A
The first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B．C．This system developed because the pharaohs frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Messages carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up his idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.
In China, however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000 stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.
It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.
In 1653, a Frenchman, Renouard de Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient , but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer's system came to an end when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.
The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British schoolteacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other, His idea helped the British postal system begin to earn profits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately" (stamp collecting).
1、What is the main topic of the passage?
A．How international letters travel. B．A surprising method for delivering mail.
C．The history of postal systems. D．Changes in the methods of communication.
2、Which of the following statements about Renouard de Velayer is true?
A．His was a government-controlled system.
B．His competitors destroyed his business.
C．His system lasted for hundreds of years.
D．In his system, the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.
3、Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?
A．Egyptian. B．Chinese.
C．de Velayer's. D．von Taxis's.
4、What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?
A．He made letter writing accessible to the average person.
B．He made a lot of money for the British postal system.
C．He made stamp collecting a popular hobby.
D．He won an award for letter writing.

A member of our class told us of a request made by his wife. She and a group of other women in her church were involved in a self-improvement program. She asked her husband to help her by listing six things he believed she could do to help her become a better wife. He reported to the class," I was surprised by such a request. Frankly, it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her—my heavens, she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me—but I didn’t. I said to her, ‘Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning.’”
“The next morning I got up very early and called the florist (花商) and had him send six red roses to my wife with a note saying, ‘I can’t think of six things I would like to change about you. I love you the way you are.
“When I arrived at home that evening, who do you think greeted me at the door? That’s right. My wife! She was almost in tears. Needless to say, I was extremely glad I had not criticized her as she had requested. ”
“The following Sunday at church, after she had reported the result of her assignment, several women with whom she had been studying came up to me and said, ‘That is the most considerate thing I have ever heard.’ It was then that I realized the power of appreciation.”
Lincoln once began a letter saying “Everybody likes a compliment (赞扬).” William James said, “The deepest principle in human nature is the desire to be appreciated.” So, let’s give honest, sincere appreciation to others instead of criticizing them.
