It is not known when and where exactly the tradition of sending birthday cards began. It is believed that it began in England in the early nineteenth century. In those days people sent birthday cards when they couldn't wish somebody a happy birthday in person.In 1840 the first stamp was used in Britain and sending birthday cards became easier, cheaper and more popular. The development of color printing processes(工艺流程)in the 1930s also helped to increase sales of birthday cards.Today cards are often given with a present, even when people can express their wishes face to face. In recent times e-cards have also become popular. Many people are starting to use e-cards instead of traditional cards because they are free, environmentally friendly and easy to arrive. So will e-cards take the place of paper cards completely in ten or twenty years? Probably not.

His book, The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but also provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.Born into a wealthy family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed impossible for him to make his dreams come true. He needed to manage the family farm and to take care of his mother.But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel, she refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when he was free.So at the age of twenty and with his mother's help, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind his mother and his new wife. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During these years, he carefully studied the land he passed through, and recorded his experiences as well as many discoveries(发现)in a diary, which became The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.Although Xu was rich, he avoided comfortable travels. He preferred to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment carefully, and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and wild forests where few people lived.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed(毁坏)or lost.
