A
When you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelope or on the
card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who 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. They were unhappy about this, especially when they paid for a letter
which they did not wish to receive at all. The postage was high at that time, because the
post offices had to send many people to collect the postage.
Rowland Hill, a schoolmaster in England, was the first to put forward(提出) a proposal(提
议) to use stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps
to cover postage. They could go to the nearby post office to buy stamps and put them on
envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could simply 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 collect postage. It only needed to send fewer postmen to deliver letters.
That was a good idea and the government finally accepted it.
51. It was not until _____ that people began to use stamps.
A. the early 19th century
B. the middle 19th century
C. the late 19th century

A. was paid by the letter-posters
B. was paid by the letter-receivers

D. Both B and C
53. Rowland Hill was ________.
A. the designer of the first stamp
B. a postman in England
C. the suggestion-giver of using stamps
D. a postmaster of a small post office
54. After stamps were used, post offices needn’t _______.
A. send postmen to collect the postage
B. send postmen to collect letters
C. send postmen to deliver letters
D. put seals on the used stamps
55. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?
A. When did people first begin to use stamps?
B. Who was the first to think of using stamps?
C. Why were postmen sent to collect postage?
D. How did stamps come into use?

Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers,
and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a
short business course(课程), and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract(吸引) people’
s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell
some odds and ends(小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one
table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things
and the table was soon cleared.
Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents.
But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to
make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly
form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for
knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a
whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store
in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always
run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER
IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”
66. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.
A. earn more money for his family
B. learn something from a salesman
C. get away from the farm
D. get enough to eat.
67. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.
A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.
B. he cut down the price by half
C. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.
D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.
68. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.
A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.
B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.
C. the knives were made in Germany, where labor (劳动力) was cheap.
D. the knives were produced in one factory.
69. ______ makes Woolworth a world-famous man.
A. His business skills and his wealth.
B. The low price of the goods he sold.
C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.
D. His natural skill for showing things.
