Read the following passage, translate and write T (for TRUE) and F (for FALSE).
Like most other hobbies, stamp colleting can be exhilarating, time-consuming and, for the uninitiated, overwhelming. Consider this - it is estimated that in the last 100 years alone, close to one billion diffrent stamps have been issued by governments all around the world. Not only that, but some of these stamps are as rare, and as expensive, as Renaissance paintings. The most famous is probably the upside-down airplane stamp, valued at almost 1 million dollars. Also the result of a printing mistake is the world's most expensive stamp, the Treskilling Yellow, so called because it was originally worth three shillings when issued in Sweden in 1855, and because it was supposed to be printed in green, this being the only known sample in yellow. This stamp was recently sold at auction for 1.7 milion pounds, making it the single most expensive item by weight in the world. Of course, amateur philatelists would do well to concentrate on a sub-section of the wonderful world that is philately, such as collecting every stamp issued by a certain government in a year, or collecting every stamp of a particular design, etc. Any other approach to this hobby is a sure fire recipe for frustration and perhaps for ruin.

A. Royal It’s easy to miss this central hotel hidden away in a side street. Full of character, it is popular with families and business travellers but don’t expect luxury service. Unlimited coffee, but nothing more, is available in the morning, but there are food stores a short walk away. |
B. Mars Hotel Mars is located on one of the main streets, a short walk from tourist attractions, theatres and restaurants. The luxury rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished with antiques. An excellent breakfast is served by waiters in the top-floor restaurant, which also offers spectacular evening views over the city. |

C. Haussman The wonderful city museum is right next door to this friendly 19th century hotel. The old-fashioned furniture and attractive iron balconies all add to the homely atmosphere. The hotel games room will keep all ages entertained, and there’s plenty on offer at the self-service breakfast. Staff are always happy to supply information about what’s on. |
D. Windmill This medium-priced hotel surrounded by artists’ studios, lively bars and interesting food shops is right in the middle of the city. The underground station outside will take you anywhere, including the airport within minutes. Help yourself to breakfast from 8 am downstairs, or coffee and rolls can be brought to your room before that. |

E. Hi-Tech All costs are kept low here. Guests book on the internet, then check in and buy everything they need from machines. Breakfast comes in airline-style boxes. You sleep in a tiny cabin for one and roll up your bed during the day. A fun choice for backpackers, who get together in the lively club next door. |
F. Archway This 19th century hotel is in a busy area with plenty of restaurants. It was modernised two years ago and now has a fitness centre. Rooms are very comfortable with widescreen TV. There is no restaurant, but you can order decent hot food via reception from the takeaway next door. |

AMAZING NEW INVENTIONS
Every year, more and more amazing things are invented. Here are three of our favourites for this year.
A. Fukuda’s Automatic Door
Can you imagine a door that fits around your body as you walk through it? Fukuda’s Automatic Door was designed in Japan by an inventor named Rikiya Fukuda. It automatically indentifies movement and only opens just enough to match the shape of the person or object coming through. So, what are the advantages? It saves energy by helping to keep the same temperature in a room. It can also prevent dirt and other materials from being carried inside. As well as people, the Automatic Door works for small objects, like packages delivered to a post office, or for larger things, such as a car coming through a garage door.
=>c. It’s a device that knows when you are coming.
B. The Hand Roll Piano
Traveling musicians will be happy with this invention. The Hand Roll Piano was invented by the Japanese company Yamano Music. What makes it different is that it can be rolled up like a blanket. This makes it easier to carry and easier to store. The keyboard is 100 cm long but weighs just 1 kg. It has 61 very thin keys and is made of rubber. It’s convenient to carry, but it’s also a great instrument. The piano can be played for up to 15 hours on standard batteries. It has more than 100 sounds and its own speaker.
=> d. It makes entertaining easier.
C. The LifeStraw
Today, more than one billion people in the world do not have safe water. However, it’s been discovered that for the price of a cup of coffee, a life can be saved. The LifeStraw, which costs just $3, is a device for purifying water. It is able to turn dirty water into drinking water. The drinking straw was designed by the Swiss-based company Vestergaard Frandsen. It uses seven types of filter to make water clean enough to drink. It can prevent illnesses and it can also create safe drinking water for victims of hurricanes, earthquakes or other disasters.
=> a. It’s an invention that saves lives.
