第一篇：美国文化

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

第二篇：美国文化

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation(开拓, 经营) and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is individualism: self first, personal need first, pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.

American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense in their hearts to praise succeand heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Succeis the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that ones personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The proceand result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.

American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunny land, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public education, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dream of changing their social claand make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts. This is what they often called "American dream".

翻译：

美国文化的主要内容是强调个人价值,追求民主和自由,促进开拓(开拓,经营)和竞争和现实的需要和实用性。其核心是个人主义:自我第一,个人需要首先,追求个人利益和享受,强调实现个人价值self-strive和自行设计。个性与追求这种类型的有意建立定制的个人主义有其优点和缺点,它给激励人们,让他们发挥他们的潜力和智慧,因此加快整个种族和民族的发展;另一方面很难如果每个人都以自我为中心的人保持良好的关系从而使整个社会缺乏团结。

美国公民强调成就和尊重英雄。他们有很大的感觉在心里称赞succeand英雄。个人成就是其中一个最高的价值在美国人心中。美国人有很强的成功的感觉。Succeis大多数美国人的追求,这是他们吸引力的未来,前进的动力。他们认为一个人的个人价值相当于他的成就在他的职业生涯。一些成功人士在他们的职业生涯如企业家、科学家、艺术家和各类超级开始成为现代英雄。的proceand结果如何努力已经成为社会文化价值的参照系和现实生活教科书,父母教育他们的孩子。

美国社会中很有运动本身。这些运动是体现在两个方面:运动中位置和运动在社会。美国相对的开放更多的自由。发达的交通和冒险好动的传统使许多美国人从乡村流到城市,又从市中心流向郊区;从北方流到南方阳光地带,从一个城市到另一个地方。美国社会阶级不像欧洲国家并不是那么稳定。此外,公共教育的普及,使沿着社会阶梯向上流动成为可能。许多人生活在美国,无论他们是印第安人还是移民海外,有相同的梦想改变他们一生社会claand使梦想成真通过他们自己的努力。这就是他们通常被称为“美国梦”。

第三篇：美国文化

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.

Of tolerance.

The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

Americans of tolerance, in addition to the above United States is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the Americans. As everyone knows, the history of the United States in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. At that time, the United States Blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there Jiuwang resettlement. The frequent migration and continuous replacement of the Habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. Moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

As the Americans tolerant of stronger, so very few Americans to impose its will on other people, with China Confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very Guxun like. For example, a husband may be a Republican, but he must not support the Democratic Party forced his wife to change political stance. Similarly, perhaps the mother is a Catholic, but she must not have forced her into a Muslim convert son to change religion. In their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

美国文化,从某种意义上说,是欧洲文化的延伸,因为美国人的语言、人口构成和她来自欧洲的精神基础。另一方面,美国文化与欧洲,因为欧洲移民在北美大陆印第安人赶走后,在一个贫瘠的荒野地创建一个惊人的是灿烂的文明。因此,在美国谈论文化习俗和社会规范,有必要考虑相同的欧洲和美国的文化,但也注意到这两个异性。文化习俗是一个广泛的范围和复杂性的话题,人们参与社会生活,在各方面的关系。

的宽容。

美国是一个移民国家,来自世界各地的祖先。人移民到美国,不仅在位置移动,而且在他们的国家和风俗理事会的新居住地。杂,人们分歧非常明显,因为差异是非常普遍的,人们并不特别关注团结。随着时间的推移,美国人的文化习俗形成了一个更高层次的公差(公差),宽容不同文化和不同的评估,一个可接受的态度。在这一点上,美国社会可行的比世界上其他国家的习俗。

从政治角度看,这种宽容的性能追求自由和维护自由的权利。从宗教,它体现在不同信仰的和谐共存。从生活的角度,它出现在不同的社区,不同的民族生活在和平。简而言之,在美国,每个人基本上可以任意选择不同的观念、信仰、传统、习俗和生活方式,人们也可以保持相当大的程度上,他们的习俗和乐器。例如,犹太人可以庆祝他们的宗教节日,而基督教徒,他们的圣诞节和复活节。例如,美国,中国在唐人街中国生活和工作,同样,越南移民在他们的“小西贡”按越南的方式经营和从事各种活动。

美国人的宽容,除了上面的美国是一个非移民因素的国家,和经常运动的美国人。众所周知,美国历史发展的一个重要组成部分的西部地区的发展的历史。当时,美国开拓者或徒步旅行、骑马或汽车,从东到西,从南到北,哪里有机遇,Jiuwang安置。频繁的迁移和不断更换栖息地,这样人们将永远是“移动”,以及偶尔的现象所面临的不同更容易宽容和接受。此外,经常迁移还能够帮助人们扩大视野,了解更广泛的知道,不同的实践同情、理解,并逐渐形成多样性而非均匀性开放的概念。

强大的美国人宽容,所以很少有美国人将自己的意志强加于他人,与中国孔子“别人不想,不要对“Guxun像。例如,丈夫可能是个共和党人,但他必须不支持民主党迫使他的妻子改变政治立场。同样,也许妈妈是天主教徒,但她决不能强迫她进入一个穆斯林把儿子改变宗教信仰。在日常生活和习惯的业务在正常情况下,这种宽容精神是一种常见的发生,司空见惯。

每天我们都要经历很多的事情，其中。让你印象最深的事是什么?下面，是小编为你整理的印象最深的事高中英语作文，希望对你有帮助! 印象最深的事高中英语作文篇1

Life happens all kinds of things every day some things we may forgetbut there are some things you can not forget。

There is one thing I won’t forget forever. It is the birth of my little sister. Before she comes to the world I have imagined thousand times what she looks. In fact although I have guessed so many times I still couldn’t hit the point. I never know that a newborn child will be so tiny and wrinkle. But she just likes an angel.

It’s convinced that eating three meals on time is important to our health. However, I find it hard for me to have lunch on time because of some specific reasons.

Firstly, there are always so many people patronizing the dining room that it takes me more time to wait in the slender line. And as we all know, time is extravagant. But everyone likes having lunch at a universal time.

Ironically, you will also find no seat for yourself after you finally get what you are pursuing. Because occupying seats is becoming very hot. Thirdly, it’s really noisy when eating with hundreds of excited person. They are intend on sharing their new things and special feelings. So I think it’s time to make some changes. So I move slowly at lunch time. When it is going to be over, I take my lunch. And I find it decidedly right. Because I have to eat more vegetable and less meat, which contributes to my health.

So we may not compel ourselves to enjoy lunch punctually. 印象最深的事高中英语作文篇3

I owe my progress to the incident of humiliationwhich was so impressive that it will be buried in my heart forever.

时间过得真快啊，一眨眼就在美国待了一个半月了。快开学了，我们的美国之旅也该结束了。在离开它之前，我对它又重新认识了一遍，有很多感触，说出来与大家分享。

首先是美国人。

美国人很友好、礼貌，在小区里别人都会主动和你打招呼;他们看完电影、表演、比赛都会自动起身长时间鼓掌，表示对表演者的尊敬和礼貌;就算你被交警罚款的时候，交警也是很礼貌的，根本不会有“仗势欺人”的感觉;那次我们在去美国大瀑布的途中，一高兴走错了路，只好向两位正在骑单车的美国人询问，他们十分热情，很快停下车，友好地告诉我们正确的路，还告诉我们哪里可以调头、哪里可以转弯这些细节，并祝我们“have a good day”。

美国人守规则，并且十分自觉，他们自觉排队，哪怕你有事离开了，别人都会帮你留着位置。如果你不守规矩，其他人会给你投来异样的眼光。美国人对交通规则也十分遵守，有时候到了几乎死板的程度，小区有停车标志的，就算当时没人，他们也停在那看一会才走，在他们眼里，人是最重要的，就算是遇到闯红灯的行人，汽车也会主动停下来。不过不要以为你就可以随便闯红灯，要是汽车不小心把你撞死了，你还要赔偿人家汽车的损耗，如果你幸运的没事，被交警叔叔看到了也会罚你的款。

美国人讲信用，像美国的商店，交钱都是自己动手的。美国的快餐店饮料啥的也都是自己加的(可能请人很贵)，从没有人不交钱就把东西拿走，也没有人说用自己的瓶子去装快餐店的饮料，大家都很诚实。而且一旦你有不诚实的污点，以后找工作、买房子都会很困难。

美国人敬业，我们去佛罗里达州迪斯尼的时候，人家导游姐姐在船上站一天，口中不停念叨着解说词，还要努力让自己精神抖擞，让游客感觉到身临其境，但毫无怨言，既专业也敬业。要是换了我站在那里，还不得累死、烦死!

美国人很爱护环境，他们不吐痰、不乱扔垃圾，甚至做到了把垃圾捡起来、义务打扫，更难得可贵的是，美国人垃圾分类明确，可回收的、可分解的、不可回收的、生活垃圾、厨房垃圾等等，真正做到了珠海市名言——美丽由心生，垃圾不乱扔!但我没看到他们成天宣传，好像从小就有这个习惯。美国政府规定：草自己死了不要紧，你家的草要是太长了，就要被罚款，就是严重的影响了市容市貌!这确实有点令人难以理解——自己买的草长长了也有罪啊!

在美国人看来，劳动是快乐的，特别是通过自己的双手把自己的家园打造成人间仙境的时候，美国人就会欣喜若狂，真正体会到“自己动手，丰衣足食”的快乐。他们经常自己动手，种花、种树、浇水、建造阳台、割草等等。像我们邻居一家，天天拎俩花盆，到周末还全家出动，佩服!真是佩服!

美国人的家庭观念都相当强，就算是玩，也要一家人在一起!我们去迪士尼，工作人员都要首先问你多少人一起，他们安排的原则是，必须要让一个家庭坐在一起。比如：一辆过山车一排可坐3人，那我们一家四口咋办呢?以中国人的眼光看，肯定是坐满一排，再多坐一个座位，美国人则不然——一定要前排俩，后排俩，还不能是一排在最前面，一排在最后面，两排必须相邻!有时候眼看不能在一起了，排队的美国人会主动让后面的人先玩，宁可多等十分钟，也不分开。

美国人不喜欢串门(开patty、万圣节除外)!其实我觉得主要原因可能是因为美国人都住在别墅里，自己搞自家的事儿(美国人都会在自己家草坪上整点游泳池、蹦蹦床、滑滑梯之类什么的)，也没有中国过春节拜年这样的习俗，很少跟别人打交道，所以美国人也都很独立。

美国人生活质量高。大家一定要有心理准备，不要太过于激动：美国人一个星期，一般都是星期一到五工作，星期六开着部小吉普，后面拖着游艇、自行车，去游艇俱乐部玩一天，顺便骑一下山地自行车，再有钱一点的呢，就会开着一辆房车，后面冰箱厕所厨房一应俱全，带着一家人，想去哪里就去哪里，怎一个“爽”字了得?

美国人浪费十分严重。美国人浇花，都是用自动喷头，“嗒嗒嗒”就这样来回地射水，像不用钱似的;纸就更别提了，公共场所，特别是厕所里的纸大量供应，美国人洗完手都是把纸一下子拉出很多来，随便一擦，也不管手擦干了没有就把纸丢掉，估计在美国人看来，擦手只是形式;一个人，开一部老大的车，完全是浪费汽油;美国家庭，一般是中央空调，一打开，整个屋子都大放冷气，连仓库、厕所都有冷气出来;晚上房子周围开着灯，也不知道给谁看的，据说是为了让主人自己看着觉得好看，晕!真是忒浪费了，中国家庭简直无法想象!

美国人与环境和谐相处。美国的森林保护得很好，到处可见原始的森林。美国的动物那更是不怕人，松鼠敢跟你抢花生吃，鹅敢在你眼皮子底下生蛋孵蛋，美国为什么怕中国人签证来到美国后不回去，估计就是因为怕中国人把公园里的鹅、鸭、鸽子全部抓来宰了吃了……

美国的胖人很多，美国人肥胖主要是因为懒，美国吃的东西大部分都是做好的、现成的，只用在微波炉里一热就OK了，鱼连骨头都帮你扔了，就是肉，再加上美国的食品都是高热量的，你看咋办?正因为肥胖人口还在呈上升趋势，所以美国现在也开始重视运动了。

美国人付钱都是刷卡的，很少人用现金，哪怕报亭都可以刷卡，不过现在经济不景气，次贷危机啊!搞不好哪家银行倒闭了就惨了，所以现在收现金的逐渐增多，不少地方用现金还可以便宜一点(有严重地逃税嫌疑)……

说了这么多美国人的特点，我们来看看美国的特点。

美国是小孩子的天堂，这真是一点儿也不错。在美国，无论你是谁，都不能随便超校车，更不能在学校地段开快车，哪怕不是放学时间!美国还有专门规定，12岁以下的小孩子是不能被一个人留在家的，否则可以拨打911求助，警察叔叔很快就会来，还要罚父母的款。估计要是我们家住在美国，我爸我妈就要经常光顾警察局了。而且还不能体罚孩子(中国有句俗话：棍棒出孝子)，汽车上还有专门为儿童设计的安全座椅，如果不绑，也是要被罚的;他们对小孩子的教育以表扬为主，尽量发现小孩的优点，而不是老挑毛病。

美国还是残疾人的天堂。在美国，估计正常人都会羡慕残疾人，因为美国对残疾人那是相当的照顾：最好的停车位、一按便开的门、不用排队(就连家属也沾光)。我老奇怪，为什么我们国内很少看到，而美国的游乐场里那么多残疾人呢?爸爸说，其实每个国家的残疾人应该都多，只是在中国，我们的残疾人出来都不方便，所以就没出来，看起来显得少而已。当然，我觉得美国人喜欢运动，受伤变残疾的机会多可能也是其中的原因之一，但确实，大家都尽量给他们方便，让他们不那么自卑。

美国的生活费很便宜，一盒牛奶(这盒挺大，可以装好几升)才几块钱，一双名牌鞋才20块，至于袜子更是便宜，老爸一下子出手不凡，买的袜子足足装满了半旅游箱!不过美国的人工可贵了，所以除了食品以外，基本上都是从外面进口的，曾发现我一夏令营同学浑身上下从帽子到鞋子全部是“made in China”!

现在的美国人，都是用地图出行，把精确到门牌号的起点终点一输入，就会自动显示最快捷的路线，而且很少有错，虽然中国也有这样的服务，但中国道路的变数很大也很乱，所以没有美国实用。美国的停车场很大，有些还是三层的，想咋停咱就咋停，不必要为停车位不足而发愁。美国沿途的加油站也多，加油站旁边都有快餐店，那里有很多关于这个城市的介绍书，完全免费!更先进的是在机场，连登机牌都可以自己办的，真的是不来不知道，一来吓一跳!

美国的高速公路网发达，乡镇农村，四通八达!再加上美国几乎人人有车，是“生活在汽车上的国家”，所以几乎是想去哪里就去哪里，不过可惜的是美国的高速公路网虽然发达实用而不漂亮，路也不咋地，至于这么有钱的美国为啥要把高速公路修成这个鬼样子，稍后会有介绍……敬请期待!

美国无论城市或是乡村，人均居住面积都十分大，一家人就占一个大别墅，实在是有钱人的作风。美国的居住区和商业区、工业区都是分开的，这样既避免了化工厂开在家门口，也不会有人在你旁边唱卡拉OK，好处自然是显而易见。不过有利就有弊，如果晚上你肚子饿了想出去吃点夜宵，就又要开个车出去了。虽然三区分开这样的设计既不会有环境污染，也不会感觉吵闹，但是似乎麻烦了一点，没那么方便。买根黄瓜都要开部车，估计汽油钱都比这黄瓜贵，这个……实在是太奢侈了……

美国的警察效率比较高，至少同中国比起来，我是这样觉得的，那一次我们在加油站丢失了钱包，找到警察后警察很快就联系上了那里的负责人，并找到了钱包，还向我们祝贺。美国的交警也不会在道路上安装摄像头，他们习惯于“现犯现抓”，如果你违反交通规则，警车就会跟在你后面，也不鸣警笛，直到你自己“醒悟”，把车停到路边，警察才会出来跟你说话，这时候你不能出车门，因为怕你行贿，如果你强行逃跑的话，警察就会鸣笛，并奋起直追，追不到则已，追到了双倍处罚!警察下罚单的过程我们已经提到了，是很有礼貌的，所以美国的警察是很受人尊敬和信任的，一身警服带着个牛仔帽，还有点西部牛仔的感觉。

美国的税不是一般的高，而且每个地方的税率都不一样，税款也不是商家出的，是你给了商店钱以后，还要给政府税款，这招太狠了，想怎么逃税都不行!因为这就避免了商家逃税，其次商家也不会助你逃税——你叫不交税和他没关系……不过政府也很慎用纳税人的钱，这就是为什么那高速公路修得跟个省道似的(其实本来就叫“州际公路”)，无论那高速公路修得再差，反正能开就行，管他呢!而美国的市政设施也不豪华，将大多数税款用于兴建图书馆、体育设施和政府救济，就凭这一点就比只搞形象工程的中国好!

下面一个话题请大家不要在吃饭的时间看，有可能影响食欲。据我所知，美国的厕所比中国的好。首先，无论是美国的哪一个厕所，都十分干净，至少没有异味，也不至于特别脏，更不像中国，好的厕所那是好的不得了，东北山区那些厕所呢，门口就已经蚊虫到处飞，里面我就不形容描述了，据说老爸有在厕所门口被臭晕过去的记录，这是事实，证明了中国的厕所实在令人不敢恭维。我不要求每个厕所都向我们参观的展览一样——全黄金制作，也不要求每个厕所都是六星级酒店那种，只要很正常就可以了，美国的厕所应该说都达到了这种要求，有过之而无不及!

终于脱离了tolite这个话题，我们回过头来讲景点门票的事儿，美国景点的门票都很大众化、平民化，也很便宜，不像中国，基本上十，动不动上百，连个破公园都要忽悠你几块钱，世界三大瀑布之一——美国大瀑布门票是0元，加上船票也就七块五，这比什么黄果树瀑布便宜多了……并且美国的购物点都有自己的特色，是别的地儿买不到的，连华盛顿加油站卖的T-shirt都印有“我爱华盛顿”，总说明了到此一游嘛，不似中国的购物点，简直是纯粹地坑人，以高超的忽悠技术欺骗善良的游客……

说完购物点，我们讲讲超市，美国的超市就那几家，JCpenny、meijer等等，牌子虽少但是都是全国连锁，而且这些超市奇大，一间很普通的超市就可以媲美整个珠海免税商场!品牌少而分店多，地方大而东西齐，这大概就是美国的超市吧!

最后，我们来说说教育问题。十年树木，百年树人。美国重视教育，教育方式以表扬为主，哎呀，怪不得这么多老师说我英文好，原来只是为了鼓励我啊!美国的教育强调纪律性，注重步伐统一，连上厕所也不能一个人去，必须要两个人以上!据说，男孩子的上学年龄比女孩子要晚，因为学校有意锻炼男孩子的领导能力，不管方法好坏，我是不太赞同的，男女平等嘛!

讲了那么多，应该也够了吧。哎呀，突然肚子痛了起来，糟糕!只觉“诗虫”从嘴里爬了出来：

今年暑期来美国，

中西文化大不同。

明日乘机回珠海，

且将见闻藏梦中。

6.Bounded By Wellness

Send Healing To Yourself

Most people, when given an opportunity to aid someone in need, are eager to do whatever they can to be of service. Those of us who have chosen to make healing the world a vocation are grateful for any occasion to send light and love to people in our immediate spheres of influence and beyond. As we apply our passion and our principles to this altruistic endeavor, we often forget to send ourselves the same bountiful gifts of wellness, though we ourselves may be in dire need of it. We overlook ourselves, not because we forget, but because we fear that focusing on the self is an indicator of selfishness. It is moreover much more difficult to heal oneself than to heal others because the seeds of uncertainty are more easily banished when we act on anothers behalf. When we send healing light to ourselves, it is important that our intentions and our self-trust be stronger than ever to counteract doubt. As we bless ourselves in this way, we serve as both an active channel and a passive destination. This should not change the way we interact with the valuable energy we wish to receive, however. Though we may be tempted to consciously direct or influence the manner in which light impacts our lives because we know ourselves most intimately, we should not try to control its path. When we draw the white light of protection and purity to our bodies, taking it into ourselves with each inhalation, our belief in the fact that it will naturally move toward areas of dysfunction will ensure that it flows through every muscle and organ. And when we fill our spaces with this light, our environments are cleared of all the negative energy that can sap our strength and our spirit. Surrounded inside and out with healing light, we feel safe and protected, healthy, relaxed, and content just as those who regularly receive such loving gifts from us do. If you sincerely believe that there is a part of yourself that exists independently of upset and illness, the love and light you send yourself will help you connect with it. You will see the affirmative impact of this connection almost immediately when you include yourself in the recipients of your healing gifts, as lifes frustrations become more tolerable and your bliss becomes ever more palpable.

据说美国是车轮上的国家，这意味着几乎有四是在道路上行驶时，我们都知道，美国是个大熔炉的港口。它证明了那里的生活在许多方面不同于其他国家，如语言、宗教、文化和风俗习惯，有美国的节日很多，地方或不是。独立日是美国当地的一个传统节日，这是历史上的一个周年的美国独立，它是在7月4日，当战争结束，然后是美国，美国的基础的一天。

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year。 It means "holy evening，" and it comes every October 31， the evening before All Saints Day。 However， it is not really a church holiday， it is a holiday for children mainly。

Every autumn， when the vegetables are ready to eat， children pick large orange pumpkins。 Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside。 It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin！ These lights are called jack—o—lanterns， which means "Jack of the lantern"。

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween。 Some children paint their faces to look like monsters。 Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house。 Every time they come to a new house， they say，"Trick or treat！ Money or eat！" The grown—ups put treat—money or candy in their bags。

Not only children， but most grown—ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day，they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them。 This bring them the satisfaction of being young。

The weather was so nice that the weather had been deliberately given a sunny day, and xi an jis composition.

After breakfast, we set out to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Just look at the parking lot and know how many people have come today.

The terracotta warriors witnessed the process of the great qin dynasty from weak to strong and from prosperity to decay. When the qin dynasty collapsed, the terracotta warriors continued to stand in this world, the time did not change its face, the loess did not extinguish its British qi. Every clay figure is lifelike, as if there are life, the bright eyes of the eyes staring at you, as if telling you the legend of that era. It is no wonder that it is possible to unify the six countries with such a sophisticated division.

I stared at these "soldiers" and had to marvel at the magnificence of the great qin dynasty, the grandeur of a burial pit, the grandeur of the mausoleum and the palace of the qin dynasty. At this point, I noticed that the "soldier" hair decoration was different, and I knew that it was a hierarchical symbol of qin dynasty. I finally understand that the royal family life is so luxurious, it is no wonder that so many people can kowtow to the throne and sell themselves for glory. It is no wonder that the people are suffering from the insurrection of insurrection. "Overindulgence will only lead to ruin", and the great qin dynasty was destroyed by luxury because of its military power.

When I left, I looked back, and these "soldiers" still fascinated the world with their own style.

To pay respects to the remains of the ancestors

In the afternoon, we went to the xi an banpo museum. The scorching sun hit the ground hard, but couldnt stop our enthusiasm. Every channel was filled with heads, and I followed the team to see the remains of the ancestors.

In the museum, even if you listen carefully, it is not easy to find the objects that are being explained, because there are so many objects here, dazzling and dazzling, the composition of xi an ji xing.

I cant help but marvel at the amazing things that human beings created over six thousand years ago. Its "amazing" to describe them in one word. Its hard to imagine how they were struggling to learn how to grow vegetables and livestock, how to learn to make bows, javelins, fishing forks, and even learn to make spinning spins of spinning wheels. Squeezed into the crowd, through the glass, I looked at the six thousand years ago, the spinning wheel, it is like a big stone ma money, slightly damaged, there are many scratches in the center of a hole, several other surface is very smooth. It condenses the diligence and wisdom of the forebears, and the simple, rough exterior cannot conceal its inner solemnity and deep. Almost all the POTS are painted with colorful paintings, such as running deer, birds, fish, people, etc. Some of the pottery had symbols on it, and the narrator said that was the rudiment of Chinese writing. The ruins of the half-slope also unearthed a clay figurines portrait, which is rich and rustic, with a vivid expression and a strong sense of life.

After that, I saw the bones of the half-slope man. Some buried in clay POTS, some buried directly, after more than six thousand years, the best preserved, and only a bit of bone printing. There is only one thing that makes me very confused. Almost all of them are very small. Later, the explainer said that two-thirds of the people in the half-slope had died in their early years, and only a third had survived to adulthood. If so, its understandable. It is conceivable that people at that time faced how severe, harsh environment! Their lives are gone, but their endless wisdom and hard work will be passed on forever.

What Is American Dream?

什么是美国梦？

What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it simply a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?

什么是美国梦？所有的美国人都是一样的吗？它是虚构的事吗？它是为了追求更好的生活吗？美国梦随着时间是如何改变的？有些人的梦想破灭了而有些人却实现了梦想。是什么原因呢？每个人都有自己想要实现的梦想，你的梦想是什么呢？

The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

美国梦这个词最早出现在詹姆斯·亚当斯1931年写的《美国史诗》这本书中。他写道：美国梦是指渴望生活在能够让人们生活丰裕富足的热土上，每个人都有机会实现自己的价值。它是一个欧洲上流社会很难理解和体会的梦想，并且我们中的相当多人对此持怀疑和不信任的态度。这个梦想不仅仅是拥有汽车和高工资，而且还应当包括这样一种社会秩序，在这种秩序下，男人和女人不论他们出身如何，社会地位如何，都能最大程度地实现自己的潜能并为他人所认可和接受”。

In the united States Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?

在美国的《独立宣言》中，我们的创始人指出：“……所有的人人生而平等，创物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，这其中包括生命权，自由权和追求幸福的权利。”这一说法也许可能被视为美国梦的基础？

Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?

农场主为了寻找幸福离开了东部的大城市，抛弃了他们在西部未知荒野上的土地，他们是在实现自己权利吗？移民来到美国，是为了自己想要的生活，追求自由、幸福和梦想吗？二战老兵的愿望又是什么呢，安定下来，有居住的房子，汽车然后组建家庭——告诉我们这就是梦想？所有美国人都能实现美国梦吗？马丁·路德金会认为自己能够梦想成真吗？马尔科姆·X实现自己的梦想了吗？

The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.

The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the familys own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine

The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States—some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific states.

This is a good news for Chinese singers, it is said that there will be a Chinese music group and a man invited to performance in the American famous music show. It sounds so inspiring, it seems that Chinese music has been introduced into American market. While the fact is not, the invited Chinese singers only get their performance when the advertisement time comes, it is so awkward, they are given the unimportant time. Chinese music still not get into the American musical market, American people just want to catch Chinese people’s attention and go into Chinese market, so they invited the Chinese singers. I believe that our Chinese music will get be popular around the world some day.

这对于中国歌手来说是个好消息，据说中国的一个乐团和一个男歌手受到邀请去美国著名的音乐节目表演。这听起来很励志，似乎中国的音乐已经打进了美国的市场然而事实并非如此，受到邀请的歌手仅仅只在广告的时间来进行他们的表演，这是多么尴尬啊，给予他们的时间是如此的不受重视。中国的音乐仍然没有打进美国英语市场，美国人民只是想要吸引中国人的注意，打进中国的市场，因此他们邀请了中国的歌手。我相信中国的音乐总有一天会在全世界变得流行。

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%.

Old People in America

In the old days,American families were bigger. People had more children,and grandparents and great-grandparents lived with their families. But now, families are smaller, and many old people

live alone. At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer. The number of old people is always growing.

Some old people like to stay in their old homes. They do not want to move from their old homes. They do not want to move from their hometown. They are near their .friends and family. But some do not have a lot of friends. They want to meet new people. They want to live in a quiet place with other people of their age.

A large number of old people are moving to the South. It is warm there. You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating.

A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people. One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona. All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old cant live there.

很多老人正在迁往南部，那里天气暖和。冬天的时候不需要在雪中走路，也不需要交大笔取暖费。

很多老人正在迁往只允许老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亚利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太阳城。太阳城居住的所有家庭都必须有一个成员在50岁以上，18岁以下的孩子能住在那里。

Nowadays, Chinese people are everywhere, on the one hand, they like to travel and on the other hand, the population is very large. But foreigners’ impression on Chinese is not always good. The media have reported the negative incidents that were brought by Chinese tourists, and many foreigners have given their opinion and criticized the tourists’ behavior. It is true that many Chinese people haven’t realized their bad behavior, such as talking loudly in the public occasion. As we have the large population, so not every people has the chance to receive good education. What’s more, the foreign media just reported the bad side while ignoring the good side, so the foreign people always think Chinese people are rude. We admit that we are not doing well enough and we need to behave ourselves. And I believe that a wise man will make his own judgment when he communicate with Chinese.

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.

There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by table manners in Western culture.Knowing them will help you make a good impression.Having good table manners means knowing,for example,how to use knives and forks,when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table.Beside your napkin you will find a small bread roll and three glasses—one for white wine,one for the red wine,and one for water.There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table,forks on the left and knives in the right of the plate.When you see two spoons,the big one id for the suop and the samll one for the dessert.The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a litte bit bigger than the ones beside them.When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap.In Chinese you sometime get a hot,damp cloth to clean your face and face and hands,whinch,however,is nat the custom in Western countries.

Dinner start with a small dish, which is often called a starter.Sime people pray before they start eating , and other people may keep silent for a moment. Then you can say"Enjoy your meal"to each other and everybody start eating.For the starter,which you eat with the smaller pair,you keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left.After the starter you will get a bowl of soup—but only one boel of soup and never ask for a seconf serving.

The next dish is the main course.Many Westerners think the chicken breast with its tender white flesh is the best part of the bird. Some people can use their fingers when they eating chicken or other birds,but never touch beef or other meat in bones.It is polite to finish eating everthing on your plate,so dont take more food than you need.

At table ,you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot,but do not laugh all the time.

Most Westerners like soft drink if they will drive home.Many of them drink white or red wine with the food.When drinking to someones health,you raise your glasses,but the glasses should not touch. The custom of toasting in some parts of China is to finish the drink at once,but Westerners usually take only a sip.For drinking during a dinner,the best advic is never to drink too much.

Table manners change over time.They follow the fashion of the day .Beside,table manners are only important at formal dinner parties.If youre not sure what to do ,you can always follow your hosts.Although good manners always make you look good,you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family
