　　(2017·襄阳3月调测)

　　Two Christmas traditions have come under attack in recent years from environmentalists: Christmas cards and Christmas trees.

　　Paper cards are seen as wasteful and, for some people, going cardfree is another way of going green. They also argue that in a world of email, Skype, Facebook and Twitter, people are in touch all the time anyway; they no longer need the yearly card that connects them with long lost friends. If you want to send Christmas greetings, there are free ecards, which get the job done with no postage or wasted paper.

　　However, especially for people who didn't grow up with email, there is something missing from a Christmas email. The first Christmas cards appeared in London in 1843 and were designed by the same man who had introduced the world's first postage stamp three years earlier. His name was Sir Henry Cole.

　　They rose in popularity throughout the 20th century. Many people sent cards that were sold for charity. The most famous of these are the ones sold for UNICEF. In the UK this year, in the three weeks before Christmas, the post office expects to handle 100 million cards every day. Environmental awareness also means that nowadays many people recycle their cards; this helps raise money to plant more trees, as well as recreating more paper.
