Every town in the United States has a post office. Some are very small, and you may also find them in the corner of a shop. Others are large building. They are open five days a week and Saturday mornings. From Monday through Friday they are usually open from 8:30 to 4:30.
If you know how much the postage(邮资) is for your letter, you can buy stamps at any window. In some post offices you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at many different prices, from one cent(美分) to many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage is for your letter, you may ask the man or the woman is the post office for help. He or she will give you the stamps you need. If you are sending your letters far away, you should use airmail envelopes(航空信封). Remember that postage will be more expensive for a letter to be sent outside the country.
At a post office you can also buy postcards. A postcard is cheaper than a letter. Usually the price of postage for a postcard is about half that of a letter. The postcards that you buy at a post office do not have pictures. However, also they are not to be sent outside the country.
Letters are an easy and cheap way to keep in touch with people in many different countries.

Do you know something about tree rings(年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?
A tree will grow well in a climate(气候) with lots of sunshine and rainfall(雨量). And little sunshine or rainfall will limit(限制) the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, the climate of that year was bad.
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there——no trees and no people. What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of dead trees thee. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people thee had to move.
( )1.____ in good climate.

( )2.The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because tree rings can tell ____.

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation(翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
( )1.From the passage we know that ____ when we are learning English.
A. we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
B. we should look up every word in the dictionary
C. we need to put every word into our own language
D. we must read word by word
( )2.The writer thinks it is ____ in learning English.
A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order
C. important to master the rules in different ways D. easy to master the rules for word order
( )3.We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words.
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
( )4. “She only likes apples.” ____.
A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.” B. is different from “Only she likes apples.”
