With the idea of a new England in America some of the strongest English people crossed the broad Atlantic on the little ship known as “The Mayflower”. These people were independent, some of them were also learned.
Towards the end of November in 1620, this company of about a hundred persons, with Captain Miles Standish as their leader, landed not far from the place where Boston is now.
A short time after landing, they found a suitable place to live and began to cut trees and build houses. Winter came on, and they were not prepared for difficult times. Many of them got ill and about half of them died. But those who survived did not give up; they were not easily discouraged by the difficulties.

New foods are not always given an immediate welcome. For example, the potato, though introduced to England in the 17th century, did not become a national staple food until the 19th century. The tomato, which began to be consumed in very large quantities in England only from about 1880, took several years to establish itself.
Certain peoples have certain food taboos, that is, foods which are not eaten usually because of religious law. Many tribes in Africa and America do not eat pork, Hindus do not eat beef. The Chinese, by tradition, have not been milk-drinkers, and their recipes for cooking have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

A safari park is like a large zoo, where the animals live in natural conditions. There are several safari parks in Britain and they are very popular places for visit. One of the most famous is at Windsor, which is close to London airport.
You can visit some parts of the safari park on foot. Here you can see the animals that are not dangerous, like giraffes, zebras, camels and antelopes. The animals walk around as if they were in Africa.
Safari parks are much better than ordinary zoos, because the animals do not have to live in small cages.

In one Australian town in Queensland something very unusual happened: smoking was forbidden for two days. People who were seen with a cigarette, cigar or a pipe, had to pay money into a fund against cancer. In most shops and supermarkets you could only buy tobacco if you paid some extra money into that fund.
The experiment was so unusual that a lot of people and journalists from almost all the newspapers in the country came to witness it, because there were plans to do the same in other towns. When people were asked for their opinion about the experiment, some answered that they welcomed it.

The majority of Americans live in or near large cities, but small living-town is still widespread. A suburb (a small community near a big city) offers the advantages of safer, more intimate small-town life with the recreational and cultural activities of the big city nearby.
For the typical American family, home may be at different place every five or six years. Most moves relate to new job opportunities, but sometimes the American pioneering spirit and desire for adventure inspire the move.
About two-thirds of Americans live in homes or apartments that they own. But many people rent their living quarters.
