Have you ever posted letters to your friends or parents? If so, you must have put stamps on the letters before you sent them. But, how did people receive letters before stamps were invented, and who came up with the idea of using stamps?

In the past, stamps and envelopes were not used. When people wanted to send a letter, they would close the paper with a seal（封印）. The person who got the letter had to pay for it. Because costs at that time were very high, most people refused to accept letters. In fact, the sender would often place secret marks on the outside of the letter. The person who was sent the letter would read the secret message. Then, they would refuse to accept the letter and did not have to pay for it.

In Britain, Sir Rowland Hill introduced the “Post Office Reforms” in 1837. He decided that letters could go to any place in the country for a penny even if the letter had to go far away. The cost was to be paid by the sender of the letter. Payment was recorded by placing a small piece of coloured paper on the letter, the stamp! On May 6,1840, the first stamp called the “Penny Black” was born. Because the stamp was printed in black, the stamp became known as the “Penny Black”. This is now the world’s most famous stamp. This new system spread fast.

1.The best title for this passage should be______

2.Before stamps were used,______ would pay for the letter.

3.The first stamp was made______.

4.Which of the following is true about the first stamp of China?

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear?What do you think of that?Fashionable?Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look．But recently this trend has been at the centre of an argument in Italian middle schools．

The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low—rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body．His request came after a class trip．when he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for schoo1．

But in Italy，a nation that takes fashion very seriously，the suggestion caused a debate among parents．teachers and students．The issue is whether the head teacher’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual(随意的)．

A parents’group praised the proposal in favour of good taste，while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings．

“We do not want to kick fashion out，’’ the headmaster explained．“But extremes of fashion like this are not right in schoo1．”Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers．

Most students have simply ignored the request．Ludovica Gaudio,14,wore extremelv low trousers exposing orange underwear in class．It was cold，so she wore a matching orange scarf(围巾)．Another 14-year-old said she should probably respect the request，simply for practical reasons．”I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans”，said Sarah Lattanzi．”In winter，when dressed like that，it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache．”

1.What leads to the argument in Italian middle schools?(no more than 5 words)

2.Why does the headmaster’s suggestion cause a debate in Italy?(no more than 12 words)

________

3.What does the headmaster encourage students to do?(no more than 7 words)

Have you ever wondered: What drives successful people? Take a look around and talk to your friends and seniors who are very successful, you will see all of them have adopted certain values which have proved vital for their success.

It is evident that successful people take initiative (主动性). When they find something needs to be done, they just do it instead of waiting. They believe that responsibility is taken, not given. They weigh immediately what has to be done and then do it with pleasure, thus strengthening their reputation.

Successful people are enthusiastic about the things they do, especially when they believe in what they are doing. They are motivated by their own satisfaction and the joy they get from doing their work. They work hard even when no one is watching and they throw themselves into their work.

They do not fear failure. Failures and disappointments in life are unavoidable. It is failure that teaches us much more than success. Successful people pick themselves up after a fall and try again with more determination and commitment and learn from each failure. They associate with those they can learn from and enjoy the company of those who appreciate their achievement.

Having good IQ often gets a person what he wants but it’s really the EQ that keeps him there and helps him enjoy a high reputation. Successful people are polite to everyone and treat others with respect. By giving respect to others, they command respect for themselves.

Another important quality of successful persons is that they never complain. It’s better to praise others and win favor with them. So instead of complaining about a situation, successful people always try to solve it.

To put it shortly, take initiative and be enthusiastic about them. Do not be afraid to fail, but get up and start again. When you do so, success will be just around the corner.

高二英语短文改错中等难度题查看答案及解析

We have dreams almost every night. Do you ever notice the colors of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white or do you dream in yellow, red and green?

New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams.

While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome(黑白画面)。

“It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed”, said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.

Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams are in black and white. But the tide(潮流) turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contain some color.

Since this period also marked the transition(过渡) between black-and-white film and TV and Technicolor(印染法彩色)，an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people’s dreams. However, there weren’t any firm conclusions.

But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and half of whom were under 25.

She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.

She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under-25s’ dreams were black and white. The over-55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent.

But the over-55s who only had access to black-and –white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.

Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.

“The crucial time is between three and ten when we all begin to have the ability to dream”, she said.

1.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The relationship between dream color and the age of the people.

B. The relationship between people’s dreams and colors that they see in their life.

C. The relationship between dreams and types of television and films that people watch.

D. The relationship between dream color and types of television and films people watch.

2. From the text, we can see that ___________.

A. all people who are below 25 dream in color

B. people over 55 always dream in monochrome

C. watching TV or films probably affects dream color

D. people begin to dream when they are 10 years old

3.Which is WRONG according to the passage?

A. Miss Murzyn thought she has proved the connection between dream color and TV and films.

B. Eva Murzyn is a professor at Dundee University in Britain.

C. The period between 3 and 10 is an important time in forming dreams.

D. The 1960s was a time which marked a transition in dream color.

4. In which magazine can you find the article?

A. New Scientist　　　　 　　　 B. Psychology Analysis
