WHY WAS SHE ANGRY?

A young man was in love with a beautiful girl. One day when they were walking in the park near the girl's house, she said to him, Tomorrow is my birthday, will you come and have dinner with me?' 'Of course, I shall,' said the young man, 'and I'll send you red roses, one rose for each year of your life.'

The same evening the young man went to a florist's. As the girl was twenty years old, he paid for twenty roses and asked the florist to send them to the girl's house the next day. He left her address and a letter full of love.
The florist knew the young man very well because he often bought flowers in his shop. The florist thought, The young man is a good customer, my price for the roses was too high, I'll send thirty roses instead of twenty.' And he did so.
In the afternoon when the young man came to see his girlfriend, she didn't want to speak to him. He was very unhappy and went back home. But he never knew why she was angry with him.

AMERICAN HOMES

Many young Americans do not live with their families, but in apartment blocks or residential areas where everyone is more or less of the same age.

Young people often move away from home when they leave school (if they can afford it) into shared apartments or small one-room 'studio' apartments. They do their own cooking and cleaning, and go to the family home perhaps for the weekend.
Young married couples may move to new suburbs where most people have young families. In the country, some even build their houses themselves.
If a family's income goes up, they often move to another suburb, where the houses are bigger, with two or even three garages, a swimming pool, a games room for the children and everything a family could want.
Old people often do not live with their grown-up children. Many live in old people's homes. Some live in special towns, built for old people, where mere are no young children and the atmosphere is quiet.
Americans are always on the move, and some families change their homes every few years. Every year, 20% of Americans move house. Mr and Mrs Schultz could start life in an apartment in New York, go on to a white painted wooden home in New England with small windows to keep out the cold in winter, and end their life in a sunny house in California where oranges grow in the garden and big windows give a wonderful view of the swimming pool and the sea.
