13、at it was unworkable. But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established. From then until the first world war the cost of sending a letter any distan _ within the United Kingdom re _ined at one penny. The gloomy prophecies (

14、预言) of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Offi _ were _intained and improvements in transport and administration _de it possible not only to handle the increased volume of corresponden _ but also to extend postal facilities.

15、nding a letter varied aording to the distan _ the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was addressed. The lowest charge was four pen _ and for long distan _s as much as eighteen pen _. Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor pe

16、ople, who were often pelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay. Under the new scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(贴上) to it an adhesive(粘的) postage stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all.

25、hen we look back, doubts like these can _ke us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friendsor our enemies?

26、ucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he said, “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal,” thats being friendly. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he _y be saying is that he doesnt think

27、 you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that

28、 your problem isnt important. Its _ing you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you _ the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says

It is not often realized that women held a high pla _ in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th _nturies. As a wife, the wo _n was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum.

35、 Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wifes right to re _ive a tenth of all her hu _ands property. The wife had the right to withhold co

36、nsent(不同意), in all transactions(交易) the hu _and would _ke. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her hu _and. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of differen _ in the legal status of hu _and and wife. The wife shared in

37、 the _nagement of her hu _ands personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritan _ against hu _ands who tried to ex _ed their rights, and on oasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catal

38、an wo _n of Bar _lona(巴塞罗那). Having agreed with her hu _and Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on co mpensation(补偿). None being offered, she sueeded in dragging her hu _and to the scribe(法律学家) to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a pie _ of

39、 land from Miros personal inheritan _.
