When you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelop or on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Ho was the first to think of this idea?
In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post officers had to send many people to get the postage.
Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850’s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.
61．People began to use stamps _____________. （ ）
A．in the middle of the nineteenth century B．at the beginning of the nineteenth century
C．at the end of the nineteenth century D．In the late nineteenth century
62．Before stamps were used, postage was paid by ___________. （ ）
A．the letter-writers B．the letter-receivers
C．postmen D．Both the letter-writers and the letter-receivers
63．Rowland Hill _______________________________. （ ）
A．was the first man to send for postage
B．was a postman in England
C．was the first to give the idea to use stamps

64． After stamps were used, ___________. （ ）
A．the post office needn’t send postmen for postage
B．people needn’t pay postage
C．the post office could get more postage
D．the post office still need more postmen
65．What is the main idea of the passage? （ ）
A．How did stamps begin to be used?
B．Why were postmen sent to get postage
C．When did people first begin to use stamps
D．Who was the first to send a letter
（C）
Bill and Fred were students at a middle school and they were classmates. They didn’t have much money. So when it was time for their summer vacation, Bill said , “Let’s take a car vacation in a trailer(拖车), Fred. It’s cheaper than at a hotel. I can borrow my father’s trailer.” Fred was very happy, so they got into the trailer and began their vacation.
They wanted to get up early the next morning to go fishing, but they didn’t have an alarm clock. “That’s all right, Bill” Fred said, “I’ll put these small pieces of bread on the roof of the trailer tonight and they’ll wake us up in the morning.”
Bill was very surprised, but he didn’t say anything.
