Over the past few years, Vietnam has quickly developed its telephone system.Vietnam ranks
second only to China for growth in the number of telephone subscribers. It is among the 30 countries
in the world that have more than two million telephone subscribers.
In the early 1990s, there were only 140,000 telephones across Vietnam. At present, we have
more than six million subscribers.
In 1996, Vietnam began upgrading its fixed telephone networks and changing numbers from
six to seven digits in Hanoi and Ho Chi Ming City as well as five to six digits in other provinces.
Five years later the mobile phone system was upgraded to meet the growth in customer
demand. Since 2000, Vietnam has reduced the price of several services, especially in the monthly
fees for fixed and mobile telephones.
In the future, more attention will be paid to the rural areas. At present, 93 percent of
communes across Vietnam have telephone services. A network of 6,014 communal post offices
have been set up across the country.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post office was set
out to improve transportation of the post office mails. From those early days to the present, the post
office has helped develop and subsidize every new mode transportation in the United States.
Transportation has been the most important element in mail delivery. Even when the general public
had still suspected of the security of a new means of transportation, the post office experimented
with inventions that offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering
embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the process.
As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile,
and airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail
contracts ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that
eventually spanned the continent.

11

By the turn of the 19 th century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of stagecoaches
for operation on the nation’s better post roads – a post road being any road on which the mail travels
– and continued to encourage new designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail safely.

A. transportation of the Post Office in the US
B. the Post Office in the Revolutionary
period
C. the Post Office in the World War I
D. transportation and public ideas
29) According to the passage, the main purpose of the Post Office is ____
A. to develop transportation
B. to apply new mean of transportation
C. to deliver mail as safely and fast as possible
D. to subsidize every new mode of transportation
30) Which means of transportation used in the Post Office is NOT referred in the passage?
A. train
B. car
C. plane
D. motorcycle
31) The Post Office ____.
A. has never used helicopters in delivery
D. makes no contribution to build roads
B. contributes income to build highways, railroads, and airways
C. has never been the first to use a new means of transportation
