A
Germany’s postal service has announced plans to explore improved service and help protect the environment by getting “fetch friends”--- ordinary people traveling across cities --- to deliver parcels on their way.
It is hoped that the move, which will be tested in the coming months, might lessen traffic in inner cities and reduce CO2 emissions. This should help DHL, a division of the German postal service, reach its target of improving the company’s carbon efficiency by 30 percent before 2020.
“As the world’s biggest logistics(物流) provider, we recognize a special responsibility to reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible,’’ said Frank Appel, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL, in a statement referring to a variety of measures being considered.
The “fetch friends” find out online about parcels that need delivering to people who live or work along the way that they are planning to travel through the city．They then select the ones they want to take.
Codes sent to their mobile phones tell the volunteers where to pick the packages up. Parcels can be taken part on the way or passed on to another volunteer but all volunteers need to have the right code on their mobile phone so the track and trace system can be updated.
Logistics companies will be responsible for looking after the operation to make sure that the privacy of post is respected.
It’s hoped this could be done using mobile phones but DHL says it recognizes that some security issues remain to be worked out.
56. According to the article, the “fetch friends” program __________.
A. has been tested for months
B. aims to reduce the cost of the service
C. employs college students to deliver parcels
D. encourages ordinary people to help with deliveries
57. Which of the following statements is TRUE of DHL?
A. It has the most up-to-date tracking system in Germany.
B. It intends to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.
C. It has designed many measures to improve its service.
D. It is the main provider for the German postal services.
58. What may be a problem with the new service according to the article?
A. The possibility that parcels could be opened on the way.
B. Recipients might not trust unprofessional deliverers.
C. Volunteers should not be allowed to select parcels.
D. Mobile phone service quality is unstable in Germany.
59. The article is mainly about ___________.
A. new challenges for the postal service B. a greener way to deliver parcels
C. a new trend in postal services D. possible solutions for logistics companies
