People send birthday greetings by using cards in both eastern and western countries．It is not known when and where exactly the tradition of sending birthday cards began．It is believed that it began in England in the early nineteenth century．In those days people sent birthday cards when they couldn't wish somebody a happy birthday in person．

In 1840 the first stamp was used in Britain and sending birthday cards became easier，cheaper and more popular．The development of color printing processes（工艺流程） in the 1930s also helped to increase sales of birthday cards．

Today cards are often given with a present， even when people can express their wishes face to face． In recent times e﹣cards have also become popular． Many people are starting to use e﹣cards instead of traditional cards because they are free， environmentally friendly and easy to arrive． So will e﹣cards take place of paper cards completely in ten or twenty years？ Probably not． For example， for kids and old people， they don't use e﹣cads very often．

If our birthday is coming soon， do you wish that at least one person could congratulate you with a beautiful card then？

In many countries around the world，May 1 ^stis a holiday which is called Labor Day or Workers' Day．It is an interesting holiday that honors working people and their jobs．But do you know how it started？

During the late 1880s， in many parts of the world．people worked for fourteen to sixteen hours a day in factories，but made very little money．Later，in the United States and Canada，working people got together to set up unions（工会）．The union leaders asked factory bosses for shorter working time and higher salaries（工资），but many of the bosses ▲．

On May 1 ^st，1886，men and women in the United States and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets．They walked through cities and towns to forcebosses to let them work eight hours a day． In the city of Chicago，several people died in fighting with the police．Over the next few years， people in cities around the world stopped working on May 1 ^stto honor workers everywhere． By the early twentieth century， the first of May became a national holiday in many countries．

However， in the United States and Canada， May 1 ^stis not a holiday． North Americans celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in September． Today in the United States， Labor Day is mostly about having fun． People enjoy a long weekend and often celebrate it by having picnics with friends or family． In many parts of the United States， Labor Day is also the last day of summer vacation， and students return to school the next day．
