But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established. From then until the first world war the cost of sending a letter any distance within the United Kingdom remained at one penny. The gloomy prophecies (预言) of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Office were maintained and improvements in transport and administration made it possible not only to handle the increased volume of correspondence but also to extend postal facilities.Before this great change took place, the charge for sending a letter varied according to the distance the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was addressed. The lowest charge was four pence and for long distances as much as eighteen pence. Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor people, who were often compelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay. Under the new scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(贴上) to it an adhesive(粘的) postage stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all. Thus the poor were enabled to exchange news with their relations and friends at a time when many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere.Businessmen also found cheap postage a boom and, since it soon turned out to be a great financial success, the new scheme was, before long, adopted by every civilized country in the world ——a final tribute(明证) to the wisdom and vision of its promoter.21. “Some said that it (i.e. Rowland Hill's scheme) would not pay” means ________. A. some said that people would refuse to pay for the scheme B. some said that the scheme would not be profitable C. some said that the scheme was not economicalD. some said that they did not have enough money to pay for the scheme 22. Rowland Hill's system is known as the ‘Penny post ’ ________.A. because it undertook the delivery of all inland letters for the charge of one pennyB. since it was established late in 1839C. because many people who used its facilities were poorD. as a result of the gloomy prophecies of those who had said scheme would not pay 23. Postal facilities were extended after the introduction of the Penny Post ________. A. because the volume of correspondence increasedB. as a result of improvements in transport and administrationC. until the first world warD. provided that the cost of sending a letter remained at one penny 24. Under the old system the poor had frequently been compelled to refuse letters ________.A. because they could not afford to pay the high postage rates which had to be paid on receipt of a letter。

A(1) There are great excitement on the plant of Venue this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the plant Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venuesian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientist were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.(2) Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo.Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs-20of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.B(3) The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to he native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy’s eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing-bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room.(4) Jefferson’s courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probablyknew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, and medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before these became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout American, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform.Of all Jefferson’s many talents, one in central. He was above all a good and tireless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…..”C(5) While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience n teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.(6) As a boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I know who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyond any pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world’s most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark-W-for Woolworth’s.(7) And she didn’t just talk. She has been a driving force in the community organization BUILD (Baltimore United in Leadership Development). Together they drove drug dealers off a vacant lot and built a playground. They established an extended-day program at school to keep kids off the streets. They prompted the city and local churches to step up efforts to redevelop abandoned houses.Not long ago, Armstead ran into one of the men who used to hang out on her steps. “Hey, Mom!”he exploded, giving her a hug. He got a job, he told her, adding, “ I want to thank you for all your fussin’.”Armstead is modest about the impact she’s had.
