Consumer Watchdog Postwatch said it had received 150 complaints from Royal Mail customers across Britain who received“Sorry you were out notices when they were actually at home. Most parcels and all recorded delivery letters need to be signed for.But some postmen do not seem to want to wait for householders to answer a knock at the door.Others.employed as short-term workers.have been known only to deliver the cards. “We have had complaints that postmen are leaving these cards even when people are in. a spokesman for Postwatch said.“And we have also had customers telling us that short-term postmen are not allowed to take signed-for mail to the door.so they had to drop these notices through the letterbox instead.It is completely unacceptable that this mail is not being delivered.The recorded mail service is more expensive and is meant to be a top quality delivery service.but this is not the case. Musician Adrian Bradbury.38.complained to Postwatch after he received two cards through the letterbox at his South London home while he was there caring for his baby daughter.He ran after the postman.only to find he did not have the parcels with him.The postman told him that he was a short―term worker and said the parcels could be picked up from初三英语试卷 第7页the post office.More than three weeks later.Mr.Bradbury has not had a chance to pick up his parcels.“I am so busy looking after the baby. he said.“The parcels are probably presents for her. The Royal Mail said it knew about the situation in Mr.Bradbury’s area and it was a way“to simplifythings for new short-term workers that came in .The Communication Workers Union criticized the Royal Mail.“If the managers are encouraging this practice.the CWU condemns it.For the Royal Mail to deliver the service customers deserve.the company needs to spend money on properly trained and paid long―term workers.

Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department(部门) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road inTaizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(专家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway(地铁) and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees(费用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
小题1:The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____.
A.makingB.arguingC.replyingD.comparing
小题2: About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now.
A.8,500B.10,000C.15,000 D.20,000
小题3: What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.The city sent out more private licenses in February.
B.Less and less people bought cars in March.
C.The city sent out less private licenses in March.
D.More and more people are going to buy cars.

A.send out more private car licenses
B.build more parking lots near bus stops
C.encourage people to buy more cars
D.build more parking areas in the city center
