(40 points)Text 1Decades before the first unaccompanied child was put on a plane to grandmas in the care of a flight attendant, a few resourceful parents accomplished the same end by simply dropping their kids in the mail.This was in the earliest days of the parcel post service, which launched in 1913. Before that, U.S. Postal Service packages were capped at four pounds, which limited the goofy things people tried to send by post.But when the parcel service began, all kinds of cargo showed up in the mail stream, including coffins, eggs, dogs and, in a few cases, human young.According to National Postal Museum historian Nancy Pope, the first known case of a mailed baby was in 1913 when Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Beauge of Glen Este, Ohio, shipped their 10-pound infant son to his grandmothers home about a mile away, paying 15 cents in postage and springing for $50 in insurance (because they were worriers).But some children were mailed much farther, Pope said. Edna Neff of Pensacola, Fla., was 6 when she was packed off or packaged off to her fathers home in Christiansburg, Va., 720 miles away.The precious parcels werent truly parcels in the brown-paper. Instead they were more like companions in the arms of their carriers or walked along the route(路线). But the most famous mailed child, May Pierstorff, was indeed sent by an Idaho railway mail car in 1914 with the appropriate stamps stuck to her traveling coat. Mays picture survives, but no physical evidence of her trip. “We would sure love to have that coat,” Pope said.In 1914, the postmaster general instituted a rule about the mail that stands to this day: no humans. But that didnt stop an ambitious thief from crating himself up and shipping himself airmail. When William DeLucia, packed in a trunk labeled “Musical Instruments” along with food and an oxygen tank, was airborne, he climbed out, pilfered thousands of dollars worth of goods from the registered mail and sealed himself back up. He was arrested at the Atlanta airport in 1980 after his trunk popped open as it was being unloaded.“We have his oxygen tank” at the Postal Museum, Pope noted with pride.1、What did U.S Postal Service put a limit to before 1913?AThe value of the mail.BThe weight of parcels.CThe content in the mail.DThe postage for packages.2、How was Jesse Beauges son mailed?APacked in a mailbox.
