* 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.
By the turn of the 19th century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of stagecoaches for operation on the nations
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.

Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water sailing, rowing and swimming. It is possible to swim in small
swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water. Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a
big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports swimming, rowing and sailing I like rowing best because it is the easiest to continue during the
winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one
row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one. Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze
wherever they fall. In such weather, it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is
rowing, one gets warmer the longer one goes on.

Im interested in sports, especially athletics, and I run seven or eight kilometres every day. I particularly enjoy cross country
