W:Tony, we should have a look at the schools before deciding where we move. Our daughter needs to have a good education.

M:Right. I’ve got some information about some schools in Brighton from the district office.

W:Good. It appears there are five high schools—three state schools and two private.

M:I don’t know if we want private schools, do we?

W:No, it’s too expensive for us.

M:I would like our child to go to a state school.

W:Ah, here. Our daughter isn’t good at sports or music but has a good sense of fashion. We could send her to a school with good vocational training such as designing or modeling.

M:What about Brighton Art School?

W:Then, what are the schools like academically? I mean how many children go on to university every year?

M:Well. Simon Grammar School is very good. About 80% of their students go on to university. And the Art School is even better with the number of students reaching 90%. George High School isn’t so good, only 38%.

W;Well, it seems Brighton Art School is a good choice.

【题目】Decades before the first unaccompanied child was put on a plane to grandma’s in the care of a flight attendant, a few resourceful parents accomplished the same end by simply dropping their kids in the mail.

This was in the earliest days of the parcel post service, which launched in 1913. Before that, U.S. Postal Service packages were capped at four pounds, which limited the goofy things people tried to send by post.

But when the parcel service began, all kinds of cargo showed up in the mail stream, including coffins, eggs, dogs and, in a few cases, human young.

According to National Postal Museum historian Nancy Pope, the first known case of a mailed baby was in 1913 when Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Beauge of Glen Este, Ohio, shipped their 10-pound infant son to his grandmother’s home about a mile away, paying 15 cents in postage and springing for $50 in insurance (because they were worriers).

But some children were mailed much farther, Pope said. Edna Neff of Pensacola, Fla., was 6 when she was packed off — or packaged off — to her father’s home in Christiansburg, Va., 720 miles away.

The precious parcels weren’t truly parcels in the brown-paper. Instead they were more like companions in the arms of their carriers or walked along the route(路线). But the most famous mailed child, May Pierstorff, was indeed sent by an Idaho railway mail car in 1914 with the appropriate stamps stuck to her traveling coat. May’s picture survives, but no physical evidence of her trip. “We would sure love to have that coat,” Pope said.

In 1914, the postmaster general instituted a rule about the mail that stands to this day: no humans. But that didn’t stop an ambitious thief from crating himself up and shipping himself airmail. When William DeLucia, packed in a trunk labeled “Musical Instruments” along with food and an oxygen tank, was airborne, he climbed out, pilfered thousands of dollars’ worth of goods from the registered mail and sealed himself back up. He was arrested at the Atlanta airport in 1980 after his trunk popped open as it was being unloaded.

“We have his oxygen tank” at the Postal Museum, Pope noted with pride.

A. The value of the mail.

B. The weight of parcels.

C. The content in the mail.

D. The postage for packages.

2How was Jesse Beauge’s son mailed?

A. Packed in a mailbox.

B. Walked along the route.

C. Sent by a railway mail car.

3What does Nancy Pope wish to be exhibited most in the Postal Museum?

A. May’s picture.

B. The brown-paper.

C. May’s traveling coat.

D. Idaho railway mail car.

4Who discovered William DeLucia at last?

A. The airport porter.

B. The airport police.

C. The passenger victims.

D. The postmaster general.
