We live in a fast-developing world and using snail mail is unnecessary.Making paper uses lots of energy and some cards are hard to recycle.It's bad for environment.What's more，cards are expensive to buy and so is posting.Nowadays，we usually use our phones and computers because they are quick，easy and free.Traditional cards and letters are out of date.They are not young people's cup of tea.It's no surprise that most of them end up as litter.
Group B：
The tradition has been around for hundreds of years and should stay.Sending a handwritten letter or carefully chosen card shows that you care.Phone messages and emails are quick and easy，but they seem to carry less feeling.Sending letters is good for children because it is a chance to practice writing skills.Also，it's fun!Receiving post makes you feel special and it's important if someone lives far away or is lonely — just imagine a birthday without cards!

50. 完成图表根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。
Maps mark seas，countries，cities and our homes，and guide us through the world.To know them better，let's take a look at how maps have changed over the centuries.
Many ancient countries used maps.One of the first is thought to have been drawn on the wall in Lascaux，France，around 16，500 years ago.Hidden among the drawings of birds and bulls（公牛） is a map of the stars.The Babylonian Map of the World is the oldest known earthly map，which shows Babylon and its neighboring towns on the stone.
Claudius Ptolemy made maps go global.Born in Egypt around 100 AD，he was the first person to try to make a world map.With the help of math，Ptolemy marked around 10，000 locations from Britain to Asia and Africa.line of Perhaps the most commonly used world map is the Mercator Projection.It was introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator.An important part of maps is the imaginary lines of longitude，latitude and the equator.Mercator took the globe and made it flat（平的），but to do this he had to make the areas further north and south larger，while the areas nearer the middle stay about the right size.The reason for this is that the Earth is like a ball，but a map is flat.It is easy to find places，but some people said it was unfair because places including Canada，the UK and Europe appeared much bigger than they really were.
In the 19th and 20th centuries，modern technology allowed map makers to produce maps showing locations exactly.Today，many people view maps on their phones.Researchers are working to map the floor of the oceans and to locate every tree on Earth.Scientists are also trying to map the past by using the James Webb Space Telescope（JWST）.This invention will collect light from stars and may find the secrets about the beginning of the universe（宇宙）.

Host：As we know，the British have been sending cards since the 19th century.They spend about 1，700，000，000 pounds on cards every year.However，the number of people sending cards and letters is falling.More than 30 percent of UK children have never sent or received a handwritten letter.Should the tradition of sending cards and letters be stopped？
Group A：
We live in a fast-developing world and using snail mail is unnecessary.Making paper uses lots of energy and some cards are hard to recycle.It's bad for environment.What's more，cards are expensive to buy and so is posting.Nowadays，we usually use our phones and computers because they are quick，easy and free.Traditional cards and letters are out of date.They are not young people's cup of tea.It's no surprise that most of them end up as litter.
Group B：
The tradition has been around for hundreds of years and should stay.Sending a handwritten letter or carefully chosen card shows that you care.Phone messages and emails are quick and easy，but they seem to carry less feeling.Sending letters is good for children because it is a chance to practice writing skills.Also，it's fun!Receiving post makes you feel special and it's important if someone lives far away or is lonely — just imagine a birthday without cards!

Maps mark seas，countries，cities and our homes，and guide us through the world.To know them better，let's take a look at how maps have changed over the centuries.
Many ancient countries used maps.One of the first is thought to have been drawn on the wall in Lascaux，France，around 16，500 years ago.Hidden among the drawings of birds and bulls（公牛） is a map of the stars.The Babylonian Map of the World is the oldest known earthly map，which shows Babylon and its neighboring towns on the stone.
Claudius Ptolemy made maps go global.Born in Egypt around 100 AD，he was the first person to try to make a world map.With the help of math，Ptolemy marked around 10，000 locations from Britain to Asia and Africa.line of Perhaps the most commonly used world map is the Mercator Projection.It was introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator.An important part of maps is the imaginary lines of longitude，latitude and the equator.Mercator took the globe and made it flat（平的），but to do this he had to make the areas further north and south larger，while the areas nearer the middle stay about the right size.The reason for this is that the Earth is like a ball，but a map is flat.It is easy to find places，but some people said it was unfair because places including Canada，the UK and Europe appeared much bigger than they really were.
In the 19th and 20th centuries，modern technology allowed map makers to produce maps showing locations exactly.Today，many people view maps on their phones.Researchers are working to map the floor of the oceans and to locate every tree on Earth.Scientists are also trying to map the past by using the James Webb Space Telescope（JWST）.This invention will collect light from stars and may find the secrets about the beginning of the universe（宇宙）.
