How many coins have you got in your pocket right now? Three? Two？or one？

With a phonecard you can make up to 200 calls without any change at all.

（1）What do you do with it?

Go to a telephone box marked（you guessed it）“phonecard”. Put in your card, make your call and when you’ve finished, a screen tells you how much is left on your card.

（2）Now appear in a shop near you.

Near each Cardphone place you’ll find a shop where you can buy one. They’re at bus, train and city tube stations（地鐵）.

Many universities, hospitals and clubs. Restaurants and gas stations on the highway and shopping centers. At airports and seaports.

（3）No more broken payphones.

Most broken payphones are like that because they’ve been vandalized（故意破壞）. There are no coins in Cardphone to excite thieves’ interest in it. So you’re not probably to find a vandalized one.

Get a phonecard yourself and try it out ,or get a bigger wallet.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項多余選項。

There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned in schools in most countries, and in many countries. there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. 1._ And they often use them to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.

2. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to abandon physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn't do any harm to them. They believe that for the child's sake they have the right to discipline the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. 3._ There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.

However there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don't have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. 4.____Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use-now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts are strange to most people .In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.

In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force. 5..

A. It is not difficult to change some negative habits.

B. It is easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments.

C. However, many parents still believe that. They have the right to use some physical punishments.

D. There are various ways to educate children.

E. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem.

F. And doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.

G. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective.

The U．S．Postal Service (USPS) is losing billions of dollars a year．The government company that delivers "small mail" is losing out to email and other types of electronic communication．First-class mail amount fell from a high point of 104 million pieces in 2000 to just 64 million pieces by 2014.

Congress permits the 600,000-empIoyee USPS to hold a monopoly (壟斷) over first-class and standard mail．The company pays no federal, state or local taxes; pays no vehicle fees; and is free from many regulations on other businesses．Despite these advantages, the USPS has lost $52 billion since 2007, and will continue losing money without major reforms.

The problem is that Congress is preventing the USPS from reducing costs as its sales decline, and is blocking efforts to end Saturday service and close unneeded post office locations．USPS also has a costly union-dominated workforce that slows the introduction of new ideas or methods down．USPS workers earn significantly higher payment than comparable private-sector workers．The answer is to privatize the USPS and open postal markets to competition．With the rise of the Internet, the argument that mail is a natural monopoly that needs government protection is weaker than ever.

Other countries facing declining letter amounts have made reforms．Germany and the Netherlands privatized their national postal companies over a decade ago, and other European countries have followed suit．Britain floated shares of the Royal Mail on its stock exchange in 2013．Some countries, such us Sweden and New Zealand, have not privatized their national postal companies, but they have opened them up to competition.

These reforms have driven efficiency improvements in all of these countries．Additional number of workers have been reduced, productivity has risen and consumers have benefited．Also, note that cost-cutting measures—such as closing tone post offices—are good for both the economy and the environment.

Privatization and competition also encourage new changes．When the USPS monopoly over "extremely urgent" mail was stopped in 1979, we saw an explosion in efficient overnight private delivery by firms such as FedEx.

The government needs to wake up to changing technology, study postal reforms abroad and let businessmen reinvent our out-of-date postal system.

1.What do we know about the USPS?

A．Its great competitor is the delivery firm FedEx.

B．It is an old public service open to competitions.

C．Its employees don't pay federal, state or local taxes.

D．It has complete control of first-class and standard mail.

2.The author mentions some other countries in Paragraph 4 to __________.

A．explain the procedures of reform to the USPS

B．show the advantages of private postal services

C．set some examples for the government to learn from

D．prove the situation is very common around the world

3.The author probably that the USPS __________.

A．needs government’s protection as ever

B．can work together with other businesses

C．must be replaced by international companies

D．should be sold out and become a private service

4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

A．B．

C．D．
