5 general questions,
5 disjunctive questions to the content of the text LEGISLATIVE POWER IN THE USA

The whole legislative power in the USA is vested in the Congress. The time of its establishment is 1774, when twelve British colonies assembled for the first Continental Congress. It was on July4, 1776, that the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence and was renamed into the Congress of the Confederation*. The Congress then was a unicameral body with equal representation among the states in which each state had a veto over most decisions. The Congress of the Confederation had authority over foreign affairs and military matters, but not to
collect taxes, regulate interstate commerce, or enforce laws.
At present there are two chambers in the US Congress: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Besides the legislative function the Senate is entrusted with the power of ratifying or rejecting all treaties made by the President, of declaring war, constituting tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court, etc. The Senate consists of 2 members from each state, chosen for 6 years, one-third retiring or seeking re-election every two years. A Senator must be at least 30 years old and he musthave lived in the state for at least nine years. The Head of the Senate is the Vice-President who is elected for four years.
The House of Representatives is elected every other year. The number of the representatives from
each state depends on the number of people in this particular state. The Head of the House of Representatives is the Speaker. He is elected by the members. A representative must be at least 25 years old and must have lived in the USA for at least seven years. The House and the Senate are equal partners in the legislative process; however, the Constitution grants each chamber some unique powers*. The Senate is empowered to approve treaties and presidential appointments*. Revenue-raising bills must originate in the House of Representatives, which also has the sole power of impeachment, while the Senate has the sole power to try impeachment cases*.
The Congress assembles at least once every year. A new session begins on January 3 unless a different day is appointed by law. Also the Congress meets for some days on special occasions like inauguration, swearing in1 new members and organization. No Senator or Representative can, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the USA*.

life 50 years ago

life today seems to be much better than 50 years ago. it became much easier to do many basic things. for example, people don't have to wash clothes without a washing machine. there is a microwave, a vacuum cleaner, a dishwasher, an electric cooker almost in every house. modern technology has fully changed our lives to the better. fifty years ago people couldn't even imagine that household chores would be done by smart appliances. to think only, they didn't know that computers would instantly send messages, take photos, or allow making video calls. nobody had cell phones back then. on the one hand, it might have been difficult to live without these gadgets. on the other hand, children were much happier without cell phones and hand-held computers. my grandparents often tell me about their childhood and youth. they say it was a happy time and people were different. people of their generation weren't commercially-minded at all. our generation lives at the era of consumerism. we don’t value things and clothes that much. when we break or spoil something, we go to the store and easily buy a new one. my grandmother tells that she could wear the same pair of shoes for ten years and more, while i want to buy new shoes almost every season. women’s rights have also been modified. fifty years ago they were supposed to be diligent housewives. today women are seen at many high positions. they can be leading lawyers, politicians, financiers, top managers and superintendants. another modern step forward is the development of travel opportunities. it has become faster, cheaper and more convenient to travel from one country to another. it is beneficial nearly for everyone: international students, curious adults, international commerce and trade, etc.

перевод на язык

жизнь 50 лет назад

жизнь сегодня, кажется, гораздо лучше, чем 50 лет назад. стало намного легче справляться со многими элементарными вещами. например, людям не приходится стирать одежду без стиральной машины. почти в каждом доме есть микроволновая печь, пылесос, посудомоечная машина, электрическая плита. современные технологии полностью изменили нашу жизнь к лучшему. пятьдесят лет назад люди не могли даже представить себе, что делами будут заниматься «умные» устройства. подумать только, они не знали, что компьютеры смогут мгновенно отправлять сообщения, делать фотографии или позволят совершать видеозвонки. в то время ни у кого не было сотовых телефонов. с одной стороны, возможно, без этих гаджетов было трудно жить. с другой стороны, дети были гораздо счастливее без сотовых телефонов и карманных компьютеров. мои бабушка с дедушкой часто рассказывают мне о своих детских и юношеских годах. они говорят, что тогда было счастливое время и люди были другими. люди их поколения вовсе не были коммерчески настроенными. наше поколение живет в эпоху потребительства. мы особо не ценим вещи и одежду. если что-нибудь сломалось или испортилось, мы идем в магазин и легко покупаем новую вещь. моя бабушка говорит, что она носила одну пару обуви свыше десяти лет, в то время как я хочу покупать новые туфли почти каждый сезон. права женщин также были изменены. пятьдесят лет назад они должны были быть прилежными домохозяйки. сегодня женщины занимают высокие должности. они могут быть ведущими юристами, политиками, финансистами, топ-менеджерами и . еще один скачок вперед – это развитие возможностей для туризма. стало быстрее, дешевле и удобнее путешествовать из одной страны в другую. это выгодно почти для всех: для иностранных студентов, любопытствующих взрослых, международной коммерции и торговли и т.д.
