分析 短文大意:
想对迪斯尼乐园说声"您好"吗?那就寄一张明信片吧!
你可以在一个地方看到美丽的乐园,野生动物,搞笑的图片.在哪里呢?在明信片上.人们一直邮寄的是明信片吗?不,在明信片之前,人们喜欢密写信.
第一张带图片的明信片于1861年出现.是由John P.Charlton想出来的.他认为用带图片的卡片来寄一条信息是一个很好的方式.所以在十九世纪末带图片的卡片出现了.按当时的法律规定,人们须在印图片的那一面上面写上他们的便笺!在背面仅仅写地址.几年之后,英国允许前面分开的明信片.这样,人们可以把他们的便笺写在背面左边,把地址写在背面右边.在二十世纪初期,成为明信片的黄金时代,带有图片明信片成为世界上最狂热的明信片.在1908年,单单美国就有有六亿七千七百万人邮寄明信片.今天,邮政卡是世界上除收集邮票和硬币后第三个最受欢迎的收藏.
