an apai^ment?

B: VVell, ỉ used to live in a house I

hađ a nice yard and we hađ ỉots oí

(Page 84)Nelson Manđela, the first African president of South Aírica, was born

in 1918 Both his elementary and high schcx)! educalion took place at schools run by a church His íather was an assistant to an important Aírican chieí,

and as a young bôỵ, Nelson oíten

helpeđ his íather VVhUe he Hslened

to people telỉing the chief about their problems, iMandela decideđ he vvanteđ

to become a lavvyer so that he could help his people with their struggle for freeđom

Aiter high school, he stuđied for a bachelor's degree in law In 1942, he

started his political life b y joining a n

organÌ2ation calleđ the ANC "ANC"

stanđs íor Aírican National Congress

Over the next few years, he and other

members of the organÌ2atíon vvorked hard, and the ANC became a powerfuJ national movement It íought against the laws of the South Aírican government, because these laws made liíe díííicult for black peopỉe Even though most of the country's Dopulation was black, the people who ran the govemment and hađ aỉl

of the power were vvhite The ANC encourageđ people to resist the govemment in a peaceíuỉ and non- violent way

Mandela became deputy presiđent of the ANC in 1952 He vvấs now an important ỉeađer of black South Aíricans As a ỉawyer, he helped poor peopỉe stay on the land where they iived, instead of being forced to move

to areas where the govemment wanted them to live He also fought against

laws that said that black and white people could not live in the same areas

or go to the sa me schools

During the early I960s, the govemment began watchii\g Mandeỉa carefully, and he vvas soon arrested He was sentenced to life in prison in 1964 He was not released from prison until

1990 Even vvhDe he was ìn prison, he inspừed people in his own country and others all over the world

A/ter he was released, Mandela continued to try to achieve the goals

he had S€t alm ost íorty years earlier In 199i he became the íirst đemoaatically elected State Presiđent oí South Aírica

wcll as a lot of fruit and vegetables

5

You're right, Mr ƠBrien You^re

deíìnitely losing too much weight It^s

probably becá^ you haven't been

eating meat Now, even if you đon't eat

Cheese is One of the world's oldest

íoođs ĩt was made by the andent

Egyptians over 3 ^ years ago It is a

vaiuabỉe food; since ít contains fat,

vitamừis, and protein It is used both

as a íoođ itseư and in many dífferent

types of cooking.

There are hunđrcds of diííerent types

of cheese arounđ the vvorlđ, but they are almost alvvays mađe from the same thíng: milk Cheese is made from several diííerent kinds of miĩk,

m clu d in g covv, sheep, an d goat^s milk

Most cheese in the United States is made from cow's milk, Cheese a!so contaíns water A soft cheese, like Brie, contaíns more vvater than a harđ cheese, like Parmesan

Cheese is prodiiced through a process called "íermentation." The process

oí making cheese was probably điscoveređ by chance Ancient people used to make bags using the skin /rom

an animaỉ's stomach VVhen they used these skin bags to carry mílk, bacteria from the animal's skín reacted vvith the nũỉk to begin the íermentation The result is cheese

Today, cheese making is a very scientiric process First, the miik useđ

in cheese is pasteurizeđ, which means that it is heated to remove all bacteria

Then, specially cultivated bacteria, calleđ culturés/ are adđed to the milk The milk is kept fairly warm during this períod to help the cultures grow As they grovv, the bacteria cultures someíimes release bubbles of carbon díoxide These bubbles help make the hoỉes in Svviss checse

Next, as the milk ripens, it íorms a solid substance This substance is called "curd." The curđ is removed, and the water is drained from it The curd íorms the basis of the cheese and may bc treated in đifferent vvavs

Pinally, once it is matured and dried, the cheese is ready to eat
