7．Most British telephone cards are just plain green，but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine，International Telephone Cards．One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs．There are 100，000different cards in Japan alone，and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card．
The first telephone cards，produced in 1976，were Italian．Five years later the first British card appeared，and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries．

All children soon learn what"Don't touch!"means．They hear it often．Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up．In shops，we touch things we might buy：food，clothes．To see something well，we have to touch it．The bottoms of our feet can feel things，too．You know this when you walk on warm sand，cool grass or a hard floor．All feel different under your feet．
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling．One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin．Feel the shoes on your feet，the clothes on your body，the air on your skin．At first，it is not easy to feel these things．You are too used to them!
