Every town in America may have a post office. Some are very small, and you may also find them in the corner of a shop. Others are large buildings. They are open five days a week and Saturday mornings. From Monday through Friday they are usually open from 8: 30 to 4: 30. If you know how much the postage for your letter, you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at many different prices, from one cent to many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage is for your letters, you can ask the clerk(职员). He or she will give you the stamps you need. If you are sending your letters far away, write on the envelope that you want them to go by air or use an air-mail envelope. Remember that postage will be more expensive for a letter you want to send overseas. 36. A post office is open in America.

The future of the Secombe Theatre in Sutton is in doubt after a government report spreads fears of closure. The report says the theatre does not meet modem standards for arts events and the site is capable of a larger-scale (更大规模的) development. While it promises to plan for a neighborhood center, it fails to make any mention of a new theatre, which has left many asking why. Leading figures from the arts circle have come togther to fight for the 21-year-old theatre. Barbara Windsor, chairman of the Performing Art Society, said: "If they have to tear it down it would be a waste of a good theatre. Every town needs a heart." John Stevens, of Sutton Theatre Company, said the theatre had suffered from a lack of money and business support. "There’s a crying need for a theatre in Sutton and the public will lose out if the Secombe goes." Peter Geiringer, a city government official also argued that a neighborhood center was not the same as a theatre. "It’s silly; this is the death of the Secombe. They’re going to replace (代替) it by a hall so no one in Sutton will be able to go to a real theatre." Leslie Coman, member of city committee for the arts, said: "The Secombe has played an out- standing role in the cultural life of this town over many years. It is only right that the committee continues to look at how it can provide new buildings for artists’ workshops, and performances." Sutton Arts Committee Chairman Tony Kerslake said: "At some stage a building comes to the end of its life. If a new one was built in the same place, I would accept that as progress.\ The underlined word "it" ( line 3, para. 6 ) refers to______.
A. [A] the city government
B. the city committee for the arts
C. Sutton Theatre Company
D. Performing Arts Society
