Mara was going to stay with her friend Fanny for three days. A week before her trip, she called Fanny to tell her when the train would arrive. Fanny asked Mara to wait for her at the west entrance(入口)of the railway station. The train arrived early. Mara didn’t know the station very well and instead of going to the west entrance, she went out of the north entrance and waited for Fanny there. Fanny checked at the information desk and found that the train had already arrived. She looked round near the west entrance of the station but couldn’t see Mara anywhere. She began to think that Mara must have missed the train. Mara waited at the north entrance, but she couldn’t see Fanny. She decided that Fanny was not coming to meet her after all.

Today we are sure that the mail will be sent every day to our door. But in the early days, no one could be sure about where—or when—the mail would arrive. There is a stump(树桩)of a big tree in the state of Washington. It was once a “post office”. Because people needed a place for the mail carrier(信使)to leave their letters, they found a tree at the cross of roads and cut it down ten feet from the ground. Then they hollowed it out and covered it with something. Inside, they put many boxes. Each box had a family’s name on it. The mail carrier could leave letters there for everyone. Even earlier, when there was no post services, people gave their letters to any traveler going in the right direction. Often they gave them to a traveling shoe maker. The traveler might stop in a small hotel and he would leave the letters there. But the letters stayed there until the person to receive them happened to come by and stop at the hotel. Today an airmail letter can travel across the world in much less time than that. And you know that your letter will go where you want it to go, and when.

December 25th is Christmas Day. Many Americans are busy with Christmas and the winter holiday season. Buying a Christmas tree is one important part of the holiday. Christmas trees come in all shapes(形状)and sizes. Maybe the most famous is the large Christmas tree near the White House in Washington, D. C. If you believe that Christmas trees come from forests(森林), you are wrong: most trees are carefully grown on farms. Farmers plant and sell Christmas trees just as they grow fruits or vegetables. About thirty-three million Christmas trees are sold in North America each year. It can take as many as fifteen years to grow a tree as high as two meters, but the growing time is usually seven years. Farmers care for the young trees until they are about three to five years old. Then farmers plant them again in fields. Farmers cut the highest part of the trees when they do not want them to grow too fast. They also cut other parts of the trees while the trees are growing. This gives the trees the shape that people will like.
