.阅读理解
The first organized system that was used to send messages began in Egypt around 1500
B.C..This system developed because the pharaohs
(法老王)frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their
empire running smoothly.Later，the Persians(波斯人) developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses.Message carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other.
The problem with early systems for sending messages was that only the government was allowed to send messages.Businesses and other people had to find their own ways for delivering messages to distant places.Later，with the fall of the Roman Empire，organized postal systems almost complexly disappeared in Europe for 600 years.In China，however，Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages.This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system.The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of his delivery lines.
It wasn't until the 1500s that a wellorganized postal system appeared again in Europe.One family gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and arts of the Spain.This family continued to carry mail，both government and private，throughout Europe for almost 300 years.However，governmentcontrolled postal systems finally took over private postal businesses，and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.These early government systems remained quite expensive public use until 1840 when Roland Hill suggested lowering postal rates in order to encourage more people to use the system.Soon after that many other countries took up his idea.
