1.B 2.C 3.A 4.C 【解析】 【原文】 People collect stamps for many reasons. Some like the fun and excitement of finding an unusual or valuable stamp. In 1856, the post office in Guyana found that they had only a few stamps left. So they printed their own special 1-cent and 4-cent stamps and used them until the usual stamps arrived. In 1873, a schoolboy found the last one of those special 1-cent stamps. He sold it to a collector for a few dollars. In 1980, the same stamp was sold in New York for seven million dollars. Collectors also like stamps with mistakes, because they are sometimes very valuable. Usually, they are only used for a very short time. When the mistake is found, new stamps are made. There are not many stamps with mistakes, but many collectors would like to own one. That is why stamps with mistakes are so valuable. We can learn a lot from stamps. They can make school subjects interesting. Pictures about the history of different countries are shown on stamps. You can also find out about famous events and people.
