IV. 阅读下列短文，在空白处填写1个适当的单词。

Victor’s hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps 　31　 many countries, like England, Canada and China. 　32　 his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That’s right—stamps.

Victor’s favourite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 　33　 2014. He only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition. It was very hard to find.

He looked 　34　 it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. 　35　 nobody could find the stamp. It made Victor very sad.

“Don’t worry. Never give up,” his father said to him. “Have enough patience, 　36　 you’ll find it one day.”

“I hope so,” Victor said.

Victor also liked writing. He had a pen friend in France. They wrote 　37　 each other every month. Victor’s pen friend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps to use. Once Phillip’s mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised. 　38　 the envelope, he looked carefully 　39　 the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father.

“You see,” his father said. “You did find your stamp. So, it’s good to have two things in life.”

“What are they?” Victor asked.

“Friends 　40　 patience.” He answered.
