1) Grade school in the U.S.: It is necessary to have some knowledge of grade schools in the U.S. ―the third year in high school‖ (Para. 1) equals ―the eleventh grade‖ (Para. 9). U.S. student generally go

through elementary schools (kindergarten to 5th or 6th grade), middle schools (grades 6-8) or junior

high schools (grades 7-9), and high schools (grades 9-12 or 10-12).

2) What American teachers wear in school: Nowadays, people in the U.S. love to dress casually. Even among those companies with a rigid dress code some now allow employees not to wear suits

on Fridays. U.S. teachers wear fairly formal clothes to school, but not necessarily suits and ties.

3) The Art of Eating Spaghetti (Teacher’s Book, P2,2)

pulpy and is usually served with sauce, not in soup.

(2) The art of eating Spaghetti:

① Hold the fork in your hand as if to poke the spaghetti;

② Scoop up a small amount of spaghetti on your fork and raise it about 30 cm above your plate;

③ Make sure the spaghetti on your fork is completely disconnected from the remainder on your

plate;

④ Put the prongs of the fork at an edge of the plate that is free of food;

⑤ Quickly point the prongs of the fork straight down toward the plate and place the points on the

plate;

⑥ Twirl the fork to gather the spaghetti around the prongs;

⑦ With a quick scooping movement, gather up the roll around the prongs and place it in your

mouth;

⑧ Gently gather up any stray spaghetti ends that don‘t make it all the way into your mouth.

4) Pulitzer prizes: Joseph Pulitzer

Pulitzer, Joseph, 1847--1911, American newspaper publisher, was born in Hungary. He

emigrated to the United States in 1864, served a year in the Union army in the Civil War, and

became a journalist on the Westliche Post, a German language newspaper. In 1869 he was elected

to the Missouri legislature, where he earned a reputation as a liberal reformer. As owner and

publisher after 1878, he made the St. Louis Post-Dispatch a successful paper, and in 1883 he

bought the New York World from Jay Gould. His aggressive methods of building up this paper, its

Sunday issue, and the Evening World (started 1887) included the use of illustrations, news stunts,

crusades against corruption, and cartoons, as well as aggressive news coverage. William Randolph

Hearst established his New York Journal in 1895 to vie with Pulitzer's papers in sensationalism

and in circulation. The ensuing contest, with its banner headlines, lavish pictures, and emotional

exploitation of news— in short, ―yellow journalism‖—reached notorious heights in the treatment

of the Spanish-American War. Later the World became more restrained and the outstanding

Democratic organ in the United States, although it sometimes opposed party policies. In 1885,

Pulitzer was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served briefly. After 1890

partial blindness kept Pulitzer from the editorial offices, but he directed his papers no less closely

than before. He left funds to found what is now the graduate school of journalism at Columbia

Univ. and endowed the Pulitzer Prizes. In 1931, Pulitzer's sons, Ralph (1879–1939) and Joseph

(1885–1955), sold the New York papers to the Scripps-Howard chain, and the Evening World was

merged with the New York Telegram. The Post-Dispatch, under his son Joseph and then under his

grandson Joseph Pulitzer (1913–93), was cited repeatedly for outstanding journalism and public

service. Its editorial page maintained the Pulitzer tradition of independent liberalism.
