问题 Thank-you cards--heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness— seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human interaction.
Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette(礼节) of thank- you notes has not. While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these circumstances are a necessity, there are still those who forever postpone or are forgetful for unknown reasons. And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible than June, the month of brides and graduations, and the beginning of summer parties. "It’s a must-do thing. A real thank you does not come by e-mail. They come in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read," said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige.
Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes--any handwritten correspondence, for that matter--have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity in this e-hyper world. Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance(复兴).
More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring. "They’re more important now than ever," expert Peter Post says. "You’re building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge when someone has done something nice for you. " The payoff(回报), Post says, can be huge. "It will continue indefinitely," he says. "The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and it’s a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in. " [br] According to Letitia Baldrige______.

选项 A、real thank-you notes should be touched and handled and passed around for everyone to read
B、real thank-you notes should be handwritten
C、thank you notes will become fashionable again in the new renaissance
D、thank you notes in email do not show importance or dignity

答案 B

解析第二段中Letitia Baldrige指出“A real thank you does not come by e-mail．They come in the mail in an envelope”：“真正的感谢不能通过表达，而必须通过装在信封内的信件来表达”。紧接着第三段中指出“Don’t think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned． Handwritten thank-you notes—any handwritten correspondence，for that matter-have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity in this e-hyper world”：“千万别以为Baldrige的想法过时了．手写的感谢信以及所有手写的信件都给人特别重要和充满尊严的感觉”。因此 Baldrige认为真正的感谢必须用手写感谢信的方式才能表达，故选B)。
