A STAR FOR A STATE
The American flag is the emblem of the United States. When the thirteen British colonies in America became the United States of America on July 4, 1776, the flag, had thirteen red and while stripes and thirteen stars in a circle on a blue field. There was one star and one stripe for each state.
It was the official flag until May 1, 1795, by then the country had two more states. Congrees added two stars and two stripes to the flag. In 1818 there were twenty states, but the flag did not look right with twenty stripes.
Now the flag does not have a stripe for each state. It just has one for each of the thirteen original states. There are fifty stars, one for each of the fifty states. Whenever the country admits a new state, it adds a new star to the flag on the next fourth of July. In 1959 flagmakers added new stars for Alaska and Hawaii.

AT THE TABLE
1. "It tastes (really) fine" or "It is delicious".
2. Never eat the stones (trying to be over-polite). Neither would it be a good idea to dispose of them by dropping them under
"The table, placing them in your pocket or in your neighbour's wine-glass. Just take them from your
mouth on your spoon and place them on your own saucer.
3. Nowhere near the table. Reading at one's meals is a bad habit; it is bad for your digestion and impolite towards others sitting at the same table.
4. Sit straight and close to the table. Don't put your elbows on the table. Don't cross your legs or spread them all over the place under the table.

5. Never lean across the table or over your neighbours to get something out of your reach. Just say: "Please pass the bread". Or: "Would you mind passing the bread, please?
6. Nothing. Keep your impressions to yourself and don't embarrass your hostess.
7. Fish dishes are generally eaten without using knife. If one does, it is considered a serious breach of good table manners. The same refers to rissoles, cereal and, in general, to anything that is soft enough to be comfortably eaten with spoon | or fork.
8. Neither. Your hand is quite correct for getting a slice of bread for yourself. After all, it is you who is going to eat it.
9. While eating, one should produce as little noise or sound as possible. It is decidedly bad manners to speak with your mouth full. Don't put your bread in your soup. Don't pour your tea in your saucer. Don't leave
much on the plate: it is impolite towards your hostess. If you have liked the dish, it doesn't follow that you should polish the plate with your bread.
10. Don't hold your spoon in your fist, don't tilt it so as to spill its contents. The fork should be held in your left hand, the knife in your right.
11. It is wrong first to cut all the meat you have got on your plate in small pieces and then eat it. Cut off a slice at time, eat it,
Ithen cut off another, holding your knife in the right hand and your fork in the left.
12. "No more, thank you"
13. Cut off and eat as much as possible by using your knife and fork; the remaining part eat by holding the piece in your hand by the end of the bone.
14. Never cool your food by blowing at it. Just wait a bit, there
is no hurry.
15. Don't leave your spoon in the glass while drinking. Put it on
your saucer.

The capital of the United - States of America is Washington. However, the city NewYork, the biggest city in the world, situated at the mouth of Hudson River, can be called the capital not only of the USA but even of the whole capitalist world. New York consists of five districts - the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Richmond.

And if we count the many suburbs of the city, its population comes to about thirteen million. In New York City, there are representatives of nearly all the world's races and nationalities and when you walk in the streets and avenues of Manhattan you can hear practically every language in the world.
In the city of New York alone, there are more than one million Afro-Americans. They mostly live in Harlem, the poorest district of New York.

I A traveller who visits New ҮогУ for the first time wonders at the new architecture. The Statue of Liberty, which he sees on Liberty Island if he arrives by sea, was apresent from France for the hundredth anniversary of American independence. This, and a few eighteenth and nineteenth century churched, hospitals, newspaper offices and other buildings are the only examples of "old" architecture in New York. Everywhere one sees sky-scrapers.
This biggest of all is the Empire State Building, which rises 1,250 feet (over 400 metres) above the ground and has 102 storeys. But it is not alone. Since the Second World War a lot of sky-scrapers of more than 30 storeys have been built in New York. One of them was the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan.
In New York, when you walk in the street, you are caught up in the stream of people hurrying along the streets and of motorcars and buses speeding from one place to another. But the movement is not only in the streets, it is under them and above them. Besides the underground railway, which the people о I New York call the subway, there is also the elevated railway over the streets joining different parts of the city. The old saying that "time is money" is a rule here; speed is necessary to make more money.
