Stamp collection was once considered a harmless and educational pastime for small boys. It still is — but with a difference. Grandpa and grandma have joined the small boys, along with shoe clerks, waitresses, truck drivers, college professors, businessmen, presidents and kings. Stamp collecting has today grown into a big business.
All the really rare old stamps are already owned by collectors who refuse to part with them. But even if these owners were willing to sell, few people could afford to buy. A stamp becomes valuable because it is "rare". Modern collectors with little money to spend have to create their own "rarities (稀有性) ". One rarity that stamp collectors look for is an error in the stamp. The error may be so small that it cannot be seen with the naked eye. If it is there, however, it makes the stamp more valuable.
Stamp collectors have another way of making their collection rare or unusual. They bring together as many examples as they can of a certain kind of stamp. What makes such a collection unusual is the time and the idea that went into making it. One may collect only stamps of one color. Another may collect stamps from a certain foreign country, or stamps connected with some person, place, or event. Still other collectors are interested in the tiny holes along the edge of a stamp. Another thing that makes a stamp " rare" is its postmark (邮戳). Collectors go to a lot of trouble to have letters mailed to them from unusual places.
One of the most unusual postmarks is the tin can postmark. Many years ago a man lived all alone on an out-of-the-way island. He put his letters in a tin can and left the tin can at a dangerous place for a passing ship to pick up. Since few ships stopped, and the tin can could not hold many letters anyway, his postmarks were rare.
Collectors have letters mailed to them from unusual places because ________.
选项
A、they can collect different stamps in that way
B、they can have different postmarks on the envelopes
C、it will show how brave they can be to get them from dangerous places
D、they have been to those places
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。文章第四段最后两句“邮戳也使得收藏的邮票与众不同,为此很多收藏者想方设法弄到从独特的地方寄出的信”。故选B。
