Directives in 1997 and 2002 chipped away at the centuries-old monopolies enjoyed by national operators, and the proposed new law will open the whole market to competition by abolishing the "reserved area" on mail weighing less than 50 grams.

Money and Love

The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money.

But in real life young men (39) hoped for this denouement (结局) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, (40) admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care (41) all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for example, by my maternal grandfather, who had (42) romantic daughters, none of (43) married badly.
In these days of psychology the matter no (44) looks so simple as it did eighty
