XX. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.
In most postal systems Express Mail refers to an accelerated delivery service for which the customer pays a
surcharge and receives faster delivery. Express mail is a service for domestic mail and is governed by a country's
own Postal authority. Since 1998 the international accelerated delivery services are governed by the EMS
Cooperative, Express Mail Service (EMS) is an international express postal service offered by postaladministration members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) which created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within
the framework of the UPU, a specialized agency of the United Nations, to promote the harmonization and
development of Postal services worldwide. Currently, EMS is offered by 138 of the 191 UPU member countries'
postal authorities and an integral part of their normal postal services. Seven additional countries have arrangements
to deliver EMS items. An independent auditor measures the express delivery performance of all international EMS
operators and the each member is awarded a Gold, Silver and Bronze certificate depending on their performance
for all year and these countries are recorded in the EMS Cooperative's Hall of Fame.

XXI. Read the following passage carefully, and tben answer the questions below.


Special Delivery, a domestic accelerated delivery service, was introduced on March 1885 initially with a fee of 1
Oc paid by a Special Delivery stamp. It has been transformed into Express Mail that was introduced in 1977 after
an experimental period that started in 1971 though Special Delivery was not terminated until June 8,1997.
Express Mail is a money-back guaranteed overnight to two-day service offering tracking, proof of delivery, and
insurance up to $100. Items shipped using this service can be delivered within the 48 contiguous United States and
the District of Columbia within 1 to 2 business days.
One advantage of Express Mail is that the United States Postal Service (USPS) will deliver 365 days a year,

including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays at no additional charge to some locations. USPS competitors often
charge for delivering on anything other than a business day, Unlike Priority Mail and First Class Mail, USPS does
provide real-time tracking information online and by phone for Express Mail shipments.
A complaint about Express Mail is that USPS is notorious for delivering late. Competitors guarantee overnight
delivery by as early as 8.30 am. USPS does not guarantee the delivery time, and frequently requires more than one
day to deliver.

XXII. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions below.
Postal savings systems were offered by many nations' post offices to provide depositors who did not have access
to banks a safe, convenient method to save money and to promote saving among the poor.
The first nation to offer such an arrangement was Great Britain in 1861. It was vigorously supported by Sir
Roland Hill, who successfully advocated the penny post, and William Gladstone, then Chancellor of the
Exchequer, who saw it as a cheap way to finance the public debt. At the time, banks were mainly in the cities and
largely catered to wealthy customers. Rural citizens and the poor had no choice but to keep their funds at home or
on their persons.
The original system was limited to deposits of £30 a year with a maximum balance of £150. Interest was paid at
the rate of two and one-half percent per year on whole pounds in the account. Later the limits were raised to a
maximum of £500 a year in deposits and no limit on the total. Within five years of the establishment of the system'
there were over 600,000 accounts and £8.2 million on deposit. By 1927, there were twelve million accounts - one
in four Britons - with £283 million on deposit. The British system was spun off into an independent bank,
Girobank.
The United States began a similar system in 1911 under the Act of June 25 th, 1910, it was abolished by the Act of
March 28, 1966.
Many other countries adopted such systems, but they have generally been abolished or spun off like Girobank,
However, in Japan, the post office is one of the nation's leading bankers holding trillions of yen from conservative,

risk adverse citizens. The government has been criticized for using these funds to engage in uneconomical
infrastructure projects — what in America would be called 'pork barrel spending'.
Germany has, like Japan, a postal banking system: Deutsche Postbank is a subsidiary of Deutsche Post. Postal
banking services are available at all branches.
