 Nick's family had just moved to town, and today was his first day in a new school.

 Nick was nervous. He did not have any friends at this school.

Nick's mother walked with him to school. He walked into the classroom and chose a desk at the back of the class. Nick's new teacher came over to him and said, “Hello, I am Mrs. Smith. You must be Nick. ”

 He shyly nodded his head. Then Mrs. Smith said, “Class, I'd like you to meet Nick. His family just moved here, and he is going to be in our class.”

 Nick was happy that Mrs. Smith introduced him to the class. He was even happier when the boy next to him said, “Hi, Nick. I'm Marcus.”

 The first part of the day went by very quickly. Mrs. Smith gave Nick all of the books he would need and showed him what chapter（章节）the class was working on.

 Soon, the lunch bell rang. Nick got nervous again. He did not want to eat his lunch by himself. As he walked into the lunchroom with the rest of his classmates, he started looking for a place to sit. Marcus invited Nick to sit with him.

After school, Marcus asked Nick where he lived. Nick lived only three houses down the street from Marcus, so the boys agreed to walk home together. After they finished their homework, Marcus came over to Nick's house to play catch. When Nick went to bed that night, he could hardly wait for school the next day.

    Many people believe that not only wetness, but also light and dirty things are the greatest enemies of stamps. People protect their stamps in several different ways.

    In fact, we should never touch the stamps with our hands. This avoids moving dirty things onto them. Stamp tweezers (镊子) should be used in all conditions.

    Stamps are printed things. The colour will slowly disappear if they are put in the light for a long time. So we should not put stamps in the light for long. Direct sunlight must be avoided as well.

    Wetness is an important problem for stamps. Some collectors will put stamps in separate plastic bags. However, it is possible that some stamps have taken in some water from the air before they are put into the plastic bags. Stamps become yellow easily and rapidly after they take in wet air. To protect the stamps, some people also put the stamps into a special room which has a machine to keep the air cool and dry. However, not many people can afford that.

    To keep stamps, stamp collectors usually put them under plastic covers. It is a common and simple way. This helps because the plastic cover keeps the stamps off the wet air. It also stops the fingers from touching the stamps.

    Some collectors prefer to store stamps inside a plastic box with desiccants (干燥剂). However, we should take care not to let the stamps touch the desiccants. On top of that, don't take your stamps out on a wet day.
