Brish colony (殖民地) of Mauritius, a small island in the lndian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer-Mauritius was become the fourth country in the world to issue 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 marked the words "Post Office" instead of "Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
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、an island kingdom;           B、a British colony;
C、a province of India;            D、a London printer

A、not yet using postage stamps;    B、 collecting valuable stamps
C、;buying stamps from Mauritius;   C、printing their own stamps

A、the 0ne-Penny 0range-Red; B、a correctly printed 1847 stamp;
C、the Two-Penny Blue; D、both A and c
