A
Every day millions of letters go from one country to another．Letters mailed in Italy are
received in Japan．Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa．On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．
The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible．It sets
up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages（包裹）．It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）．
One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly．One country did not
always accept another country’s letters．Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries．Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）．Some were lost along the way．
Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage．The person
receiving the letter had to pay the rest．
The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the
questions of international mail．In 1974，men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union．Today，more than 120 nations belong to this union．From its office in Switzerland，the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world．

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students．Whenever he
took the chair on the exam committee（委员会）, the students would be in fear , because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave ．A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him．At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again ．Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee．This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all．
The professor began to ask．The student was required to describe a certain illness, his
description of which turned out to be OK．
Then the professor asked about the cure（药剂,疗法）for the illness , and the student , too ,
answered just as right ．“Good,” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon,” answered the student．
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said the professor．At the same time the
committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given ．Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer．“A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself．Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr．Professor, I’ve made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for the patient．He can take only five drops．”
“I’m sorry, sir,” said the professor coldly, “but it’s too late．Your patient has died．”

Earthquakes are something that people fear．There are some places that have few or no
earthquakes．Most places in the world，however，have them regularly（有规律的）．Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous（多山的）．
The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906．Over 700
people died in it．The strongest one in North America was in 1964．It happened in Alaska．
Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people．In 1755，one of the
strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal．Around 2,000 people died．
In 1923，a very strong earthquake hit the Tokyo，Yokohama area of Japan．A hundred and forty
thousand people died．Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake．
One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 2008．It killed a large number of
people．The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China，in which 400,000 people were killed or injured．This earthquake happened in 1556．
Earthquakes worry people a lot．The reason is that we often do not know when they are
coming．People can not prepare for it．
