49、art 2 Retelli ngTo the America n people, educati on is very importa nt. The first twelve years of public school are free of charge. As a result, about 93 perce nt of the tee nagers from fourtee n to seve ntee n years old are in high school.However, 200 years ago, education was not free. American ele

50、mentary schools were only for rich people. Most young people were not in school.The first public high school was in 1832. The purpose of the school was to prepare stude nts for college. Its most importa nt subjects were mathematics and foreig n Ian guages.Nowadays, America n educatio n is a big bus

That person may greet him in a most unfriendly way if he has just been woken from a deep sleep very early in the morning.In the coun try, a postma n may have a bicycle or a small van, s

56、o he does not have to walk so far, but n evertheless he has his problems too. It is very annoying to be compelled* to go all the way to an isolated house simply to deliver a postcard or a circular, whe n this makes the journey half an hour Ion ger. In winter, weather conditions are bad, but the post

57、man must carry on in the rain orthe snow.Sometimes it is impossible to use a van or a bicycle in these conditions, and he has to do his round*on foot, like his city colleague. Most country people keep a dog. Although there may be a notice on the gate, "BEWARE OF THE DOG ," this is of littl

58、e help to the postman- He is forced to go in, whether the dog is dan gerous or not. So every day the country postma n knows that, if the dog is not safely tied up, it may bite him on the leg or tear* the seat* out of his trousers.
