  Passage E
Sending E-cards on the Internet
  The Internet has changed our habits, including our habit of sending greeting cards. There are many e-card websites that make it so easy to find the right greeting cards. They have greatly changed the way we send greetings to each other.
  Our lives have become so busy that we have limited personal time . These e-card websites have allowed everyone to easily share their feelings and emotions(感情) with the people they love. They contain (包括)plenty of greeting cards that can be used immediately. The users can choose any card they like, from festival greetings to birthday wishes. In fact, e-cards are perfect for any event. That’s why more and more people like to send e-cards. If the users are interested in making their own greeting cards on the Internet, they can create a card within only a few minutes.
  Another benefit(好处) of e-card websites is that they have made it possible for us to send top quality cards to our beloved(心爱的) ones and surprise them with cheerful greetings. They allow us to send our greetings on a specific(特定的) date. So we can plan for the occasion(场合) when we want to send the card. For example, we can send our e-card on a certain day and then visit the person with some flowers the next day. This will surely create a good impression(印象) on the person we love.
  We have never forgotten the importance of saying sorry to our beloved ones. But sometimes we fail to do so because, we are not brave enough to face those we hurt. Some e-cards on these websites allow us to express our feelings in a more thoughtful way.
  Although some people still would rather buy traditional cards in the shops for the persons they love, especially when they want the cards to last a long time, more and more people are choosing to send greetings on the Internet.

Japanese children are so happy because they have three festivals each year. Including Boy’s day, they have Girl’s day and the 7-5-3 Festival.
May 5th is Japanese Children’s Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy’s day. On Boy’s day, children don’t have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags(鲤鱼旗). The flags are usually with three colors: black (standing for the father), red (standing for the mother), and blue (standing for the son). 1) Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.
Girl’s day is a girls’ festival on March 3rd. It is also called the Doll’s Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their children to be strong and healthy.

A type of bird that is now extinct (消失) is the passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon lived in the eastern part of North America. Scientists believe that in the year 1500 there were as many as five billion of these birds living from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. They flew at great speeds and would travel to many places to look for food. Passenger pigeons grew to be about 16 inches long.
Settlers who came to North America killed the passenger pigeon for food and for its feathers. The forests where they lived were cut down to clear the land for farming. Because the passenger pigeon laid only one egg at a time, their population did not grow quickly. The last passenger pigeon died at Cincinnati Zoological Gardens in 1914.
Another type of bird that has become extint is the dodo. The dodo lived on an island called Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It had short, stubby legs and wings and a large curved beak. The dodo was about the size of a large turkey. It was acturally related to the pigeon, but it could not fly. Like the passenger pigeon it laid only one egg at a time. Dodos became extinct because they were eaten by sailors and animals, such as pigs and monkeys, that the sailors brought to the island. The dodo is believed to have died out in 1680.
Another flightless bird that has become extinct is the moa. The moa lived on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Like the dodo, the moa’s legs were shorter, but some of these birds grew to be more than ten feet tall. And the causes of its extinction is the same as the dodo’s.   The moa is believed to have died out sometime during the 1700s.
小题1: Were there many passenger pigeon in the year 1500?
小题2: When did the last passenger pigeon die at Cincinnati Zoological Gardens ?
小题3: Where did the dodo live before it died out?
小题4: How many kinds of birds have died out in the passage?
