　　Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called One On One helps elementary students whove fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching----that is, tutoring in math and English.Youd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with match, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine,so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

　　Professor Dodge

　　will act as a mentor to the tutors----hell be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. Im sure youll enjoy this community service and youll gain valuable experience at the same time.

　　Passage 4

　　The first postal service in North America began in New England in the 17th century. All mail arriving in Massachusetts colony was sent to the home of the appointed official in Boston. In turn, he would deliver the mail from Boston on horseback to its destination, receiving one penny for each good article of mail. Later in the century postal services were established between Philadelphia and Delaware. In 1691, the British crown appointed the first postmaster general to have charge of the mail for all the colonies in North America. For some time, Benjamin Franklin served as the postmaster by the newly formed United States government. Franklin was responsible for establishing the United States postal system on a permanent basis. He increased the number of post offices, introduced the use of stagecoaches to carry mail, and started a package service system. Later, in the 19th century, as railroad and steam boats appeared, they were used to carry mail into the towns. Some communities, especially those out west, were far from the service of transportation. To serve them, the post office developed a system called star routes. Private contractors were paid to deliver mail to the communities away from railways by horse and wagon. The postal service which was started over 3 centuries ago, has developed into an extensive government service with post offices in every city, town and village in the United States.
