| *Gizmo*      | It is finally the first day of   |                   |
|              | school. Ping is very excited and |                   |
|              | very nervous. She is usually     |                   |
|              | very afraid of being lost. I'll  |                   |
|              | bet she has that fear today, in  |                   |
|              | a new school with many rooms and |                   |
|              | buildings. She will spend the    |                   |
|              | day trying to find her           |                   |
|              | classrooms. She will probably    |                   |

| On the       | Certain words in English are      |                  |
| corner of,   | called prepositions. A            |                  |
| next to      | preposition is a connecting word  |                  |
|              | that shows the relationship       |                  |

|              | some other word in the sentence.  |                  |
|              | Some prepositions show location,  |                  |
|              | such as \"over,\" \"under,\"      |                  |

|              | store. She tells Ping that the    |                  |

|              | is the prepositional phrase. The  |                  |

|              | on the corner of Fifth Avenue and |                  |

| ## Neig      | The United States is composed of many neighborhoods.  |
| hborhoods ac | These neighborhoods can be planned, as is the case    |
| ross America | with new development in sub-urban areas (the          |
|              | "suburbs"), or they can develop as a result of        |
|              | immigration or periods of economic growth.            |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In the cities, many urban neighborhoods reflect       |
|              | specific ethnic cultures, as a result of available    |
|              | housing when waves of immigrants moved to the United  |
|              | States. Various ethnic festivals are held annually in |
|              | these neighborhoods to celebrate their roots and      |
|              | share their heritage with other local residents.      |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The US historically was divided into two types of     |
|              | areas: urban and rural. The urban areas were the      |
|              | cities, packed with people, many of which resided in  |
|              | multiple family dwellings (apartments). The rural     |
|              | areas were outside the cities, and this land was      |
|              | mostly devoted to farming, to feed the residents of   |
|              | the cities.                                           |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In the prosperity following the end of World War II,  |
|              | many urban dwellers sought their own space in areas   |
|              | adjacent to the urban areas, the suburbs. Farmland    |
|              | and pastureland was sacrificed to make room for these |
|              | developments and this expansion continues to this     |
|              | day.                                                  |
|              |                                                       |
|              | However, "urban renewal" is now seen, when some       |
|              | formerly industrial areas within the cities are       |
|              | converted to residential areas. In these areas,       |
|              | warehouse properties are converted to expensive       |
|              | "loft" apartments, which are spacious and provide an  |
|              | urban connection for residents.                       |

| ## Gettin    | Americans almost always give directions from a        |
| g Directions | driver's point of view. Most people get around by     |
|              | car. Public transportation is very limited in many    |
|              | cities and especially in rural areas. Very few people |
|              | ride bikes as a form of transportation. Unless there  |
|              | are side walks or bicycle lanes, it is not very safe  |
|              | to ride a bike on public roads. Bicycling is          |
|              | considered more for exercising. In many states, it is |
|              | required for children to wear helmets when riding     |
|              | bikes on public roads.                                |

| ##           | People say that America is a society on wheels.       |
| The Privileg | Americans enjoy the convenience of having their own   |
| e of Driving | cars to take them places. For most of the Americans   |
|              | that do not live in cities that have public           |
|              | transportation such as buses or trains, the best way  |
|              | to get round is by their automobiles.                 |
|              |                                                       |
|              | American teenagers are eager to learn how to drive.   |
|              | They can get learning permits for driving when they   |
|              | are 15. Legal driving age is 16 with certain          |
|              | restrictions. Some go to driving schools to take      |
|              | formal instructions; some are taught by their parents |
|              | or other trusted adults. Everyone in the U.S. has to  |
|              | pass a written exam and a road test to get his/her    |
|              | driver's license. Speed is measured by English miles. |
|              | One mile is about 1.6 kilometers.                     |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Driving is a privilege that comes with                |
|              | responsibilities, even though many Americans believe  |
|              | it is their right to drive. Most states require       |
|              | drivers to carry auto insurance. Auto insurance for   |
|              | teenage drivers is a bit more costly than for adult   |
|              | because crash rates for teens are four times higher   |
|              | than for adults. In fact, 16-year-olds are two to     |
|              | three times more likely to be in a crash than 18- and |
|              | 19-year olds. According to the National Highway       |
|              | Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motor vehicle  |
|              | crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 20   |
|              | year-olds.                                            |
