Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A

times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of
Mauritius, a small 23 in the Indian Ocean. 24 1847 an order for stamps was sent to
a London printer-Mauritius was 25 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 26 the invitations. A local printer was instructed to
27 the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words "Post Office" 28
"Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today 29 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

Questions 31~35 are based on the following passage.
Dutch treat is a latenineteenth-century term, and it originally refers to a dinner where
everyone is expected to pay for his own share of the food and drink. If people go "Dutch
treat", or simply "go Dutch", it means that they will share the expenses of a sc~cial
engagement.
There are many other "Dutch" expressions in English, many of which were invented in
Britain in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch and the English were commercial and
military rivals. The British used "Dutch" to refer to something bad, cheap and shameful. A
"Dutch bargain" at that time was an uneven, one-sided dealt "Dutch reckoning" was an
un-itemized account ; and "Dutch widow" was slang for prostitute. Later
centuries brought in "Dutch courage", for bravery induced by drink; "Dutch concert", for
discordant music; "Dutch nightingale", meaning a frog; and "double Dutch", for
incomprehensible language, or unintelligible talk.
Some of the expressions are still in use today, but some are not. In fact, in American
English, some "Dutch" expressions have nothing to do with the Dutch, but something with
the German. It was probably because of the similar spelling and pronunciation that people
made a mistake in distinguishing between "Dutch" and "Deutsch" (the German word for
German), when German immigrants came to America in the 1700s. For instance, "the
Pennsylvania Dutch" refers to the German descendants, instead of the Dutch descendants,
living in Pennsylvania.

A. that he'll invite you to a Dutch restaurant
B. that he'll buy your dinner
C. that you'll buy his dinner

A. the Dutch were underdeveloped people
B. Brilain and Holland were competitors at that time
C. The Dutch had many bad habits
D. The British were superior to the Dutch
33. With the information you get from Paragraph 2, make a guess at the meaning of the

A. you are in Holland B. you are welcome
C. you are in trouble D. you are lucky

A. people hated the German as much as the Dutch
B. people made a mistake at the beginning
C. people made a joke about the German

Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage.
Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and
airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the
United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students
to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the
college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at
Westlake, a ll0-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the
Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their
classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is

become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect
students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State
higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also
testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will
allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said," Here we
are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see
everything and do everything. '
