C. READING * Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post office was set out
to improve transportation of the post office mails. From those early days to the present, the post office
has helped develop and subsidize every new mode transportation in the United States. Transportation
has been the most important element in mail delivery. Even when the general public had still suspected
of the security of a new means of transportation, the post office experimented with inventions that
offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering embarrassment, ridicule, or even
abuse in the process.
As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile, and
airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts
ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually
spanned the continent.
By the turn of the 19
th
century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of stagecoaches for
operation on the nation’s better post roads – a post road being any road on which the mail travels – and
continued to encourage new designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail safely.

The Asian Games owes its origins to small Asian multi-sport competitions. The Far Eastern
Championship Games were created to show unity and cooperation among three nations: Japan, the
Philippines and China. The first games were held in Manila, the Philippines in 1931. Other Asian nations
participated after it was organized.
After World War II, a number of Asian countries became independent. Many of the new independent
Asian countries wanted to use a new type of competition where Asian dominance should not be shown by
violence and should be strengthened by mutual understanding. In August 1948, during the 14
th
Olympic
Game in London, India representative Guru Dutt Sondhi proposed to sports leaders of the Asian teams the
idea of having discussions about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian Athletic
Federation. A preparatory was set up to draft the charter for the Asian amateur athletic federation. In

I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the
sea, and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake,
river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is
sometimes hard for me to decide what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is
possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water.
Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and
one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to
continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often
