The first stamp in the world was an English stamp. It was made in 1840. Before that, people paid money to the postman for every letter that they received and the postman did not give the letters to anybody who did not pay him. An English teacher, whose name was Rowland Hill, thought much about this. One day, he said that the people who wrote the letter should pay for them, and not the people who got the letters. He then spoke about it to the people in the government. Soon the post offices began to sell little pieces of paper with a stamp on them.

Read the passage and answer the following questions.
We moved into our new house on a warm September day. It was not really a new house; it was hundred and four years old, but it was new to us. The house had running water, gas and electricity, but for some reasons there were no electric lights in the kitchen. It was something quite unexpected: a house with electricity but without a kitchen light. It was quite puzzling because our kitchen was a large room, perhaps the largest in the house. I telephoned for an electrician. He came and fixed it for us. And he charged $86 for doing the job. 3
