Passage 1
這裡要講述Andrew Jackson 和Martin Van Buren這2屆美國總統的小故事。這2個小故事也許可以解釋美語中OK一詞的來歷。故事的真實性我們不得而知，不過內容卻很有意思。
第一個解釋來源於總統Andrew Jackson的故事。Andrew Jackson幾乎沒有受到過什麼教育，事實上，他對於日常的讀寫都有困難。當收到重要檔案的時候，在嘗試閱讀之後，還是讓他的助手幫忙解釋檔案的內容。如果批准一份檔案，Andrew Jackson就在上面寫“all correct”。麻煩的是，他不知道怎麼這2個單詞怎麼拼寫，因此，實際上他在檔案上寫的是“ol korekt”。過了不久，他又把這2個單詞縮寫為“OK”。
第二個解釋來源於總統Martin Van Buren的家鄉的名字——紐約的Kinderhook。為了幫助Van Buren成為總統，他的朋友為此組織了一個社團。他們把這個社團叫做Old Kinderhook Club，社團中支援Van Buren的人都被稱為“OK”

Passage 2
儘管美國幅員遼闊，而且土地所產出的糧食遠遠超過現有人口的'需求，現今的美國卻幾乎完全是個都市化的國家。不足十分之一的人口在從事農業和林業，而剩餘的大多數人都居住在大大小小的城鎮中或者城鎮的周圍。傳統的景象在這裡不斷髮生著變化：小的城鎮之間仍然彼此十分相似，典型的小城鎮還是呈現出大家心目中的鄉村的風貌;但是大部分的美國人卻不再住在小城鎮了。現在半數的人口都在大約30幾個大都市地區(包括附近郊區的大型城市)——這種大都市地區的人口都在百萬以上，總的都市人口數量遠遠超過德國和英國，更不用說法國了。城市和鄉村的人口統計需要特別對待，因為我們所謂的住在鄉村的人們，每天都會開車前往附近的城鎮工作。當遠離城鎮居住的熱潮持續的情況下，城鎮周圍的鄉村地區逐漸蓋滿了房屋。那麼說不定什麼時候，一塊鄉村的地區就變成了城市的郊區。不過，典型的美國人還是越來越趨向於居住在大都市而不是小城鎮的環境中。
