Want to say "hello" from Disneyland? Send a post card!
Beautiful scenes of paradise (樂(lè)園), wild animals, silly pictures — you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.
The idea for the first decorated (裝飾) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front ——on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.
小題1:We can see some silly pictures on the post cards.
小題2:Post cards were produced before sealed letters.
小題3:In 1861, the first decorated post card appeared.
小題4: Post cards were most popular during the early 1900s.
小題5:Stamps, coins and post cards are the most popular collections in the world.

小題1:B           
小題1:B
小題1:A
小題1:A
小題1:A

小題1:由第一段可知在on a post card我們可以看到Beautiful scenes of paradise (樂(lè)園), wild animals, silly pictures，而不僅僅是silly pictures。
小題1: 由. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.“在明信片之前，人們喜歡戴印章的信。”可知信早于明信片。
小題1:由第三段第一句話可知第一張被修飾的明信片于1861年現(xiàn)身于世。
小題1:根據(jù)第三段的倒數(shù)第三句可知在二十世紀(jì)初明信片是最受歡迎的。
小題1:根據(jù)最后一段的最后一句可知郵票、硬幣和明信片是當(dāng)今世界最受歡迎的收藏。
