A New Down
It was a beautiful morning and Mary 1) woke up earlier than usual. She 2) hadn’t slept very well, but that was probably because of the unfamiliar room she 3) was staying in. After all, this was the first time she 4) had been separated from her parents and pet dog, Floss. It was all very strange.
“Come on, girl, you 5) don’t want to be late for your interview,” Mary said to herself. “It 6) is going to be an interesting day.”

Building Bridges
We all expect that the doctors who look after us should be well-qualified and know exactly what 1) treatment we need when we are ill.
What is equally important, however, is that doctors should be 2) sensitive to our concerns when they talk to us. A doctor who looks smart, and who can have a warm and sympathetic 3) conversation with a new patient, will make a far better 4) impression on that patient than one who is cold and distant.
Doctors have to have the ability to communicate with their patients, and their relatives, in a 5) professional but friendly way. If a doctor can gain the trust of patients and their loved ones from the start, then the patient will have a far better chance of making a 6) satisfactory and swift recovery.
G Read the text. For gaps 1-7, choose А, В, C or D to complete each gap correctly.
Today, it is quite a simple matter to send a letter or postcard almost anywhere in the world. You write a letter, put it into an addressed envelope, make sure that you have 1) stuck on the correct stamp and pop it into a letter box. A day or so later, you can be reasonably certain that your correspondence will have reached its 2) destination.
This is all very different to what the situation was like before the postal reforms that Sir Rowland Hill introduced in Great Britain in 1840. Before that time, it was not the sender of the letter who paid the postage, but the receiver, and the 3) amount he or she had to pay depended on how many pages were in the letter and how far it had travelled.
This system was slow, complicated, and very inefficient. The postal services 4) lost a lot of money because anybody receiving a letter could simply refuse to accept the delivery if they thought they were being asked to pay too much money for it.
Hill was not alone in recognising the need to modernise the postal services, but it was his ideas that the government of the time accepted and in May, 1840 the worldtasks first pre-paid postage stamp, the taskPenny Blacktask, went on 5) sale. The stamp was very simple in design with the profile of Queen Victoria against a black background. Above and below the Queentasks face were the words taskOne Pennytask. These were the only words on the stamp because, at that time, no other country was producing prepaid postage stamps and so it was probably assumed that everyone would know where they came from! This situation changed rapidly as other countries 6) took up the idea.
Within thirty years, most countries had their own postage stamps and they all carried the name of the country to show their origin, except British stamps. To this day, British stamps remain 7) unique as they still do not carry any words to show that they are British.
