27、as been a need to keep in touch, to send information between people in different places. Before writing was invented, spoken messages were carried from one person to another and it was not easy to send longer messages. Writing changed the situation, but it was still difficult to make sue that your m

28、essage got to the right place. The Romans created an organized system of mail delivery(投递), called Cursus Publicus. This was used by the Emperor and officials to send information throughout the Empire(帝国 Staging posts and a relay system with horses and carriages meant that messages could move quickl

29、y, byusing many riders instead of one. However, the Romans were not (as many people think) the first to realize this. In 2000 BC the Egyptians used a similar system to keep people informed about the laws in the country. The Chinese and Persian empires also used systems of horses and riders more than

30、 500 yeah before the Romans. After the Roman postal service disappeared, other systems were created in Europe, but never again as large as the Roman's. Rulers of countries or regions and even churches created their own official mail network. It was also very important to business between countri

31、es that good communication existed. International traders set up many unofficial postal links. There was one such link between Venice and Constantinople in the 14th century. Until the mid-1600s in Europe, only official messages could be carried by the state networks; everyone else had to we less sec

32、ure, unofficial networks. However. as more roads were built. unofficial networks became safer, more reliable and very profitable. Realizing they could makemoney, governments in most countries took control of their own public postal system, making the unofficial networks illegal. A number of countrie

33、s claim to have invented the idea of stamps-placing a piece of paper on the letter showing that the postage had been paid for. But the first widely-available stamp was the Penny Black, introduced in Britain by a man called Rowland Hill in 1840. It was a black stamp with a white picture of the Queen&

34、#39;s head on it. Hill changed the idea of payment from distance to weight. The year before its introduction, about 75 million letters had been posted in Britain, yet only 10 years later over 340 million letters were sent using stamp. It was a very important invention and completely changed the post

35、al system. To buy a first-edition of this stamp today can cost over £1000. Until the 1870s it was still very expensive to send mail to other countries. The Universal Postal Union was created in 1874 to make sure that "all people in the world have affordable and reliable access to postal se

36、rvices". It cannot tell countries how much to charge. but it helps countries work together and set reasonable international mail prices.With the creation of airmail, it's now cheap and quick to send letters to most parts of the world. Unfortunately, the growth of new technology (the Interne

37、t, emails, fax machines) means that traditional postal services are becoming less popular. Many people now call traditional post "snail mail". because it does not have the speed of an email or a text message. Remember. though it has been here for over 2000 years, and is still a way of deli

38、vering a personal message.56. Sending longer messages became easier because of . A. the invention of paper B. the invention of writing C. the invention of language D. the need of communicating57. According to the passage. Cursus Publicus . A. was the largest mail network in Europe B. was the first m

39、ail network in human history C. provided postal service for everyone in Rome D. was 500 year earlier than the similar system in Egypt58. The postal link between Venice and Constantinople was built to . A. help official management B. promote international trade C. compete against official licks D. im

40、prove cultural exchanges59. It can be learned from Paragraph 5 that before 1840 . A. the stamp was very expensive B. most people in Europe had no idea of stamps C. Britain had the best postal system in the world D. the postage on a letter was decided by how far it traveled60. What can be Inferred fr

41、om the last paragraph? A. The airmail system grows rapidly. B. The postal system will become more popular. C. The speed of traditional post will be improved D. The traditional postal services remain important in mail delivery. B A team of researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago found th

42、at too many kids are eating too much pizza and too many calories are doing harm to children's health. "There are a lot of takeaways from the study. But the biggest thing is that parents are serving their kids too much pizza," said Dr.William Dietz, one of the study's authors and th

43、e director of the Sumner M.Redstone Global Center for Prevention and Wellness at the Milken Institute of Public Health at the George Washington University. The researchers used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. which tracked the diets of more than 11.000 children and te

44、enagers. Researchers figured how many children eat pizza in the United States, how often they eat it, and how much they eat when they do. Pizza, pretty alarmingly, is the second leading source of calories in the diets of America's children, next only to grain desserts, such as cookies and other

45、sweets. On any given day, roughly 20 percent of all children aged 2 to 11 and adolescents aged 12 to 19 eat pizza. And when they do, they eat a lot of it. When children eat pizza, they eat roughly 400 calories, according to the study. For teenagers, it's upwards of 600 calories. All that is pret

46、ty problematic, according to Dietz largely because kids don't tend to balance the pizza slices with salads, vegetables and other more nutritional(有营养的) foodstuffs. Days on which children and teenagers eat pizza are not only associated with considerably higher intakes of fat, but also, quite simp

47、ly. with more food: on average, children consume 84 extra calories on the days they eat pizza, while adolescents consume an extra 230 calories. "When you eat extra calories and don't compensate(抵偿) for them at another point of the day or week it can lead to weight gain and even obesity.&quo

48、t; Dietz said. There is a Silver lining. Pizza consumption is still too high by nutrition standards, but it's lower than it used to be. Consumption(消费) fell by roughly 25 percent between 2007 and 2016, according to the study. Much of that has come at dinner where it's fallen by 40 percent fo

49、r children and about 33 percent for teenagers. It's unclear whether the decline has been in connection with a growing concern over obesity, especially among the country's youth. But the drop in pizza consumption, while significant hasn't been big enough "It's a positive trend,&q

50、uot; Dietz said. "But we're not quite them yet." It's easy to see the appeal of pizza. It's cheap. Parents can buy a lot of pizza for not a lot of money. Besides, they can buy pizza from a chain shop, a mom-and-pop store or a grocery freezer. And It's universally loved. The

51、 estimated 3 billion pizza eaten each year in the United States is a proof of the food's unmatched popularity. Given how much the country loves pizza, what's to be done? Dietz suggests pizza with smaller serving sizes and healthier toppings(配料). "We're not suggesting that kids avoid

52、 pizza altogether." said Dietz "But when parents serve it. it's important that they understand it's extremely caloric. They should serve smaller pizza, or at least smaller slices."61. According to the study. the problem with kids is that . A. they are overweight B. they have t

53、oo many takeaways C. they are fed too much pica D. they have very bad health62. How did the researchers get the result? A. Through interviewing. B. By analyzing data C. By tracking kids' diets. D. Through experimenting.63. We know from the passage that when kids eat pizza, . A. they usually don&

54、#39;t eat other food B. they eat less of other food C. they are not likely to balance their diet D. they usually eat with vegetables64. What does the underlined part a silver lining in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A. Something hopeful B. Something valuable. C. Something miserable. D. Something successful.65. What's the key message of the last paragraph? A. Pizza consumpt
