    (B) When you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelop or on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Ho was the first to think of this idea? In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post officers had to send many people to get the postage. Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in the 1850’s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. They could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters. 61．People began to use stamps . ( ) A．in the middle of the nineteenth century B．at the beginning of the nineteenth century C．at the end of the nineteenth century D．In the late nineteenth century 62．Before stamps were used, postage was paid by .
