C. READING * Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post
office was set out to improve transportation of the post office mails. From those early
days to the present, the post office has helped develop and subsidize every new
mode transportation in the United States. Transportation has been the most
important element in mail delivery. Even when the general public had still suspected
of the security of a new means of transportation, the post office experimented with
inventions that offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering
embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the process.
As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat,
railroad, automobile, and airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of
balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts ensured the income necessary to
build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually spanned the
continent.
By the turn of the 19th century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of
stagecoaches for operation on the nation’s better post roads – a post road being any
road on which the mail travels – and continued to encourage new designs to improve
passenger comfort and carry mail safely.

A. to develop transportation B. to apply new mean of transportation

the passage.
I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in
a village by the sea, and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in
some place which is far from lake, river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that
there is something missing, even though it is sometimes hard for me to decide what
it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and
swimming. It is possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are
impossible without a lot of water. Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a
big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and one can certainly row on a lake
or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it
is the easiest to continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for
comfortable swimming and the sea is often too rough for sailing. Even on the coldest
day one row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one. Sometimes it is so cold

when is rowing, one gets warmer the longer one goes on.
