听力原文/参考答案/解说

-- Are you going to the post office for stamps of to pick up a package?

-- Neither. I left a letter for the postman to take yesterday, but he left it clipped to the mailbox. And this check has got to be in the mail today. I’d better hurry.

Q: Why is the man going to the post office?

参考答案：(A)

他的讲话说得很清楚，既不是去买邮票，也不是取包果。他说昨天放在信箱里的一封信邮递员未取走，而信中的支票必须今天寄出，所以他得赶到邮局去寄掉。package: 包果。left it clipped to the mail box指该信因紧贴在信箱上被邮递员忽略未取。这里的mailbox指各家各户自己的信箱。邮递员挨户投递信件的同时，也取走各户外寄的信件。
