A rich American went to Paris and bought a very strange picture painted by a fashionable modern artist. The American thought the picture was very fine because he had paid a lot of money for it. But when he came to his hotel and wanted to hang the picture up on the wall, he could not tell which was the top and which the bottom of the picture. The American turned the picture this way and that, but still could not decide which was the top and which was the bottom.So he thought of a plan. He hung the painting in the dining-room and invited the artist to dinner. When the artist came, the American said nothing to him about the picture.When the artist began to eat his soup, he looked at the picture many times. When he began to eat his fish, he put on his glasses and looked at the picture again. Before he began to eat his fruit, he got up and walked over to the picture to look at it more closely. At last when they began to drink their coffee, he understood that the picture was upside down."Why, my friend", he said, "my picture is hung upside down".
"Oh, is it?" said the American. "Why didn't you tell me so at once?"
"Well, you see, I was not sure myself at first", said the artist.

In the room where Mr Small. Dr Foam and Mrs Bulmer were talking to the children, there were some really old people. Mr Small went up to one of them. "I see that you're a very old man." he said.
"Yes. I am. I'm 90." the old man replied.
"Could you give the children here some advice about a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle?" Mr Small asked.
"Sure. Follow my example. Don't smoke, don't drink, don't eat too much sugar or fat and drink lots of water."
At that moment Dr Foam found another old man. who looked older than the first one. He was sitting in a wheelchair, but his eyes were merry and bright.
"How old are you, sir?" Dr Foam asked.
"I'm ninety-five." the man replied.
"Can you tell us why you have lived so long?" Doctor Foam asked.
"It's easy. I always do exercise, and I don't smoke or drink. I spend a lot of time in the open air and I'm a vegetarian." Just then Mrs Bulmer decided to join in the conversation. She saw a very, very old man in the corner of the room. He had no teeth or hair and he couldn't see or hear very well, so she had to come very close to him. The children followed her.
"May 1 ask you a couple of questions, sir," she shouted.
"Yes." the old man whispered.
"Why have you lived so long, sir?" Mrs Bulmer asked.
"I don't know." the man replied.
"Tell us about your lifestyle," Mrs Bulmer continued.
"OK, then. I smoke thirty cigarettes a day and drink a bottle of whisky every day. Sometimes I also have two bottles of beer. I never eat vegetables or fruit and I live on chocolate and cakes."
"How old are you, sir?" Mr Bulmer exclaimed.
"I'm forty." the "old" man replied.

Education in the United States


There is no
federal educational standard in the USA. Schooling and educational programmes
are the responsibility of each state; this is why one can find great
differences in education from state to state. No uniform demands exist on
education in schools or universities through-out the nation. In most states
attending school is obligatory for children between six and seventeen.
Secondary education institutions include elementary schools and high schools.
Higher education in the USA is not nation-wide. Colleges differ a lot from each
other in scale and level of education as well as in the "quality" of
diplomas given. There are private and state universities. Private education is
considered more prestigious. The most famous private university is Harvard.
Higher education is rather expensive in the USA.A typical American university has two levels of education: two years of undergraduate classes and two more years of graduate
classes. The undergraduate years are called the freshman and the sophomore
year. During the first and the second year the students take subjects of general
education: Science, Humanities, Arts. The specialization begins at the third
and the fourth years, named the junior and the senior year respectively. After the
fourth year at college, students get a Bachelor's degree. Graduates may
specialize further and do research. They get a Master's Degree.
