（2024·安徽·三模）If you go to the UK, you’re sure to see some small red “boxes” on the streets. They are postboxes. They are an important part of Britain.
King Charles I started the British Royal Mail service in 1635. Then in 1840, Royal Mail brought out the first stamp, the Penny Black. But people still had to go to the post office to send a letter or wait for a bellman to collect it.
Anthony Trollope, who worked in a British post office, had an idea. While traveling for work in Europe, he saw roadside postboxes in France and Belgium. He thought similar boxes would be good in Britain. In 1852, the first postboxes were made, but they were only used on the Channel Islands.
The next year, postboxes started to appear all over Britain. At first, they were green and of different shapes and sizes. But there were problems. People couldn’t always see them and even walked into them. So in 1874, Royal Mail made them all red. By 1879, the postboxes all became the way they look now—red, tall, and with a round hat-like shape at the top to keep out the rain.
Over the years, the General Post Office has kept making the boxes. Every box has the royal cypher (徽章) on it. It shows who the king or queen was when the box was made.

Our cities are busy and full of people. They’re not smart enough. Wu Yuhang, 13, from Dongguan, Guangdong Province, thinks this is a problem.
“Crossing the street can be dangerous. People cannot keep their eyes off their phones. Drivers cannot see traffic lights if their cars are behind a big truck. I once saw a billboard (广告牌) fall down in a storm. That’s the most terrible,” said Wu. “I’m trying to find smart ways to solve these problems.”
Over the past few years, Wu has invented an assistant system (辅助系统) for traffic lights. It sets LED lights along the road so that drivers can see traffic lights more easily.
To make his inventions, Wu learned programming, building models and so on. But Wu said the most important thing is to find people’s problems in lives.

Once there were four beggars (乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.
“I only got this piece of meat today,” the first said. “I almost got nothing,” the second said, “I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day.” The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, “I only got some old beans, but they aren’t very nice!”
As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had an idea. “Let’s put all things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend (假装) to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat alone later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.

Mike and Dave are walking through the woods one day when they find a big, deep hole. Mike takes a look at it and says, “Wow! That looks deep.”

Mike says, “You bet (打赌) we did! The craziest thing I ever saw. It came running like crazy and jumped into that hole!”
