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.

TEXT II
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”.
  (…)  (Speak Up, February 2000)

century.
b)  Although  celebrities  are  very  common

c)  In the past, fame was not to actors or singers,

interest more than brilliant minds.
c)  Newspapers  and  magazines  sell  more  when
they  write  about  bad  men  than  about  good
men.
d)  Nowadays wisdom does not attract people as
fortune does.
e)  TV  and  cinema  play  a  great  role  in  turning unknown people into celebrities.

TEXT

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. The New York-based  group, which  annually  publishes  a report on the dangers faced by journalists around the world, stated that of the 389 journalists killed between 1992 and 2001, 62 of them, 16 percent, died in cross fire, while 298, or 77 percent, were targeted  for  their work. 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.

   1. attention, civilization, ancient, craters.

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.

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.
