"stars and stripes"-флаг США, звезды и полосы

сharacteristic-отличительная черта, особенность

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

1. The USA is a country of great differences. At the same time it has surprising similarities. The differences are partly a result of the geography. The United States are a country of great contrasts in landscape, climate and even the way of living because the nation occupies nearly half of a continent.

2. There can be found high mountains and the flattest of prairies, tropical heat and arctic cold, fertile valleys and desert areas. All sorts of products are raised, and there are industries of every kind.

3. Each region of the United States has characteristics of its own. There are large and modern cities, but a great proportion of the country consists of open land with farm-houses and small towns. In spite of this, however, and in spite of the size of the country, there are striking uniformities in the American scene.

4. The capital of the USA is the city of Washington called after the first President of the United States, General George Washington. It is like no other city of the USA. The flag of the USA, the "stars and stripes", has 50 stars on a blue background. Each of these stars represents one of the fifty states. But the city of Washington is not in any of those states.Washington is situated in the District of Columbia which is outside the jurisdiction of any state and subject only to the control of the Federal Congress.

5. Most of the well-to-do white people live outside the city and blacks who make up half the population of Washington are the main city dwellers. Washington is often called the city of the underprivileged blacks.
