When you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelope or on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to think of this idea?
In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage(邮资) when they received letters. They were unhappy about this, especially when they paid for a letter which they did not wish to receive at all. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to collect(征收) the postage.
Rowland Hill, a schoolmaster in England, was the first to put forward a proposal(提议) to use stamps in the 50s of the nineteenth century. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps to cover postage. They could go to the nearby post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could simply put seals(印章) on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to collect postage. It only needed to send fewer postmen to deliver letters. That was a good idea and the government(政府) finally agreed to it.
36. It was not until _____ that people began to use stamps.
A. the early 19th century B. the middle 19th century
C. the late 19th century D. the beginning of the 19th century
37. Before stamps were used, postage ________.
A. was paid by the letter-posters B. was paid by the letter-receivers
C. was collected by postmen D. Both B and C
38. Rowland Hill was ________.
A. the designer(设计师) of the first stamp B. a postman in England
C. the suggestion(建议)-giver of using stamps D. a postmaster of a small post office
39. After stamps were used, post offices needn’t _______.
A. send postmen to collect the postage
B. send postmen to collect letters
C. send postmen to deliver letters
D. put seals on the used stamps
