Three books may be borrowed at a time, but only two may be novels. If there are four persons in the family, they can, between them, take home twelve books. These books can be kept for fortnight, so there is no difficulty in providing the family with the all reading that is needed. If, at the end of the fortnight, you have not finished reading a book, you may renew it for another fortnight. If the book you want is out, you may ask for it to be kept for you, and if you pay the cost of a postcard, the librarian will let you know when the book has been returned and is ready for you.
Most public libraries also have a reading-room and a reference library. In the reading-room there are tables and desks at which you can sit and read the daily papers and all the other important periodicals. In the reference libraries there are encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, and numerous other books. These may not be taken away.

Stamps
In 1840, Rowland Hill's Penny Stamp Act became law. Under this law, letters were paid for by weight. Previously, they had been charged according to the distance or number of sheets. It also became compulsory to pay for postage in advance. This had not always been done before and often people had refused to pay for letters which were delivered to them. Stamps were introduced in 1840 as an easy way of checking the postage had been paid. As Britain was the first country to see stamps widely, the country's name was not written on them. However, the head of the ruling monarch appears on every stamp.

Oxford is like London: it is international, it is very old and it has great charm. It is also a town that grew up near the river Thames.
Oxford is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at its university. They come to study at one of the twenty-seven men's colleges or at one of the five women's colleges that are the university: they join the university "family" that has more than 9,000 members.
Oxford is old and historical. It has existed since 912. The university was established in 1249. The oldest of the twenty-seven men's colleges is University College.
You can see the charm of Oxford in the green fields and parks which surround the city and you can see it in the lawns and gardens which surround the colleges. You can see the chain of Oxford in the river Thames and its streams which pass near the city.

About Boxing
Boxing is an old sport, going back to the days of ancient Greece, where it was an important part of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games were held during the hottest part of the summer, and the boxers were rubbed with oil to limit perspiration. Their hands were bound with heavy leather strips often loaded with lead or iron. So fighters were frequently maimed for life. There were no rounds and no time limits - the men fought until one of them was considered defeated.

The Englishman's Garden
The English like growing flowers. It's a useful occupation because it doesn't harm anyone. In winter the most romantic thing for some people is to pick up a seed catalogue and look at the brightly coloured pictures of summer flowers. Even people with a tiny patch of ground in towns like growing plants and people who have never seriously tried to speak any foreign language carefully learn the Latin names of the flowers they plant, so that they can tell them to their friends.
If you want to please an English person, be very polite about his garden. He will probably tell you about his garden. So you listen and say: "How interesting! How clever of you!"
The English gardens are internationally famous. Some of them are very beautiful, especially the big ones that are open to the public.

Animal Theatre
The world's only theatre in which animals act was opened in Moscow in 1980. It is a childrens theatre.
There are 300 actors in the troupe. Some of them have joined it by accident. It was Plut (Pogue), the cat, who walked into the theatre tram the street. However, he proved to be a capable actor and was given place on the programme. Lorika, a tiny lemur, was found in a box of bananas. It apparently fell asleep, was packed and sent on long voyage. Several bears were brought to the theatre after the Olympic shows in Moscow, in which they played the part of living emblems of the Olympic Games.

New Year in England
The most common type of celebration is a New Year party, either a family party or one arranged by a group of young people. This usually begins at about eight o'clock and goes until the early hours of the morning. Sometimes the hosts make a big bowl of punch which consists of wine, spirits, fruit juice and water in varying proportions. There is usually a buffet supper of cold meat, pies, sandwiches, cakes and biscuits.
At midnight the radio is turned on, so that everyone can hear the chimes of Big Ben, and on the hour a toast is drunk to the New Year. Then the party goes on.
Another popular way of celebrating the New Year is to go to a New Year's dance. Most hotels and dance halls hold a special dance on New Year's Eve. The hall is decorated, there are several different bands and the atmosphere is very festive.
The most famous celebration is in London round the statue of Eros in Piccadilly Circus where crowds gather and sing to welcome the New Year. In Trafalgar Square there is also a big crowd and someone usually falls into the fountain.
