Read the text and answer the questions.
'The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a violinist and music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year-olds. When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class consisted of her children's five-year-old school friends.
Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each lesson lasts an hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week with her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons, pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time, there is a big difference between their playing and reading music. Margaret says that her method is not supposed to produce great violinists, and always suggests that pupils who perform particularly well should leave and study the violin using more traditional methods.

Before 1860 there was no quick way of getting mail between the east and the west of the United States. There were no railways at that and most mails were sent by coach. It usually at least 25 days for coaches to the coast. So in 1860 it decided that sending mail by 'Pony Express’, which was much faster. Riders very fast horses were placed along the route. They were at distances from each other and the mail was handed from one rider to the next. Riders were all to travel between twenty and thirty kilometres day on very bad roads. At each stop two minutes were for exchanging the mailbags, but riders were often held up by awful weather closed the roads. With the invention of the telegraph in 1861, the demand for Pony Express disappeared.
