4.The U.S.Postal Service (USPS) is losing billions of dollars a year.The government company that delivers"small mail"is losing out to email and other types of electronic communication.First-class mail amount fell from a high point of 104million pieces in 2000to just 64million pieces by 2014.
Congress permits the 600.000-empIoyee USPS to hold a monopoly (垄断) over first-class and standard mail.The company pays no federal,state or local taxes; pays no vehicle fees; and is free from many regulations on other businesses.Despite these advantages,the USPS has lost $52billion since 2007,and will continue losing money without major reforms.
The problem is that Congress is preventing the USPS from reducing costs as its sales decline,and is blocking efforts to end Saturday service and close unneeded post office locations.USPS also has a costly union-dominated workforce that slows the introduction of new ideas or methods down.USPS workers earn significantly higher payment than comparable private-sector workers.The answer is to privatize the USPS and open postal markets to competition.With the rise of the Internet,the argument that mail is a natural monopoly that needs government protection is weaker than ever.
Other countries facing declining letter amounts have made reforms Germany and the Netherlands privatized their national postal companies over a decade ago,and other European countries have followed suit.Britain floated shares of the Royal Mail on its stock exchange in 2013.Some countries,such us Sweden and New Zealand,have not privatized their national postal companies,but they have opened them up to competition.
These reforms have driven efficiency improvements in all of these countries.Additional number of workers have been reduced,productivity has risen and consumers have benefited.Also,note that cost-cutting measures-such as closing tone post offices-are good for both the economy and the environment.
Privatization and competition also encourage new changes.When the USPS monopoly over"extremely urgent"mail was stopped in 1979,we saw an explosion in efficient overnight private delivery by firms such as FedEx.
The government needs to wake up to changing technology,study postal reforms abroad and let businessmen reinvent our out-of-date postal system.

67.What do we know about the USPS?D
A.Its great competitor is the delivery firm FedEx.
B.It is an old public service open to competitions.
C.Its employees don't pay federal,state or local taxes.
D.It has complete control of first-class and standard mail.
68.The author mentions some other countries in Paragraph 4toC.
A.explain the procedures of reform to the USPS
B.show the advantages of private postal services
C.set some examples for the government to learn from
D.prove the situation is very common around the world
69.The author probably that the USPSD.
A.needs government's protection as ever
B.can work together with other businesses
C.must be replaced by international companies
D.should be sold out and become a private service
70.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?B
I:Introduction           CP:Central point P:Point
Sp:Sub-point (次要点)    C:Conclusion.
3.Everyone has talent,but not everyone succeeds with their talent.More factors than mere talent attribute to a greater personal success.Having talent or being talented is never enough to find success in life.
Dr.John Maxwell has written a new book to explain that there is more to success than just being talented.He says that the only way to find success in life is to apply good choices to talent and rise above the crowd.He believes that talented people need more than their gifts or abilities to succeed in life.There must be something more than just talent to become successful.A talent-plus person,a person who rises above the understanding of mere talent,is much more likely to find success than those with just talent alone.
People who have talent must be willing to make the right choices to maximize their talent.Wrong choices will minimize their talent,preventing them from rising to higher levels in life.Maximizing talent requires people to make good choices,but understanding that there are specific things in life requires no talent at all.Maxwell lists many different choices that people make to become a talent-plus persons including Belief lifts talent,Relationships influence talent,Responsibility strengthens talent,Teamwork multiplies talent,etc.
Following the simple principles found in the book can not only help people raise the level of their talent but also raise their level of living.When people combine the principles with their talents they can become a talent-plus person.The choice becomes one of willingness and personal change.Talent-plus people have the ability to change their life and the world.
