The Ivy League Ivy League / universities / Caswell Adams / football / ivy / Harvard / Princeton / funding / sports scholarships

Ivy League graduates The Ivy League is a group of eight American universities on the East Coast with extremely high standards. The Ivy League represents prestige and excellence. Some say that going to an Ivy League university guarantees success! When journalist Caswell Adams was sent to watch the Columbia vs. Pennsylvania university football game in 1937, he jokingly referred to 'watching the ivy grow.' He was obviously displeased at being sent to report on a university game! However, the word 'ivy' became quickly associated with the traditional academies of the East. The Ivy League was officially formed in 1945. The original idea was to form a football league for universities such as Harvard and Princeton. Agreements were made so that funding and standards would be the same in all universities. There would be no sports scholarships, and all students would receive the same funding. In 1954, this agreement extended to all sports. Today, rather than sports, the Ivy League has come to signify the social and academic prestige that is associated with some of America's oldest universities.

Video and Questions [1 exercises] Ever since the day when Icarus and his father Dedalus made their wings of wax, man has dreamed of flying. He can swim like a fish, he can run like a cheetah, but without a machine, he cannot fly like a bird. Admittedly he can throw himself into the void, but free falling isn't the same thing as floating in the wind. Without wings, man finds himself deprived of one of the greatest sensations. Flying over mountains and following the thermal currents is indeed only possible in a hang-glider, and it's only in his dreams that man can be an eagle. Some people like to play at being human cannonballs because this number always impresses the crowd. The explosion must have made this man deaf: he can't hear the applause or the people warning him that his net has holes in it! With the invention of the airship at the beginning of the twentieth century, man was able to fly over cities and even overseas. Go left! Right! Straight on! No, turn around! Be careful you don't get airsick! Today, airplanes have reached such perfection that they can take people more or less anywhere, and more or less whenever they want, so long as there's a runway to land on. The number of airports is growing and these days every major city has one. Even in Hong Kong, where space is very limited, there's an airport. The runway is so narrow the pilots must really feel like they're landing on a matchstick! The helicopter is another means of air transportation. It is said that Leonardo da Vinci drew up the first plans for the rotary mechanism. This would perhaps explain the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile: she must have thought the man painting her portrait was a madman! Flying machines! What a thought! But he who laughs last, laughs best. Da Vinci was right. Thanks to its blades, the helicopter can take off and land vertically. This vehicle is often used in emergencies. Jet planes are the fastest. They can fly so fast they can break the sound barrier. What a deafening noise! Don't bother looking up, it's already far away! A jet's like a sprinter who leaves his shadow behind when pulling away! For more peaceful traveling, with your head in the clouds, there are hot-air balloons. Filled with heated air, they get carried along by the winds. They rise serenely up into the sky and their passengers can admire the landscape that unfolds at their feet. You can also make flying objects at home. For most children, the paper plane is their first contact with aerodynamics. Man has been trying to defy gravity for a long time, and today he has found ways of taking advantage of it. Bungee jumping is an amazing sport with extreme sensations. Is this man the right way up or upside down? It doesn't look like he knows what his exact position is. Maybe he thinks he's turned into a human yo-yo!

Native American Foods Native Americans / farmed / mainstay / tribes / corn on the cob / popcorn / cocoa beans / Aztecs / Mayas / chocolate

Cocoa beans Native Americans first farmed some of the planet's most popular foods thousands of years ago. Two of the most popular Native American foods are corn and potatoes. Early inhabitants of Peru grew white potatoes from which we now make French fries. Corn, the mainstay of most early tribes, was grown in Mexico as early as 5000 B.C.! They used it to make corn cakes, now called tortillas. Nowadays, corn on the cob is an all-time American favorite and popcorn, invented by Mexican Natives, is a modern-day movie-going tradition! Native Americans were also the first to farm tomatoes, squash, pumpkins, beans, tapioca, maple syrup and most importantly, cocoa beans. Just imagine how sad life would be if the Aztecs and Mayas hadn't created the world's most favorite treat, chocolate! Remember, the next time you sit down to eat, that it might be Native American food on your plate!

The Three Sisters The Three Sisters / corn / beans / squash / Native American / Iroquois / companion planting / seed / stalk / Three Sister Spirits

Ears of corn The Three Sisters, corn, beans and squash, are an important part of Native American culture. The Three Sisters were first planted together by the Iroquois in 1200 A.D. They created a method of companion planting, digging a hole and putting a seed from each of the three plants into it. This created a beneficial relationship between the plants. As it grew, the bean plant climbed up the corn stalk. The beans took nitrogen from the air and put it into the ground to help the corn and squash grow. The squash, which lay on the ground, collected moisture for the other two plants and helped prevent weeds from growing. The Three Sisters also have spiritual significance. They are considered to be special gifts from the Creator. According to legend, they are protected by the Three Sister Spirits and can never be separated. The Three Sisters continue to be planted, celebrated and eaten together even today.
