Want to say “hello” from Disneyland? Send a post card！

Beautiful scenes of paradise(樂園), wild animals, silly pictures—you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed(密封的) letters.

The idea for the first decorated(裝飾) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861.He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front—on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

Judge the following sentences true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.

1.We can see some silly pictures on the post cards.

2.Post cards were produced before sealed letters.

3.In 1861, the first decorated post card appeared.

4.Post cards were the most popular during the early 1900s.

5.Stamps, coins and post cards are the most popular collections in the world.

請認真閱讀下面的四篇短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳答案。

Plants are very important for living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is be-cause plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds（種子）.The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（孢子）．Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

1.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

A. Of all living things, animals are most important.

B. Spores are seeds.

C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.

D. Without plants, man will die out.

2.The paragraph following the passage will be about_______.

A. how plants can make food from air

B. how spores grow into new plants

C. why some plants have no seeds

D. why non-flowering plants are more important than flowering plants

3.This passage is most likely to be taken from_______.

A. a story book B. a novel

Paper was not made in southern Europe until the year of 1100. Though Scandinavia(斯堪的維尼亞半島) now makes a great deal of the world’s paper, it had not begun to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make paper from wood. After that, forest countries, such as Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United States, became important in paper making. Today in Finland, for example, no industry（工業(yè)）is bigger than the forest industry. And the paper industry is the most important part of it.

Modern paper-making machines are very big, and they make paper very fast. The biggest machines can make a piece of paper 750 meters long and six meters wide in one minute.

When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books, letters, envelopes（信封）, and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups, plates, and dishes for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. The newest thing made of paper in the world may be a paper house. It is not a small house for children to play in, but a real, big house for people to live in. It is not expensive. You can put up a paper house yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about 5 years.
