The Post Office in Britain is famous for getting letters and parcels（packages）to places to which they should be sent. The problem is that we the public have to observe the rules. For example, we must put a stamp on a letter. If we don’t, the receiver will have to pay double. We often see the sign ALL LETTERS MUST BE CORRECTLY ADDRESSED. These days, this means having to use postcodes. If you didn’t use a postcode, it’s no good complaining that your letter should have arrived sooner. Parcels are a problem because they must be correctly packaged. If Aunt Sophie is going to send you a jar of your favorite jam, she will have to wrap it up well. The most important thing we have to do is to address our letters and parcels legibly(易讀)and correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling. What we should do and what we actually do are often miles apart. Recently, the Post Office had to deliver a letter which showed a name followed by the word Rajah. What is this, do you think? Arabic? Hindustani(興都斯坦語)?Wrong both times！Say it out loud and you’ll see it’s just plain English. HARWICH HARBOUR!

 

45．In England ______ if you forget to put on a stamp.

       A．nobody can receive your letter

       B．you will have to give some money as a punishment

       C．you can’t have your letter posted

       D．you can still have your letter posted

       A．your letter couldn’t arrive soon

       B．your letter would be surely lost

       C．your letter could not be posted

       D．your letter would be sent back at last

47．When we post parcels, we must             .

       A．a(chǎn)ddress them correctly                        B．a(chǎn)ddress them clearly

       C．package them correctly                        D．a(chǎn)ll of the above

48．From the passage we can see that postmen            .

       A．have no difficulty in delivering any letters

       B．have difficulty in delivering misspelt letters

       C．won’t deliver any letters with bad handwriting

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. The time was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was driving along the road to take my daughter from school. Our plan was to go swimming together. I finished my work at 4 o’clock and then went to the post office. Then I stopped off at a shop in order to get some fresh fruit. We’d like to have some fruit after swimming.
I was driving along a high road on my way to my daughter’s school. Over my road was another road, which was built like a bridge for cars coming to the other way. I was hungry so I put the bag of apples in the seat beside me and started to eat one.
Suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn't know what was happening. Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car. I drove more slowly and then I stopped the car and at the same moment the road fell onto the cars in front of me.
I found myself in the dark. I couldn't move. The bottom parts of both of my legs and my feet were hurting badly and I couldn't move them. All around me was quiet. But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been in an earthquake.
For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of apples, so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people climbing towards me. A team of people had come to see if anyone was under the broken road. I called out, “I’m here!” when I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to the side of the road near my car. “How are you doing?” he asked. “Not too bad, ”I said. “But my feet and legs feel as if they’re broken.”“We’ll have you out of there just as soon as we can.” They didn't get me out until the next morning. I had been in my car for fourteen hours.
