When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really  16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could  17  get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was  18  . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my  19  . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

After my family moved back to Singapore, I   20  going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21  with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we  22  up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going  23  the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a   24  shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China   25  sign.

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,  26  we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write  27  a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.

Three weeks later, I arrived home and  28  my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.

That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had  29 the post office all these years. Today I  30  send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

阅读理解,阅读下列内容,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。

  For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing.These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.

  But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language.Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others.The language they used was a language without sound.It was a sign language.

  How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies.These movements stood for things and ideas.People might move their forefingers across their lips.This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with three fingers.This meant “my uncle”.

  The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet(字母表).They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet.In this way, they spelled out words.Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.

  Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were.Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips.They are also taught how to speak.
