Collector's Corner
People collect a wide variety of things，from the obvious ones like stamps or coins，to the less common ones，such as beer bottles.Some collectors spend hours looking through junk shops and build a collection for a few pence per object，while other collectors might spend thousands of pounds on antiques(古董)，fine china or rare paintings.
Some people collect for money，but most people do it for fun.Collecting is basically illogical(不合逻辑的).If you simply want to listen to a singer's first record，you can get a copy at most record shops.A collector，however，will want to own an original 1955 landdisc，and will be willing to pay for it.
What makes an item valuable？Rarity(罕见)and conditions are the most important factors.A coin or stamp which is worth hundreds in perfect condition might be worth only a few pence in average or poor conditions.
What should you collect？Most collectors begin collecting things which interest them，and as the collection grows，knowledge of the subject grows.If you want your collection to grow in value，it is probably best to avoid things which are sold especially for collectors.Nearly everybody who buys a set of new coins or stamps will keep them in perfect condition，so that the new coins or stamps will never become rare.The most valuable items are often things that were widely available but were usually thrown away after use，such as toy cars.An interesting collection can be started very cheaply.

B
The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids.They have stood for nearly 5，000 years，and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.There are over eighty of them along the banks of the Nile，some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids.The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were bu
ilt thousands of years ago.Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or，more often，for stones to use in modern buildings.The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition，and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin.These are good reasons why they can still be seen today，but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
