Each passage is followed by some statements and questions. You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneWhen you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelope or on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to think of this idea?In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometime s they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and putthem on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.1. People began to use stamps at the beginning of the nineteenth century. AA.
