Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new restoration. Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built. Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. The renovations seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall. But now the builders restored the hall to its original appearance and it has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked more promising. 32.

MOTHER’S DAY A special day for the celebration of mothers can be traced to the times of ancient Greece when tribute was paid to Rhea, the mother of many of the Greek gods. Early Christians also paid tribute to Mary, the mother of God, during Lent. This tribute evolved into “Mothering Sunday" in England. "Mothering Sunday" is a celebration of all mothers, and is observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In 1872 the idea of Mother’s Day was suggested in America by Julia Ward Howe. In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to adopt a formal holiday to recognize mothers. A year later, nearly every state officially marked the day of celebration. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother’s Day as a national holiday, to be held on the second Sunday of May. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries throughout the world, although the celebrations do not fall on the same day in every country. Mother’s Day is celebrated in various ways, depending on the country, the family, and the mother. Many families honor mothers by dining out, giving flowers, sending cards, giving gifts, and visits.

People’s eating habits are formed by a variety of factors. Even within the same family, different children can form different habits as a result of their interactions with parents and brothers and sisters. Parents’ attitudes toward food have a strong influence on the development of children’s attitudes and create habits that will last a lifetime. If food is used as a reward, the daily behaviors lead to a dependence on food as a source of comfort. If parents tell children to clean their plates, children may eat more than they actually need-and become overweight. People who are overweight often see themselves as unattractive. Eating too much is a common reaction to frustration and anxiety. Some people eat too much when they are tired, worried or scared. Psychologists believe that the reasons for obesity (being very fat) are frequently related to emotional problems and should be looked at in that light.
