Today we take for granted that the mail will be delivered daily at our 【S1】______
door. But many years ago it might have been placed in a tree trunk and 【S2】______
underneath a rock. In the early days of the mail no one could be sure about
where or when it will arrive. 【S3】______
At the southern tip of Africa there was once a post office under a rock.
At the old days the route from England to India was around the Cape of 【S4】______
Good Hope. The journey was stormy and danger. It took six long months. 【S5】______
Sailors often wished to send mail home, but they seldom met ships bound
back to England. So at the cape the sailors would go on ashore. They headed 【S6】______
for a certain large stone. On the stone scratched the words "Look hereunder 【S7】______
for letters." They would leave their letters there, knowing that the
next homeward ship would stop and pick it up. 【S8】______
There was another post office like this at the southern tip of South America.
During the golden rush days, boats sailed around Cape Horn to 【S9】______
California. At Cape Horn was a keg(小桶) nailed to a post. Boats coming
from the east coast would send some sailors to this post office. They picked
up any letters in the keg. At the same time they mailed letters home that
boats sail east could pick up. 【S10】______
【S9】
选项
答案
golden→gold
