【解析】本文介绍了贺卡以及贺卡的起源和发展。

【1】考查副词。副词修饰动词。故填usually。

本题难点解读：

1：从句前有被修饰的先行词，或指代一件事情，且从句中缺少作主语、宾语、表语的引导词时，根据上下文考虑使用关系代词，从句中缺少状语，考虑用关系副词。

Greeting cards also played ____3____ important part in the holiday of Valentine’s day ____4____ people would send messages to ____5____ sweethearts.此处是考查关系副词。Valentine’s day情人节做先行词，在定语从句中做时间状语。故填when。

2：句中已有谓语动词，介词后的动词与所修饰词有主动关系，说明需用非谓语动词的动名词形式。

More people are becoming interested in ____10____ (use) digital media instead of paper or other traditional materials.考查非谓语动词。介词后用动名词形式。故填using。
