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 of 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 I 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 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 more safely.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, foi ests, woodlands, coastal fisheries, and wildlife resources is more and moi serious. The majority of the estimated costs of environmental degradatio comes from forests and natural resources are being depleted at an alarn ing rate. More than 50% of the original forest has been converted t agricultural land by slash-and-burn. Despite land expansion, productivit has declined because of soil erosion. Fish, timber, and non-timber fores product stocks are decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have begun t experience severe water shortages. Hydropower is dropping. Wildlife popi lations and biodiversity are in serious decline and many species face ej tinction. Poor forest management and soil degradation result in hug economic losses. The degradation of water increases the costs and reduce the quality of both water and power. The prospects for economic develoj ment and poverty reduction are dependent on natural resources. Ruri households rely on natural resources for their livelihoods, fisheries, an wildlife which provide protein in diets. Urban economic activities depen on reliable hydroelectric power. However, people do not have much awan ness of protecting the environment on which their life depends.
