美国文化和历史英文作文【汇编19篇】

上海巨鹿路888号。好城市、好地段、好门牌，这么个“三好”最近不太好。

坐落于此的一幢老洋房遭到新主人的拆除，引起舆论大哗。事情并没有随着拆毁终止而宣告结束，更多的声音在讨论：为什么如此缺乏人文关怀、为什么历史建筑不能让人敬畏?

的确，一座有着近百年历史的建筑被毁，令人扼腕。可我想反问一句：如果被毁的不是洋房，而是贵州山区的一座百年老屋，还会有这么多人鸣不平吗?

以我小人之心揣度，恐怕一座乡间老屋不会引起知识精英们的义愤。同样是老建筑，洋房和农村老屋有何区别，我们为何要保护洋房呢?

晚清已降，西方文明以坚船利炮护航传入古老帝国，西风东渐，已垂百年。现代文明以西方为中心，近代开埠之通商口岸成为最早受到欧风美雨栉沐所在，租界内建起了造型不一的小洋楼，万国建筑博览馆南有申江，北有津门。

迩年，各地都在打造文化名片，曾经租界林立的城市多为晚近兴起的工商业都市，缺乏历史积淀，洋房成了对外输出城市文化的不二选择。

在我们的城市管理者、知识分子眼中，洋房有艺术美感、文化价值和城市自豪感。不可否认，租界内的生活方式超迈同时代的华界，今天国人海外疯狂抢购的冲洗马桶盖，早在70年前，租界里的上层社会已使用上了。

知识分子天然的彼岸存在感，令他们对过往和外来，无不保留着强烈依恋，概念不清的“民国范儿”不就是某些精英们念兹在兹的吗?

洋房经文化人的锦心绣口被描绘地无限美好，神圣不可侵犯。可惜，我们的精英只注重讲结果，忽略了过程，洋房是从哪来的?不论我们赋予它多少溢美，都不该忘记一个基本事实，这些都是殖民主义的产物，优雅、高贵、先进的背后是中国近代屈辱史的见证。

在我们宣介洋房、租界历史的时候，应该从源头讲起。高耸奇拔的哥特式、广远奇诡的巴洛克式背后，是一桩桩不平等条约、一次次割地赔款，完整的历史不该被碎片化理解。

诚然，很多知识精英是不大乐于这样看问题的。在他们看来，殖民带来了文明，带来了现代化。从结果看，这种结论不错，但是本末倒置。

以此类推，《赛德克·巴莱》中的高山族兄弟根本没有起义的必要。日本人为他们建起了医院、学校、邮局，让他们从山中的蒙昧人享受到现代化生活，这是在启蒙啊，为何要反抗呢?

这就涉及程序正义的问题，小洋楼的优雅不能掩盖一并带来的血腥和罪恶，文明只能自觉接受，不能强迫灌输。

看待历史要完整、客观，洋房的历史不仅有上流社会的衣香鬓影，曲水流觞，更有嗷嗷待哺的饥民，遭受无情压榨的底层劳动者。在口口声声“民国范儿”的先生们眼里，民国是黄金时代，心驰神往，无以复加。那是因为他们的眼睛只向上瞧，他们的“民国范儿”是官僚买办范儿、少爷小姐范儿、贵族名媛范儿，浑然不见饱受战火荼毒，挣扎在生死线上的平民。从完整的视角看待民国，实在太不美好。

历史建筑的价值，无外乎艺术价值和人文价值。评价一个建筑物该不该被保护，就是从这两方面入手，而不是用土与洋区分。

如果不具备以上两层价值，那么年代久远的建筑被拆除并不值得惋惜。譬如，贵州山区的一座老屋危房被拆，盖起的是新房，各方面都比原先改善，我们是该欢呼山民生活质量提高，还是哀婉历史建筑多舛?

急声呼吁保护洋房，还有一层文化不自信、不自洽的心理在骚扰着知识精英。西学东渐的结果之一是摧毁了国人的文化自信，首先我要声明这种冲击很有必要，否则我们还沉浸在不切实际的自满之中。但是，一个有着世界性影响的文明会走入绝境吗?中华文明经过冲击，不应该是浴火重生，走向新的文明吗?

这种文化不自信、不自洽在知识分子身上普遍存在，看歌剧就雅、看京剧就土;喝红酒时尚，喝白酒落伍;起英文名高端，起表字酸腐…….如此斑斑，不一而足。看看北京前几年盖起的一众新地标，这些西方建筑师在噩梦中得来的灵感试验品，过上若干年也是老洋房。如果它们被拆，我们的知识精英会不会也嚎啕大哭呢?

如果再有老建筑被拆除，我希望大家问一问它深层的艺术价值和人文价值，而不是纠结于浅层、廉价的“人文关怀”。拆了一个民国年间的日式厕所也如丧考妣一般，精英们的精神状态真是令人隐忧。

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value,the pursue of democracy and freedom,the promotion of deploitation 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.

翻开历史的尘封，时间的车轴早已行进了许久，悠久的岁月，悠久的历史，悠久的中华已存在千年，回想在千年的岁月长河里，炎黄子孙以他们无穷的智慧，共同创造了不朽的中华文明。

中华文化如同奔流不息的大河，在广阔的神州大地上，流经千年的岁月，中华文化激励着无数中华儿女以奋斗铸就辉煌。然而，如今在经济全球化的影响下，我们的传统文化却受到巨大的冲击，在网络文化泛滥的波及中，我们的传统文化却被推进了历史的长河中，中华文化命途堪忧！

清明扫墓，这是怀着对祖先的崇敬，中秋赏月；这是寄托着对亲人的思念……当圣诞的钟声敲响时，许许多多的人都沉浸在这西方的欢乐中，他们忘记了古老的中国似乎也有这样的新春祝福；当情人节在中国兴起的时候，他们似乎忘了在七夕的夜空下，牛郎和织女那千年的等待，他们忘的是悠久的中华文化。

琴棋书画，这些中华文化辉煌的见证，可是如今又有多少人了解这文化的瑰宝呢？虽然如今在校园里掀起了一场“艺术热”，学习美术和音乐的人很多，但是学美术的并非是中国画，却是西方的素描；学音乐学的并非是中国的古典乐，而是西方的流行音乐，难道他们忘了中国画的神韵之美了吗？难道他们不懂得中华文化是千百年来劳动人民智慧的结晶吗？

汉字，这是中华文化源远流长的见证，与其相伴而生的便是书法，但是随着手机、电脑的普及，我们的书写能力便慢慢地退步了，我们又有多少人能写出古人那样刚劲、潇洒的书法呢？恐怕当需要手写时，看到的只是一个个蹩脚的符号，中国汉字的那种形体之美早已消失得无影无踪了，但又有多少人在意过呢？现今写错字，提笔忘字更是常有发生，作为一个中国人，连我们自己的文字都无法书写自如，这又能怪谁呢？一切都只不过是我们自己不注意罢了。

央视曾播出《舌尖上的中国》这部纪录片，它所讲述的是中国传统的美食文化，这让我们更深地了解了中华文化，然而在西方“快餐文化”的冲击之下，人们似乎渐渐地忘了真正的美食文化，就此而言，他们忘的不仅仅是美食文化，更是包含美食文化的传统中华文化。

当西方掀起一场“汉语热”时，当“孔子学院”在世界兴起时，当中国国学走向世界时，作为华夏儿女的我们却对国学漠然视之，只觉得国学难懂、难学，便放弃学习的信念，留下的只有于丹等国学大师在那里孤独地呼唤，这是我们炎黄子孙应该做的吗？从不曾想到，许多人已经将祖先的历史忘得一干二净了，他们难道真的忘了屈子在汩罗江边深情呼唤，忘了子美在浣花溪畔忧国忧民，忘了东坡在赤壁之下豪情壮志，忘了这博大精深的中华文化了吗？

中华文化正一步一步地被我们推向历史的长河中，朋友们，都快点清醒吧！保护属于我们自己的一片文化净土，莫要让中华文化湮没于历史之中，因为中华文化正是辉煌的时刻，它所需要的是我们对其传承与弘扬。

American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes.They have great sense in their hearts to praise success and heroes.Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind.Americans have very strong senses of success.Success is 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 process and 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 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.

在位于常州城区中心的前北岸、后北岸历史文化街区，一间间苏南明清时期民居风格的房屋，黛瓦粉墙，曲巷通幽，东西不过500多米，南北不过200多米，小小的地方其传统底蕴却非常丰厚，集中了宋至明清时期的历史遗产精华，集中展示着常州文脉在中华文化中所占据的重要位置。

漫步其间，前后北岸真的可以堪称常州的一处繁华胜景，这里曾经碧波环抱，烟桥画柳，曾经龙舟竞渡，百舸争流，这里是三面环水的半岛，古称白云尖，明清以来，名士云集，灿若群星，清代全国诗坛闻名的“毗陵七子”中，就有五位出自这里，那前北岸、后北岸的名字是怎么得来的呢?

民俗专家季全保介绍：“他是由于这里面有一条河，产生了河这边和河那边，所以要解释前北岸后北岸的名字，一定要讲到一个白云渡也叫白云溪，因为只有白云溪这条河，才能取决河这边和河那边。 白云渡是宋朝时期，由常州把这条河前后开通，原来的常州城里有两条河，一条是前河，一条是后河，也就是一条是市河，我们运河入城是从西市河进城，东市河出城，到了市中心原来就是从青果巷后面的那条河走的，但是到了宋代把后河疏通后，就打通了常州的文脉，常州的文脉就是在前后北岸这个地段，叫白云溪，又叫云溪古渡。”

据相关资料记载，这里在历史最巅峰的一百多年间，全国有九名状元中就有一位状元喝着白云溪水长大的，这里出现了非常多的状元、榜眼和谈话，在这么小一个地方，怎么会出现这么多文化名人呢?

民俗专家季全保告诉记者：“文人全部集中在前岸后岸，这里是顾塘桥，顾塘桥边就是大文豪苏东坡寄居在常州的孙家，这里是吕宫府，这里是很多常州的大户人家都在这里，那么后河就是白云溪古渡的渡口，前河就是小营前东大街的主要马路，旁边就是文庙，所以在这个地盘，是所有常州最具文脉特色的地方，所以现在打造前后北岸街区，其实就是打造常州文脉的地方，所以前后北岸能够产生常州最大文气，也是为了体现常州2500年来千载读书地的最大亮点。 为什么大文豪苏东坡，生在了密山，又要终老在常州呢?原因很简单，就是这条白云溪，使他能够感觉到他的文风、文脉，他能够终老在这是很好的归宿，其实这里也就是常州的文脉所在。”

这个模型是清朝时期，整个常州城的全貌，而前后北岸当时和整个常州城也是密不可分的。季全保介绍：“运河入城，这就是我们的运河，市河，这条是运河的东市河，那么我们的前后北岸，这里前北岸就是在运河市河的南边，后北岸是在运河市河的北边，这里就组成了一个运河的白云溪，北边有白云古渡，南边有好几座桥，比如顾塘桥，八仙桥等等， 使我们的白云渡河小营前连接在了一起，所以白云渡也是我们常州市中心的一个岛，这里的风光非常漂亮，环境很好，很多文人雅士选择在这里生活做文章。”

这里有清代大学士吕宫状元府，有清代漕运总督管干贞的府邸，有清代道台府四合院和将军楼，有苏东坡终老地藤花旧馆， 这么多文人雅士住在这，也难怪这里的文化氛围如此浓厚!

说起赵翼，相信很多人都不熟悉，但是提起一首诗呢，相信很多人都知道，“江山代有才人出，各领风骚数百年”这首诗就是出自赵翼之手，那我们也都知道以赵翼的才华当时是中了状元的，可是老百姓都称他为不中状元的状元，当时也成为了一段佳话，这中间到底发生了一个怎样有趣的故事呢?

季全保介绍：“赵翼是常州出去考状元殿试的第一名，皇帝就讲了，怎么每年的殿试第一名总是你们江南人，不是杭州，就是苏州，不是苏州就是常州，乾隆皇帝一看啊呀，又是常州，那个陕西到了他手里，历来都没有出过状元，他就跟下面人说今年就把第一名变成第三名，状元就变成了探花，碰到赵翼本身对官又不是太看重，他对中举也不是看的太重，他说所有有本事的人有才华的人太多了，各领风骚数百年，你皇帝批就批吧 。常州流传一个故事，凡是状元要去考，不管是乡试，一直到殿试，凡是去考状元之前都要请大家吃蹄膀，为什么要吃蹄膀呢?大家不知道吧，金榜题名，蹄膀就是皇帝的帝，吃了蹄膀就可以高中举人、状元、进士，所以在赵翼背后，不仅把常州读书人的品格显示出来，更重要的是把我们的高风亮节展示出来，让给陕西的王杰做状元，说到这个也是我们常州的荣耀。”

现在前北岸、后北岸正在打造历史文化街区，虽然只有给这些古建筑注入新兴事物，才能重新恢复它们的生机，不过在这里我们也希望，在打造文化街区的同时能够尽可能的保留原汁原味。

只要300多公里，就可从八达岭高速转宣大高速直达山西大同，从这里，您就可以开启一段历史文化之旅了。北京人比较熟悉的，是山西的古城、大院还有恒山、五台山和云冈石窟。目前，比较常走的是绵山、平遥古城、乔家大院、王家大院三日之旅。

作为《乔家大院》外景拍摄地，这座晋商代表乔致庸的宅院越来越吸引人们的目光。世界文化遗产平遥古城也值得一去。晚上可以观赏古城夜景，第二天游览古城墙、古县衙、中国银行业的鼻祖——日升昌票号、明清街等。

The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into the imperial bureaucracy.

With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western cultures.

China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups. Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family. Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over a vast area, residing in every corner of China.

Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy, the central government has increased investment in minority areas and accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers, and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.

The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.

我国是四大文明古国之一，拥有着五千年的历史，承载着五千年的文化。在我心中，中国的文化是那样的神秘，那样的宽阔。我们从小到大，厚重的华夏文化一直萦绕在我们身边。因为有历史文化，生长在中国土地上的花儿多了一份娇艳，生长在中国土地上的人们也多了一份幸福。

当我们在读文言文的时候，我们心中倍感自豪，因为每一篇文言文都记录着诗人的理想和抱负。记得刘禹锡写的《陋室铭》吗？其中有着这样一句：“斯是陋室，唯吾德馨”。刘禹锡即使生活在简陋的屋子里，但因为有崇高的理想，从不觉得自己的居室十分简陋；记得爱国诗人文天祥吗？他曾经说过这样一句话：“人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青”，多么伟大的爱国诗人啊！即使在巨大的诱惑之下，仍改变不了他的一颗爱国之心！

我们就是这样的，一字一句地在文言文中去慢慢了解历史悠久的中国。中国文化博大精深！古代的四大发明就是文化的体现，还有那不朽的万里长城，是古代人民在没有任何机器下搭建而成的堡垒，它保护着我们中国的文化，保护着历史悠久的中国！

记得近代的文学家、思想家、革命家鲁迅吗？他是我国文学史上一颗璀璨的明珠。他试图用他如匕首般锋利的笔尖改变了国民的愚昧、麻木的思想，用他的努力为中国文化的发展埋下伏笔。他为弘扬我们中华文化做出不可磨灭的贡献。现在的人们不知怎么忘掉了自己本国的文化，而去喜欢和追求其它国家和民族的文化？而我想对这样的人们说一句“错了，你们真的错了，你们将几千年的文化抛于脑后，不去认真探解中国文化的奥秘，这样做有什么意义”。

同学们，不要再去追求他国的文化了，停下你的脚步回头看看北京的故宫吧！故宫的一砖一瓦、一沙一砾都记录着一个文化。故宫是中华民族文化的集结地，相比之下，还是常回头看看中国的文化吧！可是，生活中的文化究竟在哪里？我们不断地询问，不断地探索，不断地思考，但是，在我看来，只要你有一颗善于发现的心，你就会知道，文化就在我们身边，它在雄奇的五岳中，在历史的小路上，在语言的花丛中，在漫步的一呼一吸之中，当你真正静下心去观察的时候，你也许才会真正懂得什么叫真文化，而什么又叫假文化，最终，你才会知道执着与守护。

同学们，文化不是用说的，而是应该用实际行动去证明的，我们生活在有文化有文明的中国，是我们的幸福，我们为什么不多多的去珍惜，去发扬，反而让我们的文化形如流水从我们手中流落呢？去年，在香港等地出现了大黄鸭，游客们纷纷拍照、合影，许多人看到它的外形而去拍照喜欢，但又有多少人看到了这其中所包含的真正含义呢？

同学们，认真地发现生活的文化，认真地去探索，然后，请保护和发扬中国的悠久文化吧！

在一个阴云密布的早晨，露珠站在小院的花草上，而教学楼的喧闹，打破了这宁静的早晨。今天是去社会实践活动的日子，我们将要去历史悠久的大足石刻。同学们都兴高采烈地在教室里等待老师，然后带领同学去坐大巴车。

有着八百年的名胜古迹——大足石刻是我梦寐以求的地方，那里有着许多的石像，有些雕刻着栩栩如生的石像。经过两个半小时的路程我们终于来到大足石刻。一下车，我就迫不及待地想去看看，但前面雾太大，什么都看不清。先换上了相似古代的衣服，花色斑斓，然后就来到门口前，那里的石桌上都摆着一些东西。

我们先在门口前合了影，再去拜孔子。我学者前面的讲解员，两手相叠，向孔子鞠躬，看见桌上的毛笔、纸和书卷，就用毛笔写“人”字。接着就诵读经典弟子规，最后由老师为我们点朱砂，一个个头上都有着拇指大的朱砂印，就进入了门口。

上午我们学习了如何泡茶，而下午则是我最喜欢的事情：参观石像及博物馆。

讲解员带领我们来到景点，那里的墙壁都雕刻着许多的佛像，每个佛像都不一样：有些石像小的像水桶；有些石像大的像树木；有些石像又高又廋；有些石像又胖又矮。我觉得这些石像的雕刻人一定很有智慧，把笨重的石头变成美丽的石像，栩栩如生，每个石像都有属于自己的故事。接着又来到一座寺庙，我很好奇，走进去一看：“哇——”这尊佛像与众不同，是千手观音！每只手臂和佛像都是用金帛雕刻而成的，而每只手上都有一个法器，雕刻的这个人肯定花费了不是精力和心血，每一步都小心翼翼，绝不会有一点马虎儿。我细细端详着，看见有些地方都装修过，可能是经过这么久的时间，连再好的材料都会溃烂，不堪入目。

最后来到了博物馆，参观了一些佛像及一些珍贵画，馆中的每一件物品都是无价之宝，那些残缺的佛像，更能体现出它的古老。

今天是我最开心的一天，八百年历史的大足石刻让我感受到这里的古文明历史悠久，也让我明白在外出玩耍的时候务必文明参观，不许诋毁文物，做一个文明人。

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).

导语：自从盘古开天，人类就在大地上生生不息地一代一代繁衍下来。从此，人类的历史就有了曙光。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的写作素材，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

10年前的今天，江泽民主席庄严宣告中华人民共和国香港特别行政区正式成立。今天，我们在这里隆重举行本次演讲，庆祝香港回归祖国10周年。此时此刻，我们大家心中都充满了喜悦之情。

1842年，清政府在鸦片战争失败，与英国签订南京条约，香港被永久割让，正式成为殖民地。一百多年来，中国人民曾经为收复香港作过英勇顽强、不屈不挠的斗争。但是，由于中国的落后、封闭、贫弱，这些斗争都失败了。

现在，被侵占近两个世纪的的香港，终于以和平的方式回到了伟大祖国母亲的怀抱。香港的回归是中国人民洗雪百年国耻的大喜事，是全世界华人的大喜事，也是全世界爱好和平的人民的大喜事。是完成祖国统一大业的重要步骤。

1949年中华人民共和国的成立，开辟了中国历史的新纪元，最终结束了列强的帝国主义对中国的统治。建国后特别是党的十一届三中全会后实行的改革开放，使我国国力大增，国际地位日益提高，为香港的回归奠定了坚实的基础。

香港回归祖国10年来，同祖国内地的关系日益密切。中央政府高度关注香港的发展，全力支持香港同内地加强在各个领域的交流和合作。包括实施内地与香港更紧密经贸关系安排、开放内地地区居民个人赴香港旅游，为香港的发展注入了活力、拓宽了空间。与此同时，香港同胞的国家观念和民族观念进一步增强。在中央政府支持下，实践证明，伟大的社会主义祖国始终是香港发展的坚强后盾。

在此扬眉吐气、举国欢庆香港回归的日子里，我们更应当牢记住历史的教训刻苦顽强努力拼搏，学好文化专业知识，培养适应时代需要的各种能力，以更加昂扬向上的姿态，迎接中国历史的新曙光，跨入充满挑战和希望的新世纪。让我们衷心祝愿香港这朵祖国美丽的紫金花开放得更加绚丽多彩!

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.

Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones. Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius). These books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.

I am going to Hawaii for vacation .I am going in December ,and I am staying for three weeks.Hawaii is comprised of a chain of 132 islands.We usually think of the eight main islands when we think of Hawaii.This is not surprising as the other 124 islands only total about 3 square miles in land area.

Hawaii is home of the worlds most active volcano,the crater of Kilauea on Mauna Loa.Sandy beaches,towering volcanoes,and lush valleys lure thousands of tourists each year to this tropical paradise.

Hawaii is the most ethnically and racially diverse state of any state in the union,a mix that includes Caucasians,Americans of Japanese descent,and Polynesians,among others.Native Hawaiians have held on to many of their customs and traditions despite the influx of non-natives over the years.Hawaii is the only state that has an official native language.Statehood had been proposed many times throughout Hawaiis history,but it was not until 1959 that Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States.

从童话大王到“羊羔体”，从小沈阳到鲁迅先生，每一个事件都在如实地反应是文化在当代社会的弊端与缺陷。文化，本应该是历史的助推器，为何沦落到这种地步了？

答案是显而易见的。随着社会经济的不断发展，文化的商业性不断显现出来，大众传媒的商业性也使当代文化失去了应有的精神面貌。文化，似乎也走入了一种“潜规则”，低俗文化风靡，黑色幽默盛行，相反的，鲁迅的“归隐”郑渊洁的暗然离去，都在预示着文化的堕落与委靡。

文化的“不给力”对于社会的发展有着十分消极的影响。文化的倒退不反没有起到对历史的推动作用，反而对历史的发展起到了阻碍作用。人们对传统文化的忽视与丢失，不反使人们丧失了对传统文化先生的传统道义与美德，也是人们对现代文化产生了一种歪曲的理解，从而使现代文化“日渐消瘦”与“单薄”。也是人们产生了一种不同于主德思想的一样的精神信仰。

文化是一种对人们思想的启迪，正是由于当代文化的不断低俗化，使人们的思想也变得日渐消极。黑色幽默中展现的正是人们这种对现世的无奈以及内心的迷茫。而低俗文化的兴起更是使人们的心灵蒙上了更为灰暗的阴影。

低俗文化作为一种文化糟粕，理应得到人们的丢弃与改造，如今却成为人们热捧的焦点。小沈阳的“千娇百媚”，虽博众人一笑，但其低俗之风也渐渐靡滥。

因此，所谓当代社会的领跑者，我们应端正对待低俗文化的态度，真正做到文化的“给力”，使其实现自身在历史中的价值。

面对低俗文化，沉着冷静面对，不盲目跟风，认真对待和分辨文化的性质，坚决抵制低俗文化。面对传统文化，积极继承优秀传统文化及其内在精髓，使其真正服务于当代社会，使其迸发出活力。

文化，作为历史的助跑器，应实现自身价值，真正为当代社会与人民贡献出应有的力量。

此一类应重在“感悟”。例如刚刚结束的初三语文期中考试，作文题目是“我的经典阅读”，该题目要求同学们有一定的文学底蕴。什么是经典阅读?在读名著或是名家名篇的赏析中，掌握书中的“意象”，提取精华，是为“经典阅读”。

在这里要强调的是希望同学们在课余时间应当多读书读好书，体会名著、经典作品的魅力。避免阅读过多的网络小说，因为网络小说在描述中往往将生活理想化，过于空洞直白。

在阅读中要有足够的耐心，读书或者阅读文章力求做到“读透一篇文章，读好一本书”，深刻体会作者写作的意象，多角度把握作品，全方位联系生活。

不过我也深知同学们目前课业负担很重，很难拿出大块的时间来阅读课外书籍，我向大家推荐一个APP“喜马拉雅”。“喜马拉雅”中有很多经典的有声书籍，大家可以利用碎片时间(例如上学路上，放学的地铁里，洗澡时)听有声书籍，节约时间又能达到阅读经典著作的目的。

Its summertime, and the life is easy. For many Americans, this is the season to travel. Why? Because school is out. Because the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spot.

夏天到了，生活很惬意。对很多美国人来说，这是个旅游的季节，为什呢?因为学校放假，因为天气很好，但最重要的是，休假是我们所应该享有的权利。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的度假地点。

Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly" vacation resorts offer special programs for children.

很多美国假期非常特别，和参与此种假期的人一样特别。全家出游时通常会将孩子考虑在内，有愈来愈多“适合全家出游”的度假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。

History buffs seek out famous historical sites and museums. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations." These trips allow them to observe flora and fauna up-close without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature.

对历史有兴趣的人会找一些著名的历史据点和博物馆。有环保意识的人喜欢“环保假期”，这样的旅行使他们能近距离观察动植物，并且不会扰乱了大自然敏感的生态平衡。

Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or white-water rafting. Daring souls get the thrill of a lifetime on trekking expeditions and safaris in remote places from Afica to Asia.

有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清凉，有些人则到水边钓鱼、滑水或泛舟。胆子大的人到亚洲和非洲去探险狩猎作长途旅行，享受一辈子难得一次的刺激。

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business, mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters.

美国人不是世上唯一爱旅行的人。国际企业、大众传播与喷射机创造了一个环游世界者的世纪。

People all over the world enjoy going abroad to travel. And no matter where they live, people enjoy visiting scenic spots in their own country. But being on the go makes Americans what they are: people on the move. In America, almost everybody is a tourist sometime.

全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游，不管住在哪里，人们都喜欢去造访自己国家内风景优美的地区。不过好动的本性使美国人变成今天的模样：成为爱迁移的人。在美国，几乎每个人都有旅游的经验。
