The professor then showed him another potato. It was very half the size of a football and very round. “This potato is organic (有机的). It is not only large and fresh, but also free of pollution. It is in high need and quite expensive.”

About 180 years ago, an English man called Rowland Hill passed a small village. He saw a postman gave a letter to a girl. The girl looked at the envelope(信封) for a moment, and then she handed it back to the postman. “I am sorry,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage(邮资). ”

Hill came up to the postman and paid the postage for the girl’s letter. When he gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Thank you very much. This letter is from Tom, my boyfriend. He went to London to look for work. I knew I couldn’t pay the postage. So I asked him to put a cross or a circle on the envelope. The cross tells me that he is well. The circle tells me that he has found work. I don’t need to open the letter because there’s nothing in it. ”

“I must do something about it,” Hill said to himself. At last, he got an idea. “The postage has to cost much less,” he said. “What about a penny(便士) for a letter? The sender of the letter must pay the postage. He has to buy a stamp(邮票) and put it on the envelope. ”

The first postage stamp in the world appeared in 1840. It had a picture of the Queen on it.

A．Because the letter was not for her.

B．Because she wanted to send the letter.

C．Because she couldn’t pay for the letter.

D．Because she didn’t want to receive(收到) the letter.

A．The cross told the girl that Tom had found work.

C．The first postage stamp in the world appeared in 1841.

Would you like to try something fun and educational? If you do, then we have a great activity for you: eating in the dark.

In special “dark restaurants”, people eat in darkness. These restaurants don’t let anyone use lights. It’s like eating with your eyes closed.

You’re able to learn something, too.

Most customers(顾客) find eating in the dark very uncomfortable. In fact, many people give up right away. However, if you stay, you may have a very special experience. After a few minutes, you start to feel things instead of seeing things. Many people say that the food starts to taste better. Most importantly, the customers will show more respect(尊敬) for the blind waiters and waitresses when they feel uneasy. After eating in the dark, you might never see the world in the same way again.
