12、was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he 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 w
13、hen I was a boy it was such fun to stick your 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 t
14、hank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route，” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bill
15、s.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other 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 mi
16、ght find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate.

One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.
17、Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dads death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasnt the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of
18、 the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through
19、those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove 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
20、 table and began to tell stories.At one point 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
21、red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who 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. I have since spoken with several of the people w

In 2012, the reality tal
43、ent show , the voice of China, on the Zhejiang Television became the most popular program in China.The reaon for its popularity was really because its excellent quality? Or can we assume that without any opponent（对手）, we cant tell a contestant（参赛者） is winning because he is really talented or because
44、 theres no comparison?The administrative department really contributed a lot in the popularity of the voice of China. In the past, there was no other draft shows(选秀节目) ranked as high as Super Girl and Super Boy. Even though there were some draft shows which seemed to share the popularity, it never t

Zhejiang TV declared long before the regulation that since was “no audition(海选)， no PK, no rise in rank, no voting, no champi
47、on”, its program was never a draft show. So, in 2012, all the opponents of Zhejiang TV had to broadcast their draft shows after 10:30 pm while the voice of China was permitted to be broadcast in prime time.If you really think about it, theres no esential different between a draft show and the voice
48、of China. It also selected people from all over the country, how did they say this were different from a draft show? No PK,really? PK doesnt mean one versus one！ A team versus a team is called PK too. And “no rise in rank?” is just a switch of concepts because at the end of every game, some left the
49、 stage and some stayed. If there was really “no champion”, how come there was only one “good voice of China” at the final round? All these were rising in rank, in disguise(隐性).Under such cimcumstance, the voice of China even got praise. We are not saying that it is not a good show: we are saying tha
