Passport problems 護照問題
Kathleen and Mark arrived at the airport in Bangkok with plenty of time before their flight. "That was a great vacation," Kathleen said. "Don't you think so, Mark?"
Mark nodded. "I can't wait to get the pictures developed!"
"Yeah," Kathleen agreed. "I bet some of them are really great. We did so many exciting things! What was your favorite part of the trip?"
"Hmm ..." Mark thought for a moment. "I really enjoyed seeing all the Buddhist temples, but the beach was also so beautiful. I don't know. I liked it all!"
"Me too," Kathleen said. "As a trip, it was a success!"
They stepped up to the counter to check in. "May I have your passports, please?" the woman working there asked.
Kathleen reached into her backpack to get their passports. She took out Mark's and put it on the counter. "Hey, where's mine?" she said. "Mark, where's my passport?"

凱薩琳和馬克抵達了曼谷機場，距班機起飛還有很長時間。「真是一段美好的假期，」凱薩琳說︰「你說呢，馬克？」
馬克點點頭︰「我等不及把照片洗出來囉！」
「是啊，」凱薩琳同意說︰「我敢打賭有些照片一定很精采。我們做了那麼多刺激的事！這趟旅行你最喜歡哪一部分？」
「嗯‥‥‥」馬克想了一下︰「我真的很高興看到所有佛教寺廟，不過沙灘也如此美麗。我不知道，我全都喜歡！」
「我也是，」凱薩琳說︰「這趟旅行相當成功！」
他們走到櫃檯報到。女職員問︰「可以讓我看你們的護照嗎？」
凱薩琳把手伸到背包裡拿護照。她拿出馬克的護照，把它放在櫃檯上。「嘿，我的呢？」她說︰「馬克，我的護照在哪裡？」

When people talk about fast delivery or logistics, most assume these are modern inventions. However, the need to convey messages and ship goods efficiently existed in ancient China. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the governments implemented official systems to deliver orders and military information across long distances. Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries. The main function of a yizhan was to deploy documents and personnel quickly across vast regions. Messengers would stop at these stations to change horses or rest. Sometimes,
