In the United States, the president, the vice- president and the members of Congress

the public in many ways. They not only make and carry out the laws, but also deliver
letters, clean the streets, control traffic, and society. Outside the government, there
are many other people who also serve the public, such as those in private hospitals and
schools . All of these millions of people both inside and outside government can say
that they are public servants.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen? From here we can enjoy one of the most
beautiful views of San Francisco. As you can see, the city rests on hills.
The first permanent settlement was made at this site in 1776 . For thirteen years
it had a population of less than 100 ? But in 1848, with the discovery of gold, the
population grew to ten thousand? In the same year the city got its new name San
Francisco.
By 18 62 telephone communication linked San Francisco with the eastern cities, and
by 1869 the first railroad connected the pacific coast with the Atlantic seaboard. Today
San Francisco has a population of almost three million.
Now please look to your right. Here you'll be able to see the east section of the
Golden Gate Bridge . The bridge is more than one mile long . It was completed in 1937 at
a cost of thirty-two million dollars and is still one of the largest suspension bridges
in the world.

The state of Kansas is called the
H
Bread of America.
n
Because it ranks first in
wheat growing and flour milling that may have something to do with the fact that the
majority of people in the state are engaged in farming. In addition, there are hundreds
of cattle farms in western Kansas, some of which cover 50,000 acres. The state is larger
than most states, but rather it has a small population.
In pioneer days, many settlers passed through Kansas seeking rich land and gold
father west. Looking upon Kansas as a waste of land
n
, they refused to settle
there. However, when Kansas joined the Union in 1861 as a free state opposed to slave
labor, the population began to increase . Finally, the railroads helped to attract
settlers by selling them inexpensive land.

All the housewives who went to the supermarket and had one great ambition
：
to be
the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the
notice just inside the entrance promised. It said
：

H
Remember, once a week, one of our
customers gets free groceries. This may be your lucky day!
For several weeks, Mrs. Edwards
1
s hopes like many of her friends to be the lucky
customers. Unlike her friends
z
she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen

：

11
Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.
H

On Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car,
she found that she had forgotten to buy tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the
tea and went towards the cash desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the
supermarket approach her.

Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began,
but no one knows exactly where and how this happened. However, we do know a lot about
the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about
3,000 languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers?
English, Hindi, Urdu, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people . On the
other hand, some languages have less than one hundred speakers.
There are several important families of languages of Europe are in one large family
called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years
ago. Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of it.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the
English of 500 years ago? In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago
English was a little-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
