25、e good news and some bad news this week.The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stam

26、ps to make up postage differences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.The new “forever s

27、tamp” is the United States Postal Service（USPS）answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation（通貨膨脹），competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthca

28、re, says Mark Saunders, a Spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “Its not your grandfathers stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildrens stamp.”O(jiān)ther countries, inclu

29、ding Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, hes interested in the publics reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that hell buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of

30、time, not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We wont be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commissions decision, but tends to follow its recommendations.

35、class stamps.D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.CThe traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financia

36、l support to produce eco-friendly tens made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England,

37、James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which

38、 he called Myhabs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop Graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the Citys private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporte

39、r in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mints directors and won their support. Mint has committed around 500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.

40、Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards, They can be Personalized and the company will offer reductions on t
