He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he
28、would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your
29、fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dads final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of s

31、er than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs.” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him
32、with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps.

35、ove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dads postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point
36、Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas？”he asked.“The letters？”“I guess you never knew.”“Knew what？”“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who
37、answered all those letters every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasnt hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one.

43、le Travels【要点综述】这是一篇感人的叙述亲情的文章，在这里，父亲是一个乡村送信人，这么多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务，一直到他退休。但让作者没有料到的是，父亲还在每年圣诞节的时候扮演着圣诞老人的角色，默默地回复着孩子们写给圣诞老人的信。1. C推理判断题。从全文第一段提到的always an adventure: There were animals to see知，作者认为与父亲一起去乡下送信是一件惬意的事情，因为在路上碰到的事情令人激动不已，所以选C项。2. B推理判断题。从文章第四段One businessman used to leavethe amount came t
44、o $32,000.知，商人认为父亲是一个诚实且值得信赖的人，所以他才会这么相信他，让他把数目很多的钱送往银行，由此知B项为最佳答案。3. D细节理解题。从文章最后几段可以看出，作者没有想到的是，父亲竟然还曾扮演过圣诞老人的角色，给孩子们回信，这大大出乎他的意料。这也可以从倒数第二段I just sat there with tears in my eyes.可以看出，我对父亲的这种行为感到非常吃惊和感动，由此选D项。4. C文章结构题。从第四段知，作者在这里举到了几个事例，如帮人送鸡蛋，帮小姑娘支付邮票，甚至帮一个商人去存钱等等，这些都是例子，所以该段举了很多事例来说明父亲平凡中的“伟大”，故选C项。59. D推理判断题。从倒数第二段and they told me how amazed they were that推断知，当时小朋友们对于圣诞老人居然这么了解他们的家庭生活感到非常吃惊，所以答案选D项。5. A主旨大意题。从全文知，本文作者主要讲述了自己的父亲，一个平凡中显现伟大的送信人的故事，所以用A项能较好地概括全文中心，这里用The Mail来突出父亲的工作和他的敬业，故A项最佳。
