In fact,China's postal system started over 3,000 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty.Workers called "Xingfu"carried government orders and army messages. At that time,many places had institutions similar to post stations,but with different names.When the Qin State unified China,it made them use the same name-"You",which is still used in China's postal industry today. While the postal system was well-developed during the Qin and Han dynasties, only the govemment could use it.Ordinary people had to depend on friends or family to send letters and other things. During the Sui and Tang dynasties,the postal system took shape,centered around the capital and reaching all parts of the country.The poet Cen Shen wrote. "One post station after another,the post riders flow like stars,setting off from Xianyang in the morning and reaching the top of Mount Longshan in the evening." This highly developed system allowed Yang to get her fresh lychees. In the Ming Dynasty,"security escort agencies"appeared.People paid them to protect their money and safety during travel. However,in the mid-19th century,China had to open its doors to the West. This led to big changes in the postal industry.Finally,in 1913,the ancient postal system officially came to an end. )12.Why does the text begin with a story? A.To introduce the topic.

V.Reading Expression(5小题，每小题2分，共l0分) History hidden in Chinese direction words Have you ever thought about some interesting Chinese expressions?We say “shang ce suo?”(go to the toilet)and“xia chu fang”(go to the kitchen),Toilet is "shang?(up),while kitchen is "xia"(dewn).Why do we use opposite direction words for these two places?The answer hides in ancient Chinese house layouts(). In old-time Chinese houses,buildings usually faced south.According to traditional rules,the toilet was built in the northeast part of the yard.The kitchen lay in the southeast corner.-When family members walked from the main central hall towards the northeast toilet,they were moving"up".Walking to the southeast kitchen meant moving "down".That is how these phrases came into being. Direction words carry more old culture.We have the phrase"yi jian xiang zuo" (hold opposite opinions).“Zuo”means left.In ancient times,“left”sometimes stood for disagreement.Besides,many old official titles also contained "zuo"or "you". "You"often meant higher-rank position while"zuo"meant lower in certain periods. Language is a living record of history.We seldom notice these small details in daily speech.But behind simple words,we can catch how ancient Chinese people lived,thought and organized their homes.Studying language can open a window for us to learn history. 41-43 Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill in the blanks.
