The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters,postcards,and small packages(包裹). It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates(费用).
One hundred years ago,international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept another country’s letters. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters travelled by many different routes(路线).Some were lost along the way.
Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage. The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest.
The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail. In 1974,men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union.Today,more than 120 nations belong to this union. From its office in Switzerland,the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world.

Not a 22 moment, perhaps, 23 small moments sometimes last a very long time.And a few words—though they mean 24 at the time to the people who say them—can have great 25 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff.For the last 24 years he has been a professional 26 .Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 27 .He had few 28 and no self-confidence.One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment(作业).The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird.Now they were to write their own chapter that would 29 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 30 .Today he can not recall anything 31
about the chapter he wrote, or what 32 Mrs.Branch gave him.What he does remember is the four words Mrs.Brach wrote in margin(空白处)of the paper:“This is 33 writing.”
Four words.They 34 his life.
“ 35 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or 36 I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 37 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs.Brach to evaluate.She was 38 , tough and honest.“She was just what I
39 .”Dalkoff said.
His confidence 40 .Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.

It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(旁观者) for the game I love,knowing that no one has enough 42 to give me the chance to 43 on the floor. Tears well up, but I hold them back. I shouldn’t be so 44 over something so silly.
Away from the game, it’s easier to put my thoughts together, 45 letting my emotions drive my reasoning. I consider 46 I am where I am. I have played football my whole life. I have a passion for the 47 and always have. There is nothing like the excitement of 48 : the swish of the net, the sweat rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises(青肿) are battle wounds worn 49 after every game.
Even if I don’t play much, I participate in every 50 . I am part of a team of girls who 51 together like a family. I am there for them, 52 they are for me.
Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and pursue my passion just a little longer?
The decision isn’t difficult when I consider the 53 that being a part of a team brings me --- and not just any team, 54 my team. I love basketball and my teammates. When I think about that, my view from the bench really isn’t so bad 55 .

Hu Qing’s team decided to sell some useful books in front of the Children Activity Center. They thought parents would like to buy the books for their children. But unfortunately, they met urban management officers (城管). The officers asked them to leave. “We played hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) with the officers for the whole morning” said Hu. “Finally we had to give up.”
Wang Bing and her team sold ice cream in a square. They didn’t meet any officers. But few people were interested in what they were selling. The team then put up a board saying “For Country Kids”. It worked. More people came to their stall (小摊). A foreigner even gave them 100 yuan. “He didn’t want any change. He said he wanted to help the children,” said Wang. “We were touched.” Later that day they gave the 100 yuan and more to the “Project Hope” office.
Meng Zhaoxiang and his team were luckier. They sold all their cakes in four hours, spending 39.5 yuan and getting back 80 yuan. They made 40.5 yuan. “It was not easy to make the money,” said Meng. “Some people just looked. Others just tasted but didn’t buy. Now I know how hard it is for our parents to make money.”

Stutchbury’s book, The Private Lives of Birds, based on 20 years of research from radio filming and DNA testing shows male Acadian flycatchers fertilize(使受孕) females far away from their home nests, “ The main discovery is that so many birds do divorce for what humans would describe as selfish reasons,” Professor Stutchbury said. She noted that females may seek out males that are more colorful and better singers, or look to “step up in the world” and move to areas that are safer and have more food. “Females are looking for the highest quality male so that their children will be of high quality,” she added.
Professor Stutchbury said shorter summers may drive females to leave their nests before their young are fully grown up so they can quickly find new mates(配偶) and lay more eggs, leaving the males to feed the hungry chicks on their own.
Males can double their success in producing children by fertilizing neighboring females, but only “mates” care for the young, and some are none the wiser. “ They can’t tell when the egg comes out and whether it’s theirs or not,” She said. “They have no way to know.”
Divorce is surprisingly common among birds, and most live with one partner for only a few months or years. Divorce rates range from 99 percent in the greater flamingo to zero in the wandering albatross(信天翁).
小题1:What does the underline word “dispels” mean?
A.States | B.Doubts | C.Confirms | D.Removes |
A.shows the kind of male birds females seek out. |
B.indicates the wandering albatross is the most faithful. |
C.is based on Professor Stutchbury’s 20 years’ research. |
D.suggests that female birds select males near their home. |
A.young birds’ quality depends on their feather. |
B.some male birds care for others’ young as their own. |
C.female birds go to find males as soon as autumn comes. |
D.female birds are responsible for feeding the hungry babies. |
A.A book about love-birds. |
B.Birds’ living habits and love life |
C.The fact that birds don’t love their mates forever. |
D.The factors that influence birds to look for another mate. |
