24、 common to welcome guests. Such practice has evolved into the Christmas celebration.The formal Christmas Tree was introduced to England about 100 years ago when Queen Victoria married German Albert. The evidence of Victorias love for Albert is not only expressed through inheriting the German traditi

25、on of having a Christmas Tree but also through the gold Albert Statues that Victoria had ordered to build for Albert, standing in many places in London. In America, the Christmas Tree idea was brought by German immigrants too.The custom of sending Christmas cards was initiated in England around 1850

26、. The first cards were decorated with elaborate designs of flowers, birds and landscapes.As for Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, the story goes back to the third century.Legend has it, Saint Nicholas dedicated all his life to helping mankind, especially children.

27、e Saint Nicholas Day in many European countries and that was when gifts were given to children.

32、l for individuals to feel powerless. Yet, everything you do is vitally important. It may not seem to amount to much in the grand scheme of things, but your seemingly small actions, added together, can make a big difference. Here are some things you can do:Protect Wildlife Habitat. Perhaps the greate

33、st threat to many species is the widespread destruction of habitats. Farming, development, and cutting down of forests all result in loss of wildlife habitats. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities o

They can even prey on native species directly, greatly reducing their population. one way to reduce the threat of invasive species is to grow native plants in your garden and to welcome native animals into your yard.Place bird-shaped paper

36、 on your windows. It is estimated that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year due to collisions with windows.

41、eading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written.
