《2026年水木金卷高考模拟试卷精编英语》

C
Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail representing efficiency and speed is prevalent(盛行的) in China, there is another type of mail appearing as a new business: “Future Mail”. “Future Mail” service can make people slow down and let them understand the meaning of “time” in another way. And “Future Mail” letters are “reminders of affection, friendship and love”.
Lin Xiaofan, a senior high school student in Hefei, wrote a letter to her mother in advance to express her love to her mother for next Mother’s Day. Feng Xiao, a youth who feels pressure despite some achievements in her career, decided to write a letter to herself on her 25th birthday and have it delivered five years later on her 30th birthday through a “Future Mail”. She expressed her thoughts about her present life and her expectations for the future to encourage herself to face up to the challenges of her life with courage.
While “Future Mail” is gaining popularity, some people are concerned about what happens if the postal address of the receiver changes or if the company goes broke before letters are delivered. Actually, customers are required to complete an acceptance form and make an assessment so they can be compensated if their letters or goods are lost or damaged.
Most of the business’s customers are college students and young white-collar workers. Psychologists said young Chinese might give vent(发泄) to their negative feelings through the service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letters so they can experience the connection between “past” and “present” while they receive the letters. It can help people reunderstand the meaning of “time”.
