Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Even where there is an efficient ‘door-to-door’ delivery system, there are additionaladvantages in using Post Office (PO) boxes There are certain con veniences for using POboxes

PO boxes allow mail to be picked up when sorted, rather than when it is delivered tothe physical address, which will be some hours later

A mail user who regularly receives large parcels or items that must be signed for mayfind it convenient to pick up the rest of the mail at the same time

A mail user who moves frequently can keep a mailing address

A mail user may desire a more famous or prestigious address For example, inWashington, D.C., many large P.O box facilities are located near or even outside citylimits

A business receiving large volumes of mail may maintain separate post office boxes forseparate departments, such as one for sales, one for customer service, to reduce the need

to sort internally

PO boxes are more secure than many home mailboxes, preventing mail theft andidentity theft

If you live on a boat, PO boxes can serve as your address, but are not necessary

36 A PO box is more convenient for a mail user who frequently moves,

a True b False c No information

37 If you use a PO box, you can get your mail earlier than you use a door-to- door deliverysystem

38 Home mailboxes are surely opened by mail thieves

39 Each business can rent only one PO box

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious They areendangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory

At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand forelephant ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it isillegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere

“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching andloss to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice presi dent for speciesconservation, told The Washington Post in September And so our message is, ‘Don’t buy

it, and don’t take that chance’.”

A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory itemsbetween 1995 and 2002 Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said
