As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He 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 when 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 Dad's 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 servic e.“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 bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't 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 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. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of 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 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, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the 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 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 wasn't 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 who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.
For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as ________.
A. great chances to help other people
B. happy occasions to play with baby chickens
C. exciting experiences with a lot of fun
D. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies

4. The method the writer uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ________.

【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 leave…the amount came to $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。

As the thrills of the London 2012 Olympic Games fade, the focus now is on the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. Over the next two years it hosted the FIFA Confederation Cup in June 2013 and will host the FIFA World Cup in 2014. Brazil has taken steps to increase the economic profits by safeguarding the interests of broadcasters and funders.
In 2009, the Brazil passed the Brazilian Olympic Act and the
so-called World Cup Law in 2012, which are designed to fight ambush(隐性)marketing and digital piracy(盗版), and regulate advertising in and around official sporting sites.
The Brazilian World Cup Law goes much further in protecting the interests of right owners than Brazil’s pre-existing legislation(立法)in this area, the so-called Pele Law. For example, the World Cup Law bans anyone but the official broadcaster from using images of events. However, it does permit use for non-commercial purposes. It also requires that FIFA or its local broadcaster provide highlights up to two hours after each match. Other items allow protection of trademarks associated with the event and ban unauthorized association with the event’s marks.
The Pele Law permits, as an information right, both access to sporting sites and the use of images for journalistic purposes. It is, however, unlikely that such an understanding will be gained in relation to the World Cup Law which governs access to and use of images specifically in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2014. Although the
Brazilian Olympic Act regulates the IP(知识产权)relating to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, it remains silent on broadcasting rights.
Whatever the benefits, it seems clear that IP rights in general, and broadcasting rights in particular, will continue to play a key role in bringing in funds. If past experience is anything to go by, Rio 2016 not only promises new sporting achievements, but also the breaking of new records in terms of profits produced from the sale of broadcasting and other media rights.
【文章大意】文章主要介绍了巴西保护知识产权的World Cup Law和Pele Law。
