Being Amish
9.0 __
E
Ever heard of the Amish community? It is best known for an old-fashioned way of living. Amish people ride
buggies, dress plainly and reject modern technology such as cars and phones. They fled Europe and came
to live in America more than two centuries ago. The Amish belong to the Anabaptist church, which has
around 200,000 members.
F
9.1 ___
The “father” of the Amish community, Jakob Ammann, was born in 1644 in Bern in Switzerland. At the age
of 35, he became a strict Anabaptist leader . He promoted purity and spiritual discipline, banning the trimming of beards and the wearing of fashionable clothing. Jakob Ammann was said to be a strong-willed
leader. People who followed him were soon referred to as Amish.
C
9.2 ___
In the early 18th century, many Amish immigrated to America with expectations of a better life. They longed
for the freedom in which to practice their religion and traditions, which were governed by their fundamental
rules, called the Ordnung. At first, Amish communities faced misfortune and were met by Indian raids,
droughts and crop failures, but they did not accept defeat. Eventually, they found somewhere that matched
their lifestyle and settled down in Pennsylvania.
H
9.3 ___
Even today, the Amish lead a strict and humble life which emphasizes hard labor and living by the Bible.
Family is the foundation of the Amish community, and large families, with up to ten children, are common.
When its members live, work, worship and socialize together, the Amish family becomes stronger. The man
is the breadwinner of the family, whereas the woman oversees the household.
A
9.4 ___
The Amish developed their own regional dialect, which is called Pennsylvania Dutch. It has some similarities with dialects of German, but also includes numerous English words. When conversing with non-Amish,
or doing business with outsiders, the Amish people speak English, which is taught at their schools. Out of
respect, they tend to switch to English when non-Amish people are within earshot.
G
9.5 ___
The Amish wear simple and functional garments, symbolizing their separation from the world. They believe
women need no more than four handmade dresses: one for wash, one for wear, one for dress, and one for
spare. A married woman wears a black apron, whereas a single woman wears a white one. The men wear
black suits with no outside pockets and straw or black felt hats. Their trousers are held up by suspenders
since belts are not allowed because of flashy buckles.
B
9.6 ___
When Amish teenagers reach the age of 16, they go through an important period: Rumspringa. Rumspringa
is a German term for “running around”, in which teens experience life outside the Amish community before
deciding whether or not to commit to the Amish church. If they choose not to be baptized, they gradually
drift away from the community and are shunned, meaning that they are no longer welcome. More than 9
out of 10 return to the Amish church.

The Nose Knows!

10.1 I

population in the area.
Nelson also has a springer spaniel trained to detect bat carcasses in windy coastal areas, where a great
number of new turbines have been built. 10.4 F
She has another dog, a cocker spaniel working in Africa. 10.5 G Illegal trafficking from ports on the
continent has been markedly reduced in the course of the last few years.

exercise and tasks to perform. 10.6 D Their need to expend energy must be satisfied every single day.
What makes a good sniffer dog? 10.7
Nelson has no doubt. Lex is the best.

Smart Cities
By the year 2030, 60% of the world’s population is
expected to live in cities. One out of three people
will live in cities with populations of more than
500,000. There are already 31 cities with populations
5 of more than 10 million inhabitants, and more will
soon emerge. Most of these mega-cities lie in the
southern hemisphere.

towards very big cities offers opportunities for jobs

Kansas City is another model smart city. For
instance, it collects data along its tramline system
in order to find out how many people are in the
