Ⅲ. 完形填空。（15分）
When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really   36   memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could   37   get the mail without using a key! Every time I always couldn’t wait to see how much I could    38  . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my   39  . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I   40   going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my   41   with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we   42   up to see a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going   43   the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, we saw a  44   shop. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China   45  sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,   46   we were on the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write to   47   a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and   48  my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I had a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office. I had  49  the post office all these years. Today I   50   send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I always wonder how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
