IT’S INTERESTING TO KNOW
1. For those times when you must go to the office, you’ll still be using a car. However the power sources will be a non-polluting combination of hydrogen and electricity. The highway will have a guidance system so you won’t actually be driving most of the distance. You’ll be free to listen to music or watch a movie.
2. Who’ll be cleaning house while Mom and Dad are sitting in front of their computers? Robots – tine ones that look like insects and hang around in corners eating the dust. One of the designers predicts that in just a few years, small, intelligent robots are going to be doing all the household work.
3. Some futurists predict that doctors will be able to place tiny computer chips into people’s brains to increase learning ability. Everyone will learn very quickly, and education will continue throughout life. Virtual-reality technology will become common. On a typical school day, the geography class will be visiting Antarctica …
4. Studies show that a large majority of people want commercial TV to produce more educational and informational programs.

NATURE
1. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in the North America. This freshwater lake is embraced by mountains. Lake Tahoe fills a basin that formed 2 million years ago. It is fantastically bright blue. Everywhere around the lake you can see wonderful mountains and forests to explore.
2. Lake Baikal is the world’s oldest, largest and deepest freshwater lake, surrounded by mountains covered with multi-coloured taiga. Its vast blue water breathes freely, its waves rise slowly and then wash softly against the stony shore. But behind its leisurely rhythm there lies enormous strength.
3. The main lakes located in Canada (many large lakes are traversed by the Canada-US border) are Huron, Great Bear, Superior, Great Slave, Winnipeg, Erie and Ontario. Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories is the largest lake situated entirely in Canada; its area is more than 31,000 square kilometres.
4. The Highlands of Scotland are among the oldest mountains in the world. They reach their highest point in Ben Nevis (1343 m). Many valleys between the hills are filled with lakes, called lochs. The best-known is Loch Ness where some people think a large monster lives.

HOLIDAYS IN THE USA
1. Labour Day is traditionally celebrated on the first Monday of September. The first Labour Day parade was held in New York in 1882. The US Congress declared it a national holiday in 1894. Americans are very proud of their tradition of hard work to increase their economic status.
2. To people all over the world, Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents. Father Christmas comes into houses in the night and leaves gifts for the children. Americans gave Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, as they call him, a white beard, dressed him in a red suit and made him a cheery old gentleman with red cheeks and a twinkle in his eye.
3. Easter celebrates the Christian belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many Americans follow old traditions of colouring hard-boiled eggs and giving children baskets of candy. On the next day the President of the US holds an annual Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn for young children.
4. National flags are not only symbols of a country. They convey past history and future goals. The current American flag called “Stars and Stripes” has 13 red and white alternating stripes (representing the original 13 states-colonies) and 50 stars (each star represents a state) on a blue background. Flag Day is celebrated on June 14.

CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
1. In the Bijago Islands the roles that men and women play are different. Men look after the children and wear jewellery and perfume when they go out. They spend hours in front of a mirror brushing their hair and choosing clothes to wear. Women find building houses preferable to shopping and do all kinds of jobs men normally do in other countries.
2. In ancient Egypt people had their palms (ладони) and soles (подошвы) of their feet stained with a red vegetable paint. They also decorated their faces with blue paint. Women had their skin lightened with a reddish-yellow colouring; men had theirs darkened with orange paint. Both men and women used to line their eyes heavily with black powder.
3. Some fashions develop from religious beliefs. Rastafarians have their long hair twisted into thick strands (пряди). These are called dreadlocks. The lion is an important symbol in their religion and the dreadlocks symbolise a lion’s mane (грива). Many other people, black and white, have adopted this hairstyle simply because they find it attractive.
4. High heels (каблуки) and platform shoes are not new. Hundreds of years ago, people used to wear them in the street because the streets were full of rubbish (мусор). The rubbish didn’t touch their feet so their feet and dress didn’t get dirty. However they were uncomfortable and even dangerous to wear because of the terrible conditions of the roads.
