London: home and family
Women in the late 19th century gave birth, on average, to 4.6 children during their lifetime.
By the 1950s the average had surprisingly fallen to 2.19 children per woman. By the 4-end of the century it dropped to 1.76 children per woman and has kept on falling dramatically so far.
Family reduction was partly a consequence of women’s changing status. The 20th century saw women enter the workforce and enjoy more choices about their lives, including the
choice not to marry and have children.
________________________________________. The issue of birth control was firstly brought
out into the open in 1921 by Marie Stopes. Stopes' work dispelled some of the taboos surrounding birth control, but the real revolution occurred in the 1960s with the arrival of the oral contraceptive pill.
Smaller families and more choices for women also meant smaller households, more people living
alone, more one-parent families, and more unwed parents. By the 1990s, for example, a third of all households in London were single-person households.

On That Note
One year when I was teaching second grade, a new child entered our class mid-year. His name was Daniel, and he brought a special light to our class.
Daniel came over to me one afternoon at the end of the school day. He said, “Ms. Johnson, I have a note for you from my old teacher. It’s not on paper though, it’s in my head.” Daniel leaned over and said, “She wanted me to tell you how lucky you are to have me in your class!”

The Age of Celebrities
If we tried to list all the famous names we could remember, how long would that list be? Whatever the length, the next month you could probably add a
name or two, and the following month the same again, and so on.
Celebrities are an interesting creation of 20th-century cultural life. In the past, of course, fame belonged to royal families, church officials and warlords, and legends about them abounded in popular minds. But in our times, being famous is actually very common. Many magazines the world over make their living out of celebrities´ lives. Both cinema and TV create new “sensations” every month, the so-called “flavor of the month,” whether Brad or Demi, Leonardo or Paola.
Cable TV with its 200 new channels opens up 200 new showrooms to personalities. The music industry makes unknown singers famous in less than a
season. In politics, democratic elections mean that many more people will share
power, changing position (if not policies) every four or five years. Books continue
to sell and to make their writers famous; the church still has its leaders, and press coverage, more dynamic than ever, makes big headlines three times a day, with criminals filling pages more efficiently than the good guys. Even the Hall of Fame couldn’t cope with so many names… Just take a look at our cover, and you will have plenty of examples.
What is it so? Mike Barnicle, columnist for The Boston Globe, when reflecting on changes that have taken place in society over the last few decades, wrote that “we have a life filled with famous people, rather than heroes. We have a society in which anyone who is wealthy attracts more attention – and, often, respect – than anybody who is wise”.

NEW YORK– The majority of journalists who died in the line of duty during the last decade were killed in direct reprisal for their reporting, not while covering combat, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists - CPJ.

Those who allegedly ordered a journalist’s murder had been arrested and prosecuted in just 20 cases. The report also said that 1994 was the deadliest year, when 66 journalists were killed.

Text: Moon Craters
The moon has attracted man’s attention since the beginning of civilization. Ancient Greeks discovered the influence of the moon upon the tides. Poets have looked at the moon with romantic eyes. Space scientists have not only studied it with their telescopes, but have also sent astronauts there. Nobody however, has found out all the answers to the mysteries of the moon. The origin of moon craters, for example, is still obscure. According to one theory, thousands of meteors have crashed against the surface of the moon. The impact of these crashes has formed the craters. They are pits and depressions on the lunar surface. They have many sizes and forms. Some scientists have tried to prove this theory with plaster. They have dropped objects into wet plaster, trying to reproduce the formation of craters. Unfortunately, they have not been successful.
According to other theories, the craters have appeared because of eruptions either of gas or lava. English physicist Robert Hook said, “The craters are the solidified residues of enormous bubbles”.
This dispute has not ended yet. It has been very difficult to prove these theories. Scientists have already progressed a lot, but poets can be glad – the moon is still a romantic mystery to man.

Drinking and Driving – What Can Teens Do?
It has been reiterated on numerous occasions that North America is a drinking and driving society. Driving while impaired (DWI) prevalence statistics offer support to substantiate this claim. According to coroner data collected by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation in 2004 Alcohol was a contributing factor in 30% of fatalities nationwide. Alcohol was also cited as a contributing factor for an estimated 17% of drivers involved in serious injury crashes. FACT The leading cause of criminal death in Canada is Impaired Driving.
Another scary fact is that once a young person between the ages of 16 and 19 years gets behind the wheel of a car after drinking the relative risk of being involved in a fatal collision increase more than any other age group. With a Blood Alcohol Concentration of .08 the risk rises and at .15 BAC they are 250 times as likely to be involved in a fatal crash.
7) The problem of drinking and driving involves not only the impaired driver but their
passengers, family, friends, other drivers, pedestrians – in short, everyone. Eliminating
the impaired driver is a community wide concern. 8)Teenagers are part of this community
and need to do something about this epidemic. Here’s how you can help:
9) Don’t drink and drive or let anyone else drive after consuming alcohol.
10)Don’t ride with a driver who has been drinking.
Always buckle-up!
Observe the speed limit.
Know your limitations and be aware of environmental conditions
REMEMBER – you, the driver, are responsible for the safety of yourself and your
passengers.

Windsor is one of the most interesting towns in Britain. The tourist can visit such places
as Eton College, the famous boys’ school which was founded in the fifteenth century, or
Windsor Safari Park, a type of zoo where the animals are free to move about.
But the greatest sightseeing attraction is Windsor Castle, one of the royal family’s own
homes. The Queen and her family often stay in the Castle at the weekends and the Queen
Mother ofter stays in Royal Lodge, a quiet house in the Great Park.
Windsor Castle holds happy memories for the Queen, who spent much of her
childhood here during the Second World War. Windsor is so important to the royal family
that they heve taken the name as their own family name. In 1952, Queen Elizabeth let it be
know that it was “her will and pleasure that she and her children shall be styled and known
as the House and Family of Windsor.”

THE WATER WE DRINK(1
The water we drink usually comes from reservoirs, lakes, or rivers .A large
number of cities use water and dumps it back into the river. Sometimes another
city downstream uses the some water. This water may be badly polluted with
chemical treatments are necessary to make it safe and palatable.
Many communities add some form of fluorine to their water. Fluorine in
concentrations of 0.7 to 1.0 ppm (parts per million) can significantly reduce tooth
decay in children.
Smaller communities usually obtain water from wells. Even they have
problems because sometimes the ground water is contaminated by nitrates. These
nitrates come from agricultural fertilizers and from the decomposition of organic
waste. What can we do. We can demand an end to water pollution by industries
and cities. And, finally, we must know how to use the water of the earth because
that is all the water we have.
