　　December 25th is Christmas Day. Many Americans are busy with Christmas and the winter holiday season. Buying a Christmas tree is one important part of the holiday. Christmas trees come in all shapes(形狀)and sizes. Maybe the most famous is the large Christmas tree near the White House in Washington, D.C. If you believe that Christmas trees come from forests(森林),you are wrong; most trees are carefully grown on farms. Farmers plant and sell Christmas trees just as they grow fruits or vegetables. About thirty-three million Christmas trees are sold in North America each year. It can take as many as fifteen years to grow a tree as high as two meters, but the growing time is usually seven years. Farmers care for the young trees until they are about three to five years old. Then farmers plant them again in fields. Farmers cut the highest part of the trees when they do not want them to grow too fast. They also cut other parts of the trees while the trees are growing. This gives the trees the shape that people will like.

　　It used to be that if you wanted to travel, you had to plan for a long bus or train ride. But the car changed all that.

People also needed information on interesting places to visit and how to get there, so road maps and travel guides(指南)were developed.

　　Having a car meant families could go to places far from where they lived.
