A Going to the USA At Heathrow across – over the Atlantic – Atlanterhavet

Patricia and Shana are 21 years old. They have been best friends since they started at university two years ago. They are going on holiday to the USA, but they are feeling a little nervous. Let us follow them across the Atlantic.

Patricia: Shana! Over here!

Shana: Hi, Tricia!

Patricia: Could you keep an eye on my luggage for a minute.

I need to go to the loo.

Shana: Sure.

At the Check-in Woman: Good morning. Tickets and passports, please.

Shana: Here you are.

Woman: How many suitcases are you checking in?

Shana: Just these two.

Woman: OK. Here are your passports and your boarding cards.

Have a nice flight!

Shana and Patricia: Thank you!

Their passports are checked at passport control. Their hand luggage is screened at a security checkpoint. Finally, they go through a metal detector. This is to check they are not carrying knives, scissors or firearms. You are not allowed to take these onto planes. They sit down at a bar and order two cappuccinos.

13

The USA

When Patricia gets back, they discover they are in the wrong terminal. They take the escalator down to the Heathrow Express.

Twenty minutes later they are ready to check in.

Crossroads 9A

Patricia arrived at Heathrow an hour ago. She does not like flying.

She needs some time to relax before the flight. Suddenly she spots Shana in the crowd.

Patricia: Mm, delicious cappuccino. I just love coffee with cinnamon!

Shana: I’m not sure. I think I prefer black coffee.

Shana and Patricia show their boarding cards and passports to a man at the gate. Shana picks up a free newspaper and then they go onto the plane. They are welcomed by a stewardess. At first the aisle is packed with people. When all the passengers are seated, the captain turns on the seatbelt sign. Then the stewardess tells them what to do in an emergency. Finally the plane takes off.

The USA

Captain: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome on board this flight to Los Angeles. Our flying time will be 9 hours and 45 minutes. We are now at 33,000 feet and our speed is 650 miles per hour. The weather forecast is good all the way across the Atlantic.

Shana: Are you all right, Tricia?

Patricia: Unexpected turbulence? That sounds bad.

Shana: Don’t worry. Turbulence isn’t dangerous.

Patricia: I wish I was as calm as you, Shana.

Immigration officer: Good morning. May I have your immigration card, please? Put your left finger here and press.

Now the right one. Thank you. What’s the purpose of your visit?

Patricia: I’m spending my summer holidays here.

Immigration officer: OK. Welcome to the United States!

The immigration officer scans Patricia’s finger to check if she is unwanted in the USA.

The USA

The flight went well. There wasn’t much turbulence.

Now Patricia and Shana are at Los Angeles airport.

serve – servere shortly – om kort tid unexpected – uventet calm – rolig purpose – formål

Crossroads 9A

We will serve you breakfast shortly. There will be a hot meal later, as well as a snack just before we land in Los Angeles. You should keep your safety belt on during the flight, just in case of unexpected turbulence. Sit back and enjoy the flight!

At the Customs Crossroads 9A 16

form – skjema exit – utgang L.A. – Los Angeles

Customs officer: Look what we’ve got here!

Shana: Oh, they’re just my allergy tablets.

Customs officer: No, I mean the apples. You can’t bring fruit, vegetables or dairy products into the USA. Shana: You can’t?

Customs officer: Didn’t you read the immigration form, Miss?

Shana: I’m sorry. I was a bit tired when I filled in the form.

Customs officer: All right. I’ll keep the apples. Have a nice day and enjoy your stay!

The USA

Patricia is waiting at the exit.

Patricia: What happened?

Shana: Just a routine check. Never mind that now. We’re here, in L.A.! This is going to be so much fun!

The United States of America is the world’s third largest country.

The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. The USA has borders with Canada in the north and Mexico in the south. The climate is arctic in the north and tropical in the south.

The west coast of the USA faces the Pacific Ocean and the east coast faces the Atlantic Ocean. It is approximately 4,000 kilometres from New York in the east to Los Angeles in the west.

There are four time zones in the USA.

The weather conditions in the USA can be extreme. There are often tornadoes in the Midwest and hurricanes along the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina caused a major flood in the city of New Orleans. Many people lost their lives and thousands became homeless.

The USA The White House in Washington D.C. has been the home of US Presidents since 1800.

There is plenty of space for visitors: the house has 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms.

The USA is a nation of immigrants. The first Europeans in America were mostly white Protestants. Gradually people from all parts of the world immigrated to America. Today the USA is a multicultural society – a true nation of nations.

Many Americans have two identities. They have strong ties to the country they or their families came from. They are known as African-Americans, Italian-Americans, Norwegian-Americans and so on.

Finally, there are the Native Americans or American Indians.

They were living in North America long before the Europeans arrived. But now they are just a small minority group.

Crossroads 9A

The USA has always been a republic. This means Americans have always had a president, never a king or queen. But one president was almost like a king: John F. Kennedy was the youngest president ever in the USA. He was also the first Catholic president of the USA. He and his wife Jacqueline were very popular. She was beautiful and elegant. Tragically, John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis died thirty years later, in 1994.

25

The USA

The Government The USA is a republic. Political power is divided between: the President the Congress the Supreme Court The President The President is the head of state. A president is elected for four years and can be re-elected for another four years. The President is also the head of one of the two political parties in the USA: the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.

The Congress The Congress is divided into the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress controls the money the President needs to carry out his or her policies. Congress also makes the laws of the USA.

The USA The Capitol houses the US Congress. It was built in the style of Ancient Greek and Roman architecture.

The Supreme Court Constitution – grunnlov valid – gyldig state matters – saker som angår enkeltstater

How should we understand the laws of a country? The Supreme Court decides what the laws in America mean. Sometimes they find that an old law is against the Constitution. Then they change the law or say it is no longer valid.

Federal and State Government The government for the whole of America is called the Federal Government. It is in Washington, D.C. State Governments are governments which decide about state matters. There is one in each of the 50 states. The chief of the State Government is the Governor.

C An Early Illustrated History of the USA

The USA

navigator – sjøfarer discover – oppdage ancestors – forfedre Native American – indianer ancient – veldig gammel settlement – bosetning in use – i bruk

The name America comes from the Italian navigator Amerigo Vespucci (1451–1512). He sailed to the New World after Christopher Columbus. You may have read that Columbus discovered America. This is not true. The people who first came to America were the ancestors of today’s Native Americans. They came from Asia more than 20,000 years ago.

Did you know that the Vikings came to America about 500 years before Columbus?

In 1960 the Norwegian archeologist Anne Stine Ingstad and her husband Helge Ingstad found an ancient Viking settlement on the island of Newfoundland. The settlement was only in use for a short period of time.

Colonial Times

In 1607 a ship full of English immigrants landed in what is Virginia today. The captain of the ship was called John Smith. You may have heard of him. He fell in love with the Indian princess Pocahontas, a story which has been turned into a Disney film.

Britain and France fought many wars in the 1600s and 1700s.

They were fighting about who should control North America.

29

settler – kolonist, nybygger land – her: gå i land religious refugee – religiøs flyktning teach – taught – lære bort corn – mais celebrate – feire harvest – innhøsting feast – feste fight – fought – kjempe

The USA

In May 1620, a ship with 102 passengers arrived at Plymouth in Massachusetts. They were religious refugees and became known as the Pilgrim Fathers. Local Indians taught them how to plant corn. In October 1621, the Pilgrims celebrated their first harvest with feasting and games. Americans still celebrate the first harvest on Thanksgiving Day and this is now a national holiday.

Just think: if more Vikings had got as far as America, maybe there would be millions of Norwegian speakers in the USA today!

Crossroads 9A

Settlers from Spain, France, Sweden, Holland and England began to arrive on the East Coast of America at the beginning of the 17th century.

altogether – til sammen gradually – gradvis independent – uavhengig tax – skatt civilian – sivilperson

The British army fought against the French and against North American Indians between 1754 and 1763. The British won.

By this time, there were 13 colonies altogether: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

A New Identity

The USA

In the eighteenth century, the colonists gradually started to feel like Americans. They wanted to create an independent country.

The British, however, wanted to keep control of North America because they made a lot of money from the colonies.

The Boston Massacre In 1770 there was a demonstration against British taxes. Five civilians were killed. After that, the colonists disliked the British even more.

The Boston Massacre, Paul Revere, ca. 1770.

Five civilians were killed.

The Boston Tea Party

31

The USA

On 16 December 1773, a group of men boarded some ships in Boston loaded with British tea. They were disguised as Mohawk Indians. More than five thousand people watched them. The men threw more than $50,000 worth of tea into the harbour water.

That is about the same as $1,102,000 today.

reduce – sette ned board – her: gå om bord loaded with – lastet med disguised as – kledd ut som throw – threw – kaste harbour – havn

Crossroads 9A

The colonists had to pay tax on tea from Britain. They drank a lot of tea! Some began to drink Dutch tea instead of British tea. So the British reduced the price of the tea they sent to the USA. The colonists felt it was still wrong to drink it. They were not British.

Why should the British force them to pay taxes to Britain?

The Declaration of Independence, 1776 (Wikipedia.org).

Crossroads 9A 32

The USA

War and Independence sign – undertegne Declaration of Independence – uavhengighetserklæringen separate – her: skille

On 4 July 1776, the colonists signed a document called the Declaration of Independence. This said that they wanted the colonies to separate from Britain.

Going West In 1804, two famous explorers, Lewis and Clark, set off to map the USA from the East to the West Coast. They and their team spent nearly two and a half years travelling and drawing maps. They also studied the geology, botany, wildlife and the American Indian tribes they saw on their expedition.

In 1848 a lucky person found gold in California and soon hundreds of thousands headed for the Pacific Coast.

Sacajawea or “Bird Woman” took part in the Lewis and Clark expedition. She was an Indian woman of the Shoshone tribe. Sacajawea gave birth to a son two months before the expedition. She carried her baby on her back and walked to the Pacific Ocean and back. Sacajawea helped Lewis and Clark to negotiate with Indian tribes. She also helped them to survive in the wild.

In 1783, the eight-year long Revolutionary War ended. In 1789, the American Constitution became a reality. It is the oldest constitution in the world.

Hundreds of thousands of people moved west in the 19th century.

journey – reise however – imidlertid agree – her: bli enige abolish – avskaffe civil war – borgerkrig put an end to – gjøre slutt på

Some businessmen then decided to build a railway across the USA. This made the journey from east to west quicker and more comfortable. There were Europeans all over the USA now. The Native Americans, however had lost much of their land.

Civil War The Northern States and the Southern States did not agree about slavery (see chapter 7). The North wanted to abolish slavery, but the South said that they needed slaves in the cotton fields. This led to the bloody American Civil War (1861–1865). After four years the North won the war and put an end to slavery in the USA.

Right: Los Angeles (L.A.) means The Angels in Spanish. L.A. was part of Mexico before California became a US State.

Los Angeles is the biggest city in California and the second largest in the USA. It is the centre of the American music and film industries. The climate is pleasant all year round and the beaches are always full of people.

“The Rockies” is a mountain range that stretches from British Columbia in Canada to New Mexico in the USA. This is a distance of nearly 5,000 kilometres. It has some of the best skiing resorts in America. People also go hiking here.

The Great Plains is an enormous area to the east of the Rocky Mountains. This used to be the homeland of the Great Plains Indian tribes. There were many buffaloes here before the Europeans came. Nowadays a lot of wheat is grown on the Great Plains.

There are deserts in several parts of the United States. The largest is the Chihuahuan Desert in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.

There are some Indian reservations in this desert.

The swamps and marshes of Florida are wetland areas.

There are up to a million American alligators here.

The Grand Canyon is 446 km long, 1.6 km deep and up to 29 km wide. Millions of tourists visit it every year. The river in the canyon is very popular with rafters.

The Inuits of Alaska traditionally live close to the sea. Fishing and hunting whale, walrus and caribou have always been part of their culture.

Wyoming is known as “The Cowboy State”. They have raised cattle here for more than a hundred years. Many people wear blue jeans, boots and Stetson hats in Wyoming.

Large areas of the south-western part of the USA used to belong to Mexico. This is one reason why there are many people of Mexican origin in southern California.

About 16 per cent of the Alaskan population are native Inuits.

Some of them still make a living in the traditional way, hunting and fishing. However, most people in Alaska now live in cities.

In the old days they used to wear clothes made of sealskin and caribou skin.

New York’s nickname is The Big Apple. It is probably the most multi-ethnic city in the whole of the USA. New York City has five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and The Bronx. The major tourist attractions are in Manhattan.

Three Manhattan Neighbourhoods Little Italy Little Italy is home to New York’s largest Italian community. The smell of delicious Italian food is everywhere – pizza, tortellini, panini – mama mía! More than five million Italians immigrated to the USA in the 1900s. Many settled in this neighbourhood.

You will find yellow cabs everywhere in New York. If you need one, just extend your arm.

Chinatown Chinatown in New York is just like a real Chinese city. There are many Chinese restaurants here. Often they have a roast duck hanging in the window.

The most famous black neighbourhood in America is Harlem.

It is famous for jazz musicians and for some great writers. In the past Harlem was a rough neighbourhood with a high crime rate.

People who lived there were relatively poor. Many did not have a job.

Who were the American cowboys and how many were there?

There were actually only 40,000 of them and they existed for one brief period, from 1867 to 1887.

To be a true cowboy you needed cows, a horse and the right kind of clothes. First, how did they get their cows? Simple. After the Civil War (see page 34) there were millions of wild cattle on the southern plains. Many were Texas Longhorn cows. The cowboys just went there and rounded them up. They did not cost anything.

Texas Longhorns are a good breed. They come in all sorts of colours. They weigh about 180 kg and their horns can be over

What kind of horses did the cowboys have? The Spaniards were the ones who brought horses from Europe to Mexico. Later they brought them up to New Mexico and to Texas in the USA. Some of them escaped and became wild horses, known as Mustangs.

This was the type of horse the cowboys captured.

What did cowboys wear? First of all they needed a hat because of the burning sun. One day in 1865, a hat maker called John Stetson made a big round hat with a brim from beaver leather.

The USA Cowboys on the prairie, a symbol of America.

At first his friends laughed at him. They thought it was a funnylooking hat. But then a cowboy asked to buy a hat like his. That was the start of the Stetson hat business.

Cowboys also wore a scarf to protect them from dust. But why did they wear those high-heeled boots? That’s because the heels stopped their feet from coming out of the stirrups. Otherwise they could have fallen off their horses and been killed.

Finally, one of the most important things a cowboy had was his lasso. It was used to catch cows. He would throw the lasso around the cow’s neck to catch it.

There is quite a lot of fighting in cowboy films. It is true that cowboys had a lasso and a six-shooter. But in real life cowboys mostly used guns to shoot snakes and to turn the cattle in a stampede.

Michael Nephew is the president of the American Indian Society of Washington, D.C. He is Seneca-Cayunga and Cherokee and grew up on a reservation in New York State.

– Michael, do you prefer the name American Indian or Native American?

Native American and Indian are both wrong, really. Anyone who was born in America is a native of America. And an Indian is really a person from India. Sometimes we use First Americans or Native Americans. I prefer American Indian, myself.

51

The USA

– Tell me, Michael, are any of the old Indian languages still in use?

Some native languages have only a few speakers. And some have already been lost. There are several reasons why many Indian languages are in danger of dying out. Indians were often taken to boarding schools. There they were treated badly and punished for speaking their language. As a result, they often did not want to teach their own children the language.

– Do most American Indians live on reservations?

About 50 per cent of American Indians live on reservations and 50 per cent live off the reservations. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. There is much more unemployment on the reservations. Many Indians move to the cities to find a better job, better education and better housing. On the other hand, food, health care and housing are also more expensive in the cities. And it is easy to lose touch with tribal culture there.

Michael Nephew lives in Washington D.C., but was raised on a reservation in the state of New York. He often goes back to visit his family.

Which states are the reservations in?

– Can speakers of different Indian languages understand each other?

The native Indian languages were often quite similar. But sometimes you needed to know where a person came from to understand him or her. The same word could have different or even opposite meanings. For example, the same word means salt in Seneca and sugar in Mohawk.

– Could you tell me something about the old Indian religions, Michael?

Many people think that Indians had many different gods, but most of the native religions only have one god. They had respect for everything the Creator made. The Europeans thought we were praying to the animals when we killed them. But we were really thanking the Creator for allowing us to kill the animal. We were also thanking the animal for allowing us to take its life so we would be able to survive.

In Indian languages words are often descriptions. For instance, the word for deer in one of the Iroquois languages says something about how the deer can see at night. The word for hawk means, “it dives at things”, and for police “they grab people”.

Some of these religions have died out, but some of them are still very active. Even if the Indians are Christians they still do all the traditional funeral things. For example, they have a ten-day feast, which is a feast they have ten days after a person dies. They also have a one-year feast.

The USA

Two Lakota guys and a guy from New York are on a hunting trip. On the first day, one Lakota guy goes out, and less than an hour later returns with a deer. The guy from New York is amazed. “How did you get your deer so fast?!” “Easy,” says the Lakota guy, “I looked for tracks, found them, followed them, and got my deer.”

The next day the second Lakota guy goes out and less than an hour later returns with a deer. The guy from New York is amazed again. “How did you get YOUR deer so fast?!” The Lakota guy says, “I looked for tracks, found them, followed them, and there was the deer.”

On the third day, the New York guy goes out. He doesn’t return, so the two Lakota guys go looking for him. They find him with clothes torn and his bones broken. “What happened to you?” they asked. “I did just what you told me to do.

I looked for tracks, found them, followed them, and the damn train ran me over.”
