In 1919 after the end of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11th as “Armistice Day” which commemorated the end of that war. Then in 1938 Congress passed a law which made Armistice Day a federal holiday. This change came on the heels of growing movement of veteran related issues that began with WWI veterans. The Veterans Administration, a Cabinet Level department of the government, had been approved earlier in 1930. At that time Armistice Day was still celebrated on November 11th.
With the passing of World War II and the Korean War, people realized that to be fair to veterans of these and later wars, Armistice Day would either need to be changed or other holidays would need to be adopted. Thus Congress chose the simplest solution and in 1954 changed the name to Veterans Day. This step broadened the scope of the day to include not only war veterans, but all veterans, whether or not they served their country in wartime. In some states Veterans Day was designated as the fourth Monday of October.
Veterans Day is intended to honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States in all wars, particularly living veterans. It is marked by parades and church services and in many places the American flag is hung at half mast. A period of silence lasting two minutes may be held at 11am. Some schools are closed on Veterans Day, while others do not close, but choose to mark the occasion with special gatherings or other activities.
Veterans Day is officially observed on November 11. However, if it falls on a week day, many communities hold their celebrations on the weekend closest to this date. This is to enable more people to attend and participate in the events. Federal Government offices are closed on November 11. If Veterans Day falls on a Saturday, they are closed on Friday November 10. If Veterans Day falls on a Sunday, they are closed on Monday November 12. State and local governments, schools and non-governmental businesses are not required to close and may decide to remain open or closed. Public transit systems may follow a regular or holiday schedule.

C. to mark the end World War II and the Korean War D. to honor the memory of all veterans 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Veterans Day B. Armistice Day

Every year, thousands of students travel to foreign countries to study. More than 30 percent of these students go to the United States. Around 15 percent go to France, and 10 percent to both England and Germany. A little less than 10 percent go to Australia, and around 5 percent go to Canada.
No matter where a student chooses to study, there are some things universities around the world require. First, all students must graduate from high school before they can apply to a university. Most universities also require some kind of test for students to enter the university. Universities in the United States, Australia, and Canada usually require some kind of standardized exam, such as the SAT in the United States. Students who do not come from English-speaking countries also must take a test such as TOEFL in the United States and Canada to show they know enough English to study in English. England and Australia require students to take the IELTS.
In most countries, students must apply to each university they hope to go to. However, students applying to universities in England can use one form to apply to several universities at the same time.
Students can apply to six universities at one time through the British Council. This can save students a lot of time and money. For universities in other countries, students must fill out different forms for each university and pay a fee with each application.

Felice Jacka, head of the Food and Mood Centre at Deakin University in Australia, found that women whose diets were higher in vegetables, fruit, fish and whole grains, with moderate amounts of red meat, were less likely to have depression or anxiety disorders than those who ate a typical western diet of processed foods, pizza, chips, burgers, white bread and sweet drinks.
For her so-called Smiles trial, published in 2017, Jacka recruited 67 moderately to severely depressed people with unhealthy diets. Half received seven sessions with a clinical dietician while the others received “social support”, involving friendly conversation. After 12 weeks, one-third of those who had received nutritional support were improving, compared with 8% of those who had had the social support. “Scientifically speaking,” says Jacka, “it was a pretty big difference”.
The success resulted not from “clean eating” or coconut oil, but from following standard advice for a healthy, balanced diet. As an added bonus, the participants spent a little less on food than they
