    In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you’ll find the heart of this lovely community. It’s where villagers meet and greet friends.

    When Angelica’s post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s，a villager，Pat, came up with a plan to save it. “At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations,” says Pat, “Why couldn’t we do the same thing with Angelica?”

    Pat, who is an artist，created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel.

    She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U.S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a cancellation stamp that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station.

    The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica’s post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.

    Now it’s tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.

    Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys season’s greetings from Angel Station every year. Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues.

    1.What did Pat do to save the post office?

    A. She invented a new cancellation. B. She hosted Christmas celebrations.

    C. She gave the office a better name. D. She designed a special set of stamps.

    2.Which of the following can best describe Pat?

    A. Stubborn and determined. B. Humorous and intelligent.

    C. Curious and friendly. D. Creative and warm-hearted.

    3.What can we learn about Angelica’s post office from the passage?

    A. It was complately closed in the 1980s.

    B. Its name has been changed many times.

    C. Its stamp remains the same each season.

    D. It is also the centre of local social life.

    “Ouch!” I howled in pain as I dropped the hammer onto my foot. I felt foolish.

    It was pouring with rain, and, lame for a moment, I hopped around to the driver's side.

    “No luck?” said George. We had a flat tyre (轮胎) and I was trying to change the wheel. But it was stuck firm.

    We had driven ten hours along the road through the jungle without seeing another soul. In the distance was an ox working in the field.

    “So what do we do now? How can we find a garage?” asked George, as I got back into the car.

    About fifteen minutes later, the rain stopped. Out of the jungle came an old woman. She walked towards us carrying something long and thin.

    “Uh, oh, here comes danger!” said George, “ She’s got a spear.”

    She was wearing traditional garments, with short sleeves, a colorful necklace and other jewelry. As she got closer, we saw the spear was just a wooden pole. I got out.

    “Hello!” I said, in English. “Can you help us?” I pointed to the wheel.

    She stared at it, and then made a gesture to follow her back to the jungle. George and I looked at each other, and then set off after her.

    Soon we came to a tent under some trees. It had a firm framework of wooden poles, like the one the woman was carrying, covered with heavy cloth, and fastened with rope made of some kind of loose plant fiber. All round were corn plants. It was harvest time for the grain, and a spade, a fork and other tools were lying on the ground. Nearby were some chicks and a rooster, and a pig tied to a post.

    The woman folded back a cloth and invited us in. My eyes had to adjust to the darkness inside. The tent was furnished with a few mats on the floor, and a low table with a teapot. She picked up a photo and showed it to us. Was it her husband? The man in the photo was bare to the waist. He looked much too young. She was probably a widow (寡妇). Maybe her son or her nephew?

    Our hostess poured some tea, and watched smiling as we drank.

    “Say something,” said George.
