Dear Captain Lim,
I used to be afraid of flying, but after reading your book, I felt much    (good)every time before I flew.    (read) your book helped me to build up my courage (勇气) to fly. However, I have had this scary    (feel)again since the MH370 incident (事件). Last week, I also read a pieceof news that a plane went through severe turbulence (强烈的气流). Most passengers on it were      (scare) and several of     even got hurt. May I know whether this kind of severe turbulence often happens and have you    experienced this kind of situation before? How do pilots usually take     of it? For passengers, it seems that it’s not    to control(控制). But do pilots feel the same or is everything actually controlled by pilots when there’s severe turbulence? I really hope you can answer these
  (question). Captain Lim, please help me as I am so afraid     sometimes I can’t sleep after thinking so much about flying.
Thank you very much.

About 150 years ago, the person who sent the letter did not have to pay. The person who got the letter had to pay the postage (邮资) which cost a lot.
　　In a small village in England, “Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said a mailman. “I’m Alice Brown,” a girl of about eighteen said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.
　　Alice looked at the envelope(信封) for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman.
　　“I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage.”
　　The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter.
　　When the gentleman gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Oh, thank you very much, sir. This letter is from my brother who went to London to look for jobs. I’ve waited a long time for this letter, but now I don’t need it. I don’t have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside.”
　　“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise. “How do you know that?” “He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope. Look, sir, this cross in the corner means that he is well, and this circle means he has found a job. That’s very good news.”
　　The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill. He did not forget Alice and her letter.
　　He thought and thought for many years. “The postage has to be much lower,” he said at last. “What about a penny (便士) for a letter? And the person who sends the letter pays the postage. He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope.”
　　The government decided to adopt (采纳) the plan. The first stamp was put out in 1840. It was called the “Penny Black”. It had a picture of the Queen on it.
