Пояснения к тексту

D.C. – District of Columbia

THE NATION'S CAPITAL

1. With its grand neoclassical buildings and its tree-lined avenues, Washington, D.C. strikes the visitors as a lonely and formal city.

2. Washington, one of the most beautiful and unusual cities in the United States with the area of 68 square miles, the population of about 607 ,000, the motto Justicial Omnibus (Justice for All), has one major business, and that business is government. The executive departments (Treasure, Agriculture, Education, etc.) are located in Washington. Many of the people who liv in Washington work for the federal government.

3. In the very centre of the city there rises the huge dome of the Capitol - a big white dome standing on a circle of pillars. The 535 members of the Congress meet here to discuss the nation's affairs. It's easy to get lost in this huge building, full of paintings and statues.

4. Not far from the Capitol there is the Library of Congress, the largest library in the United States. It contains more than 13 million books, more than 19 million manuscripts, including the personal papers of the US presidents.

5. When you are in Washington you can tour the White House, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the official residence of the US President. You won't be able to see the President at work in the Oval Office; White House offices, as well as living quarters, are closed to the public. However, if you visit Capitol Hill, you might be able to see some important members of the other two branches of government: The Supreme Court has a public gallery, as the Senate and the House of Representatives.

6. You will see no skyscrapers in Washington, because they would hide the city's many monuments from view. In fact, no building may be more than 40 metres tall.
