三、閱讀題(每題2分，共20分)

Passage A

Every town in the United States has a post office. Some are very small, and you may also find them in the corner of a shop. Others are larger buildings. They are open 5 days a week and on Saturday mornings. From Monday through Friday they are usually open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you know how much the postage is for your letter, you can buy stamps at any window. In some post offices you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at many different prices, from one cent to many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage is for your letter, you may ask the man or the woman in the post office for help. He or she will give you the stamps you need. If you are sending your letter far away, you should use airmail envelopes. Remember that postage will be more expensive for a letter to be sent outside the country.

At a post office you can also buy postcards. A postcard is cheaper than a letter. Usually the price of postage for a postcard is about half that of a letter. The postcards that you buy at a post office do not have pictures. However, they are not to be sent outsides the country.

Passage B

Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun (孫燕姿) looks just like any other young girl. She has short hair, a clear face and a sweet smile. However, there is something about her that makes her very special: her voice. With a unique and powerful voice, Sun has become a bright star and has released many albums (專輯).

Sun was born in Singapore. When she was a child, her father told her: “A person should always have something to do for a hobby, and be good at something in life.” Sun chose to learn to play the piano when she was only five. Then, she took up kick-boxing (自由搏擊) because she wanted to make herself stronger. Her voice talent was discovered by her music teacher Lee Weisong and her first album was released in 2000, which was a major success for Sun.

Sun often sings about the pain and happiness of growing up. The simple but true feelings in her music are especially loved by teens. “Sun may be a star, but she seems like a common girl. She is close to us,” said Zhu Liying, 15, a Beijing student. “Her songs give me courage.”

After some years of hard work, Sun became tired and she stopped singing for a while and had a one-year holiday to travel. “I won’t give up singing. I just want a rest and to try something new. I hope to make better music when I come back,” Sun said then.

Now she is working hard again to bring her fans more beautiful music.
