Modern life is impossible without traveling．The fastest way of traveling is by plane．With a modern airline you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago．
Traveling by train is slower than plane, but it has its advantages．You can see the country you are traveling through．Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars．They make even the longest journey enjoyable．
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible．There are large liners and river boats．You can visit many other countries and different places．And traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday．
Many people like to travel by car．You can make your own timetable．You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like．You can stop wherever you wish － where there is something to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night．That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasant trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are traveling on business．

Do you know something about tree rings(年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?
A tree will grow well in a climate(气候)with lots of sunshine and rainfall．And little sunshine or rainfall will limit(限制)the growth of climate by studying the tree rings．For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside．If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year．If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad．
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man．Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico．But now you can find only sand there－no trees and no people．What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there．He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings．As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move．

In a small village in England about 150 years ago, a mail coach(邮车)was standing on the street．Around the coach many people were talking to one another about it．
Mail coach did not come to that village so often in those days．People had to pay a lot of money to get a letter．The person who sent the letter did not have to pay．The person who got the letter had to pay the postage(邮资)．
“Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said the mailman．Everyone turned to a girl of about eighteen who was standing by the coach．“I’m Alice Brown,” she said in a low voice．The mailman gave her the letter．
Alice looked at the envelope for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman．
“I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said．“I don’t have enough money to pay the postage．”
The people standing around were very sorry for the girl．They were silent for a while．Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter．
When the gentleman gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Oh, thank you very much, sir．This letter is from the young man I’m going to marry．His name is Tom．He went to London to look for work．He has to get enough money for our marriage(结婚)．I’ve waited a long time for this letter, but now don’t need it．I don’t have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside．”
“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise．“How do you know that?” “He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope．Look, sir, this cross in the corner means that he is well, and this circle means he has found work．That’s very good news．”
The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill．He did not forget Alice and her letter．
“The postage to be paid by the receiver has to be changed,” he said to himself．He thought and thought for many years．At last he had a good plan．
“The postage has to be much lower,” he said．“What about a penny(便士)for a letter? And the person who sends the letter pays the postage．He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope．”
“A good idea!” people said when they heard of his plan．
