22、Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country.  The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. 【1】 If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.

Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. There were the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter. 【2】When people received letters, they didn’t have to pay anything. The postage was prepaid.

Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly. But some countries didn’t want to accept letters with stamps from others. 【3】 Each country in the UPU agreed to accept letters with prepaid postage from other members. And now almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. 【4】

Today post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps. Collecting stamps is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Two pence Blue.

There is no doubt that The Battle at Lake Changjin is one of the best movies that Chinese Cinema has produced. It was a great teamwork of the best talents in the field.

26、As I enter my 40s, I’ve noticed many of my parents’ generation think social networking is something they are simply unable to understand. They fear that, should they try, they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment(尴尬). But here’s the first secret of social media: Everyone feels this way.

I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work needs that she joins Microblog, but she always feels like she doesn’t have anything smart to say. It’s the same resistance(抵制) I hear from the older generation, who, however, have somehow believed that age is the barrier(障碍), instead of the differences of personal taste.

Here’s the second secret of social media: everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons. Older generations often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives. We talk about this kind of communication like it’s some old-fashioned activity, but it is exactly why younger people use social media. The truth is that most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another, to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.

And this is the last secret of social media: everyone gets to use them in their own way. Newcomers—younger and older—who worry about “getting it right” are thinking that there’s a right way to get them. But actually there isn’t. Personally, I talk a lot on Microblog. And some people post nothing and they use social media every day as readers. Social media companies would rather see people decorating their networks with pictures and posts, but there’s no rule against being a fly on the wall. It’s also a fine way to take part in the net.

I’d never try forcing those with no interest in social networks to use Microblog. But don’t let the talk of age divides put you off. There’s nothing to stop the older generation from joining in the network their own generation created.

【1】According to the author, which is a reason for old people’s fear using social media?

A．They have no special interest in social networking.

B．They prefer staying in touch with relatives in real life.

C．They believe they may fall into embarrassing situations.

D．They have no idea what to post online.

【2】The expression “a fly on the wall” in the 4th paragraph refers to ________.

A．people who prefer reading online books

B．people who simply read others’ posts

C．people who cause trouble to others

D．people who post many pictures

【3】Which of the following may best describe the structure of this passage?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To share with us his personal experience using social media.

B．To free the old generation from fearing using social media.

C．To explain why the old generation don’t use social media.

D．To tell use few secrets of social media that he discovered.

Careful and careless are as different as fire and water. But it is strange that quite a few scientists have both these qualities (品质). They are both careful and careless.

【1】 .

Once Newton invited a friend to dinner at home. When they were ready to eat, Newton left to get a bottle of wine (酒).   【2】  , Newton still didn’t come back. At last his friend found Newton in his lab. When Newton was going to get the bottle of wine, he suddenly had a new idea for his experiment. So he quite forgot his friend and the dinner. Another time, Newton was leading a horse up a mountain, and he held the rein (缰绳) in his hand. While he was walking along, he kept thinking about problems. 【3】 , he found that the horse was gone.
