The eagle has the longest feathers life of its group. It can reach up to 70 years. But to reach this age,the eagle must make a hard and painful decision. talon When an eagle reaches near 40,its short sharp beak becomes bent (弯曲的) . Its long and once flexible (灵活的) talons can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly. Then,the eagle has only two choices: to die or to go through a painful time of change which needs five months.
When the eagle feels weak and is about to die,it goes to a place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life,the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out,the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.
Like the eagle,we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty. In miserable condition,we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits,memories and traditions. We can't go on with all our past burdens (重负) .

Many people believe that yellowing and wetness are the greatest enemies of stamps. In fact,stamps are afraid of not only wetness,but also light and dirty things. People protect their stamps in several different ways.
To protect stamps,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 color will slowly disappear if the stamps 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 (塑 料的) 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.
