阅读理解。

     Last Friday, a Tibetan (藏族的) postman became the first woman postal worker to give a speech at
the World Postal Meeting in Bern, the capital of Switzerland. She was Nima Lamu, a postwoman of Yunling
Post office, Yunnan Province.
     She said, "I had to cross the Lancang River along a steel wire. My younger brother nearly died in the
river before. I felt so afraid when I was asked for the first time to cross the river. But when I reached the
other side, I found that I was flying."
     Her area is locked in (封闭) two snowy mountains and three big rivers. She said,":What worries me most
is the snakes on the way. Sometimes, I throw little stones toward them and I often tell my self 'Keep going'."
     Ten years ago, it took Nima five days to finish each week's mail. She had to face snowstorms, floods,
snakes and loneliness on her 350-kilometer journey. Nima said, "The situation has developed a lot these years.
