    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    About 150 years ago, the person who sent the letter did not have to pay. The person who got the letter had to pay the postage (邮资) which cost a lot.
    　　In a small village in England, “Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said a mailman. “I’m Alice Brown,” a girl of about eighteen said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.
    　　Alice looked at the envelope(信封) for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman.
    　　“I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage.”
    　　The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter.
    　　When the gentleman gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Oh, thank you very much, sir. This letter is from my brother who went to London to look for jobs. I’ve waited a long time for this letter, but now I don’t need it. I don’t have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside.”
    　　“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise. “How do you know that?” “He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope. Look, sir, this cross in the corner means that he is well, and this circle means he has found a job. That’s very good news.”
    　　The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill. He did not forget Alice and her letter.
    　　He thought and thought for many years. “The postage has to be much lower,” he said at last. “What about a penny (便士) for a letter? And the person who sends the letter pays the postage. He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope.”
    　　The government decided to adopt (采纳) the plan. The first stamp was put out in 1840. It was called the “Penny Black”. It had a picture of the Queen on it.

    The doctor's Handwriting
    Mrs South is excited these days. A sudden terrible disease hardly killed her son two months ago. She and her husband took the poor boy to several hospitals, but few doctors could save him. Watching their helpless son struggling for a bare subsistence(在死亡线上挣扎), the woman’s and her husband’s hearts were broken. At that moment, one of their friends introduced Mr Young who worked in a small hospital to them. Thanks to the doctor, their son was saved and he was all right and came out of hospital last week.
    The woman decided to ask the doctor to dinner. The invitation was sent to him yesterday. In reply she received a letter which was impossible to read.
    “I must know whether he has accepted or not.” said Mrs South.
    “If I were you,” suggested her husband. “I should take it to a chemist(药剂师). He can always read doctors’ letters, however badly written.”
    The chemist looked at the notepaper for a while, without waiting for Mrs South’s explanation, and handed her a bottle.
    “Here you are, madam,” he said. “That will be two dollars.”
