The Penny Black
Before Sir Rowland Hill came up with his idea of a stamp, very few people in England were able to send and receive letters. People couldn’t pay for their letters in advance; it was the people who received the letters who had to pay for them. The postman took the money when he brought the mail.
Letters were expensive too. At the beginning of the 19th century a letter cost four pence for a distance of seven miles. Over seven miles and under fifteen miles it cost sixpence. At that time a worker earned four pence a day.
In 1837 Sir Rowland Hill, a school master, published a pamphlet called “Post Office Reform”. The main ideas of the pamphlet were: “Letters shouldn’t be so expensive. The price of a letter shouldn’t be more than one penny. Everybody should be able to send letters.That’s how Sir Rowland Hill invented the first official stamp in the world and became the father of modern post office.
The stamp is called the Penny Black because it cost one penny, had a watermark of a small crown and was black in colour.
1.Who was able to send and receive letters before appearing of a stamp?
a) a lot of people b) very few people c) nobody was able
2. How much did a letter for a distance of nine miles cost?
a) four pence b) five pence c)six pence
3 Who had to pay for the letters?
a) the people who sent them b) the people who received them
c) the postman
4. What were the main ideas of Sir Rowland Hill?
a) everybody should be able to send letters b) everybody should send letters
c) everybody should pay for the letters
5. Why was the first stamp called the Penny Black?
a) Penny Black invented it b) there is a picture of Penny Black on it
c)it cost one penny and was black

1A. It was late at night. Sophie was sleeping. Yellow light shone into her bedroom from the street lamp outside the window, but there was no sound of traffic. Everything was quiet.
B. Sophie was very frightened, but she knew what to do. She quickly rolled under the bed. The room was still shaking. One of Sophie’s pictures fell off the wall and it broke. Sophie screamed for help. Then she heard her farther shouting her name.
C. Sophie and her parents went outside. All their neighbours were standing in the street. Everyone was scared, but they all felt happy to be alive. Sophie’s dad hugged her and said, “You are a brave girl, Sophie. I am very proud of you.”
D. Then there was another rumbling noise. The bed shook and Sophie fell onto the floor. She felt the floor moving under her. It was as if the whole house was jumping up and down.
E. Suddenly there was a low rumbling noise and Sophie’s bed rocked gently. Sophie woke up, looked at the ceiling and saw that the bedroom was swinging. She sat up and looked around. She didn’t know what was happening.
F. He was trying to open her bedroom door, but he couldn’t open it. Sophie screamed again and started to cry. It was just then that the shaking stopped and her father burst through the door. “It’s OK, Sophie,” he said. “You are safe now.
