游美国旧金山

全文共 555 字

+ 加入清单

前年暑假,我和妹妹、妈妈一起去美国旧金山附近游玩。我的舅舅就住在那里。

一次,舅舅开着车,带我们去海滩游玩。这里是个人少悠闲的地方,这里有很多的树木,空气格外清新,与上海截然不同。而夏日的美国旧金山更是阳光灿烂,气候宜人,我暗自庆幸躲过了上海炎热的夏季。我们沿着海岸走,这里绿树成荫,蓝蓝的海水冲刷在礁石上,十分美丽。舅舅说,这里不是我们的目的地,我们要去的“Snow Beach”,还在前面。

穿过树林,我看见了我们要去的地方。啊,真不愧为“白雪海滩”!这里的沙子不是金黄色的,而是雪白雪白的,加上碧蓝的海水,那景色漂亮极了!

有许多人在沙滩上,有的在玩沙滩球;有的在冲浪;有的在玩飞盘;还有更多的人只是躺在沙滩上享受着着日光浴。我和家人铺好了野餐垫,撑起了太阳伞,再享用美味可口的三明治和果汁。

在浅海里可以游泳和冲浪。清澈的水底有许许多多五彩缤纷的贝壳。那时正好在涨潮,我和蕾蕾向着迎面而来的海浪跳过去,与海水比赛。远远望去,就像镶着白色花边的蓝色丝绸,泳入雪白的沙滩。我喜欢用这洁白如玉的沙子,垒起沙堡,就像一座“雪宫”。玩累了,可以在沙滩上拾贝壳,或者在沙滩上睡觉。夕阳下,落日的余晖照耀在海面上,一片鲜红。我提着一桶美丽的贝壳回到了宾馆。

怎么样?沙滩美景是不是很有吸引力?是不是有飞过去体验一下的感觉啊!

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.

篇2:·美国的感恩节是几月几日?

全文共 625 字

+ 加入清单

加拿大感恩节美国感恩节时间不一样。美国的感恩节是11月最后一个周四。

感恩节的由来可以追溯到美国历史的发端,起源于马萨诸塞普利茅斯的早期移民。这些移民在英国本土时被称为清教徒,因为他们对英国教会的宗教改革不彻底感到不满,以及英王及英国教会对他们的政治镇压和宗教迫害,所以这些清教徒脱离英国教会,远走荷兰,后来决定迁居到大西洋彼岸那片荒无人烟的土地上,希望能按照自己的意愿信教自由地生活。

1620年,著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天,他们遇到了难民送来了生活必需品,还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下,移民们终于获得了丰收,在欢庆丰收的日子,按照宗教传统习俗,移民规定了感谢上帝的日子,并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助,邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

1621年11月下旬的星期四,清教徒们和马萨索德带来的90名印第安人欢聚一堂,庆祝美国历史上第一个感恩节。他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮,列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子,虔诚地向上帝表达谢意,然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会,将猎获的火鸡制成美味佳肴盛情款待印第安人。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动 。男性清教徒外出打猎、捕捉火鸡,女人们则在家里用玉米、南瓜、红薯和果子等做成美味佳肴。就这样,白人和印第安人围着篝火,边吃边聊,还载歌载舞,整个庆祝活动持续了三天 。第一个感恩节的许多庆祝方式一直流传后代 。

篇3:为啥美国小孩不怕写作文

上周五陪逃逃练钢琴,开始说好了练半小时,但练完后我觉得效果不够好。这学期活动比较多,他没时间天天练琴,其中几小节练得半生不熟的过几天回头肯定又忘得精光,于是我试图想让他再多练15分钟,几番交涉逃逃不答应,我有点急了,说“不行,今天怎么也得再练15分钟!”逃逃也很强硬:“You can’t force me, you should try to convince me!” (你不能强迫我,你得想办法说服我啊!)

不得不说,他这句话很管用,成功地转移了我的视线。我开始感兴趣他这说法从哪儿学的,难道学校开了辩论课了么?逃逃说不是,是练习writing写作的时候学到的。老师说,无论你的文章是要表达自己的观点,还是要说服别人什么,一定要想清楚、说清楚Why, 而且这个Why要让人信服,这是每次写作文时最需要解决的问题。

听起来很有点儿意思,我已经完全把练琴的事抛之脑后了,一边请逃逃在书包找他每天的学习计划本,一边问他老师究竟是怎么教写作的。

原来他们的写作分为这几个步骤,按照顺序依次是:

(1)、Prewrite – 策划要写的话题,

(2)、Draft – 先写出一份草稿,

(3)、Revise – 修改,比如改写开头和结尾,重要部分增加更多细节等等,

(4)Edit – 校对文字,语法,

(5)Publish – 完成,发布。

接着,逃逃又翻出几张皱皱巴巴的纸,说他最近在准备写一个关于”每天要玩半小时游戏“的作文,给我介绍了在Prewrite策划这个阶段的Spider Chart——蜘蛛图。蜘蛛图这个名称很好玩儿,但其实就是我们常说的思维导图,中心点蜘蛛的身子是想写作的话题,然后伸出很多脚,每一个是支持中心点的事实、理由等等。

逃逃选的话题是“小朋友每天要玩半小时游戏“,然后列了一堆支持这个观点的理由,比如可以让你开心,可以发展大脑,因为它能锻炼你的创造力和逻辑思考能力,可以让你交到更多朋友,是绝佳的放松和休息方式,可以和朋友/家人一起玩,还有益身体健康(我对这点表示质疑,他解释说30分钟不长不短刚刚好,而且如果是玩Wii一类要活动的游戏也相当于做运动了。)

特别有意思的是,他们在策划阶段准备好蜘蛛图之后,会在小组里头脑风暴一下,大家看看你这个话题怎么样,会不会感兴趣,用来支撑这个话题的理由事实足不足够,有没有信服力,如果一桌子的几位小朋友都觉得不行,那就得考虑换个话题了(我猜逃逃上面这个选题应该是全票通过的)。刚开学的这两周他们并没有完整地写作,基本就是在不断地训练头脑风暴的过程。而在这个过程中,老师最强调的是要思考Why, 为什么你想写这个话题,别人为什么会感兴趣,为什么你觉得你写的有道理。(怪不得逃逃对convincing这个词印象深刻,都能拿回来对付他老妈了。)

想想我们以前学习写作,老师也会要求我们列提纲,但往往侧重于怎么把文章写清楚,比如记叙文得写清楚起因,发展,高潮,结局,议论文的话,考虑怎么开头立论,用什么例子,最后怎么结论,主体部分怎么写,前后怎么呼应,怎么修辞等等。我们把很多的精力放在怎么把文章写得漂亮上面,放在了What和How上面,而忽略掉了Why- 写作的初衷。

这或许也造成了我们长期认为理科同学的逻辑思维比较好,而文科生都是偏感性的印象。理科生在大量的演算论证中打造的是逻辑思维的严密性,文科生花了很多时间在阅读写作,追求的更多是文字之美。以前一直深以为然,但现在觉得其实不然, 像在美国的学校,不光在数学、物理这类的学科,而是在所有学科里都会去培养思维能力。比如写作时去思考论证观点是否有足够的信服力,比如学习历史政治时思考辨析一些事件背后的原因等等 。上次我提到美国老师开家长会的时候最强调的两点是阅读和思维,想想还真是,拿写作来说,在逃逃8岁这个年龄阶段,老师对孩子思维能力的培养就明显大于文字能力的雕凿,主要表现在:

(1)、侧重点 - 告诉孩子想清楚Why,为什么写最重要,

(2)、提供思考Why的工具 – 蜘蛛图,把写的理由,支持写的事实图形化陈列,

(3)、舍得花时间 - 说是要练习写作, 两周过去了,还只是在练习Prewrite策划。

当然,我相信到了高年级,美国的老师肯定也会注重孩子文字表达上的准确优美等等。不过,从小培养固化这种深挖“为什么写”的思维习惯,不仅在写作本身,而且在学习生活的很多方面都会让孩子受益匪浅。如果说写作训练大多数都是在学校由老师负责指导,家长能影响的很少,但在其他方面,我们真可以多鼓励孩子凡事不要一下跑到细节里去,要更多想想为什么要做,为什么要这样做,把这个搞清楚了再开始动手。

PS:前几天看到一篇文章,说上海市最近举行了一场小学生征文比赛。有个命题是“我家的传家宝”。在沪600多所小学、逾万名学生的参赛作品中,“外婆留了一件补了又补的旧衣服” 在十分之一左右的学生笔下不约而同地,成了“我家的传家宝”。

这个数据让我愕然,倒不是质疑文章内容的真实性。文学是艺术的一类,源于生活但高于生活这很正常,小作者笔下的种种故事我们不必考证。让我不解的是,难道真有那么多的孩子都认为这件“补了又补的旧衣服”是他们的传家宝,最能体现他们的家族精神吗?在琢磨Why选择这个题材时,真的那么巧合还是根本没有思考?是孩子不喜欢思考,还是我们没有提供让TA思考的空间?

终于盼望已久的美国之旅,我兴奋得6点钟就离开暖和的被窝。拉着拉杆箱在家里到处跑。到了时间点,去了学校上了车就出发了。我们一帮人来到上海机场,那里真先进啊!有网络、有电脑、还有一台比平板大30倍的动感游戏机。那里人来人往,大家都拉着旅行箱匆匆的赶飞机。我们吃过午饭,就把行李给谁叔叔阿姨让他们把行李运到飞机上,在到检票口检票。

我们坐了16个小时来到美国,踏上了真正的美国之旅。我们来到学校让 home爸home妈把我们领走,我们将和他们一起生活7天。领走我们的是一个皮肤棕色的妇女。我和另外4人跟着她走了。她家不大,养了三只狗,满屋照片。她把我们带到一个房门,里面有一张大床,两张高脚小床,我爬上一个张小床,在这七天里这就是我的窝了。我感到疲惫不堪,趴到床上睡着。

我最喜欢迪斯尼迪斯尼。我跨进大门,童话般的影像浮现在我

眼前,一幢幢童话是世界里会出现的尖顶房像小学生一样两纵队,屋子里的商品玲琅满目,不过都是made in China。有一些外国女孩把自己打扮成童话里的公主,宛如仙女下凡。里面有很多大型游乐项目,队都比长龙还长,最少也要排一个小时。在我玩过的项目里最喜欢的要数激流勇进,这可是我排了两个小时的队排来的。我们坐上小船,竟然连个安全带也没有,我不禁有些害怕。船在缓缓上升,一会就到达最高点,我定睛一看前面是一条小溪,溪水缓缓流动,两岸有有个个小舞台,舞台上有小节目它们说着英语我一句也没听懂。终于到了那个大斜坡,我抓紧把手,不敢睁开眼睛。只听“哗”的一声。我觉得自己像一只小鸟凌空飞起,又像石头一样往下往下,最后掉到底了, 非常刺激。

我还喜欢那里的环球影城,我最喜欢的还是小黄人3D过山车,我排了3个小时的队,来到“过山车”前,前面有一个大屏幕,根本没有过山车,原来我们是来看3D电影的。我们系好安全带大屏幕上 格鲁 、玛戈、伊迪丝和阿格蕾丝,把我们变成了小黄人,前面出现了一个滑道,几乎垂直,就哗的一声下去了我吓得闭上眼睛,睁开眼的时候发现自己在尼瓦里奥博士的实验室里,我脚下的门突然开启,我掉了下去,原来下面正在举行宴会,很多东西浮在天上,我也在半空中,然后不知为什么房顶崩塌,我们骑着飞船躲闪着从天上掉下来的巨大石块,我赶紧用手抱住头,最后我们有惊无险地逃了出来,变回人类,小黄人之旅到此节束。

后来我又去了很多地方说也说不过来,美国之旅结束了,我依依不舍的离开了美国。

我们得低声下气的,好像是环保问题。一个不争气的事实是美国比中国有全球意识,比如美国人环保意识强,记者去美国前页这么认为,美国垃圾已经分类,到处能看到再循环招牌和在循环产品道路干净体面,是啊美国人是爽埃人人快开车,还落了个环保的好名声,美国环保组织成以台南到晚督促他们限速。他自己家里却到处是塑料袋,超市根本不限。买个笔也给个大袋子。货架上去看看,美国人塑料袋品种之多令人眼花。小到给宠物穿的鞋套,道道可以塞进一个人。塑料袋是他们生活得原始旨。

假如我在美国假如我在美国,我会跟所有的黑人小朋友做朋友,一块儿学习,一块儿玩耍。为什么要歧视他们呢?我记得我的老师说过,我们都生活在同一个地球,都是一家人,所有的人都是我们的兄弟姐妹。既然是兄弟姐妹,那不就更应该相亲相爱吗?我不光自己和他们做朋友,我还会带动我身边所有的白人和他们做朋友。《三字经》都说:“人之初,性本善”嘛,我相信友谊和爱一定能挤走他们内心的狭隘。同时,我还会告诉我身边所有的人《黑人孩子罗伯特》的故事,让他们知道黑人是多么的宽容大度,是多么的了不起。

我一直以为我才是世界上生活最不幸的人,因为爸爸妈妈的严格管束。我从来不知道世界上还有这么多生活不幸的人,落后、缺水、有战争、还有严重的种族歧视。这是我在学习了《地球家庭》这一单元所意识到的,并且深深地震撼了我。忽然,我突发奇想——假如我在美国。

假如我在美国,我一定要好好学习,为将来能够进入美国的领导层打下坚实的基础。因为我觉得只有这样,才能更直接、更有效地为消除黑人与白人之间的种族歧视作贡献,同时我还要积极倡导我的“要和平不要战争” 的理念,这样就再也不会出现像雷棣一样失去爸爸的孩子。世界和平,家家其乐融融,那该是多么美好的画面那。

美国普林斯顿大学教授丹尼尔·卡尼曼将心理学的知识引入经济学,并因此获得2002年诺贝尔经济学奖。

卡尼曼得出的结论看上去颇为荒谬,甚至违反直觉。1996年,卡尼曼做了一个最为有名的实验,他研究了682名做结肠镜检查的患者。他将病人随机分为两组,其中一组病人的结肠镜检查稍做延长,即检查结束后,先不抽出管子,而是静静地放一会儿,这时候病人会感到不舒服,但已没什么大痛。做延长检查的病人(不管开始阶段有多么痛苦)事后都反应不错,觉得下次选择还是要选结肠镜而不是钡餐和X光。而那些没有延长检查时间的病人下来后则大叫:“真像下地狱啊。”

卡尼曼由此得出结论:“我们在评价某种经验时,有一个时间长短的因素。也就是说,最后阶段的痛苦(或欣悦)程度决定了我们对整个事件的记忆与评价。这对我们预期某种决策以及每天利用这一“捷径”做出上百个决定极为有用。

篇11:有关美国的作文:呼唤同一个梦想

全文共 864 字

梦想是颗小小的种子,被埋种在我们心灵的土壤中。我们施以阳光和雨露,悉心地照料它们,并怀着满心的希冀期待它们长成一片风景。然而,有时岁月的风沙会在不知不觉中将梦想的种子掩埋得很深。终有一天,你将它记起时,才发觉自己对它的渴望原来是那样强烈……

一个人静坐在窗台边时,头顶那深邃而渺远的苍穹突然传来这样一种深沉而激昂的声音:“我有一个梦想……”我恍然发觉,那不就是美国著名的黑人运动领袖马丁·路德·金对梦想的深情呼唤吗?半个世纪以前,他所作的那篇演讲,至今还震撼着人们的心灵。他的梦想,是真正实现“人人生而平等”,不同种族的人们能摒除歧视、和谐共处。这是崇高的“美国梦”,更是伟大的“世界梦”。然而,当梦想历经时间长河漫长的冲刷后,又剩下了什么?它的实现还需要多久呢?

前些日子,在美国广播公司录制的一档脱口秀节目中,一个孩子对主持人提出的“美国欠中国的债务应如何解决”这一问题,竟作出了“杀光所有中国人”的荒谬回答。童言无忌,但主持人对这种答语作出的评价居然是“很有趣”。节目一经播出,立即引起了全球华人的满腔愤懑。大家都秉承着这样的思想:任何国家或民族的文化,都不能容忍带有种族歧视色彩的元素。许多华人在美国举行大规模示威游行,并在白宫的“请愿网站”上发贴要求白宫作出回应。前不久,白宫回应称“此节目中的‘辱华言论’并不代表全美人民的心声”。于是,此事件掀起的轩然大波终于得到了相对的平静。可我的内心却泛起了一阵波浪。

曾经,诺贝尔和平奖得主马丁·路德·金为未来平等而和谐的社会描绘了一幅美丽的蓝图。而今天的我们深知,这个梦想离我们仍然很遥远。于是,我们一同从心底发出了对这一梦想的呼唤——同时也是对每个人心中追求平等的梦想的呼唤。我们笃信,只要坚守心底的信念,永不放弃自己的追求,梦想总有一天会成为可能。

我们梦想有一天,不同肤色、不同民族的人们能够肩并肓、手牵手地站在地平线上,共同迎接朝阳的升起。他们的歌声飘向远方:“我们是世界,我们同是上帝的孩子……”那是人们对同一个梦想的呼唤,真希望那如同天籁的声音,能够永远在大地上回荡……

篇13:美国的悲剧读后感

全文共 854 字

处于底层的年轻人努力往上爬,成少败多,这样一个主题同爱情主题一样,是文学界的永恒。1925年,那个时候中国正在军阀混战,民不聊生,极度贫弱,而美国却是一派繁荣景象、一片凯歌声,正在此时,美国批判现实主义作家德莱塞的小说《美国的悲剧》一书出版,石破天惊,震动了整个美国。小说的主人公是出身贫寒的青年克莱德,他追求金钱和地位,逐渐蜕变,最终堕落成杀人犯,在23岁时被送上电椅。这是他个人的悲剧,也是“美国的悲剧”。作者在惋惜克莱德自我毁灭的同时,以锐利的锋芒揭露了美国资本主义社会的黑暗和官场政治的腐败,揭示了虚假繁荣所掩饰的深刻危机。克莱德本身并非天生是个恶人,他从追求物质享受到追求女性,玩弄女性;从渴望得到伯父的提拨到企图走进上流社会;从自私自利到走上杀人道路。造成悲剧的不光是犯罪本身,主要应该归咎于美国社会。因为当时美国社会崇尚那种接纳少数人的荒谬绝伦的价值观念,并对两性关系怀有病态的恐惧心理。冷酷的现实造就了克莱德的自私和卑鄙,社会的悲剧酿成了个人悲剧,谋杀把他的悲剧推倒了顶峰。克莱塞是美国之梦的一个受害者。从某种程度上来说《美国的悲剧》是美国梦的寓言,那些出生低微,家境贫寒的人们,无不梦想在社会上能出人头地,或一夜之间突然成为百万富翁,或痴心妄想,有朝一日能高攀上富家女,享受荣华富贵。而寓言却使他反其道而行之,将大团圆结局颠倒过来。显而易见,能园这美国梦的是绝无仅有的,大多数人只能遗憾终生,甚至丧命。正如德莱塞小说中说写:“社会活动的范围毕竟划得泾渭分明,谁要是越出一步,就注定要灭亡。”

当前中国进入改革开放年代,同当年的克莱德所在的美国有不少相似之处,代际传递的壁垒森严,“富二代”“官二代”的地位稳固,底层的年轻人往上爬的门槛很高,很难爬啊!早在1981年,中国作家路遥发表的中篇小说《人生》就描写了两个性格与命运相似的青年人所精心营造但终于破灭的人生之梦,这对我们青年不无启发和教益,而对领导干部和政治家们来说,如何为底层青年消除壁垒,提供机会,则是一个促进社会进步的重大政治课题。

On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or

large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how youll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesnt articulate her words clearly, it s an immediate turn-off. This isnt someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesnt mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint

as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.

The idea is to take the voice with which youve been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in azuoweng a meeting or addressing groups of people.

你看过名叫《格言》的一本书吗?我就看过,这里的每一篇文章都有着一个道理,而《美国图书馆里一本迟还的书》就让我明白了一个大道理。故事是这样的:在美国阿灵顿图书馆里陈列了一个小展,一本发黄的旧书,一张二十五美元的钞票和一封信。这是一个逾期归还图书馆书籍的故事。一位叫莎拉·麦吉斯的女士在道歉信中写道:“亲爱的阿灵顿郡图书馆:有件事我感到非常不安——我最近翻看这本书,发现书是你们的,不是我的。我为我的迟还道歉!”这本书借出了三十多年……

看完这篇文章,我体会到莎拉·麦吉斯女士对书的热爱;对书的尊重,也体会到了她的品行。我非常敬佩这种精神。不过有这种美德的也不是绝非麦吉斯女士一人,在我身边也有这样的人。

在我上幼儿园大班时,姨妈给我买了一本童话书。我带到了幼儿园,好朋友陈莹莹就找我借给她,我就同意了。但是,过了很久她都没还我。我问她她就说还没看完,久而久之我就给忘了。上小学以后,我们再也没有联系了。但一次偶然的机会,让我们有相见了,那时我都上三年级了。她见到我以后,从她的舞蹈包里拿出一本新书,便说:“还给你,这是我们上大班时你借我的。我当时非常喜欢这书,就说没看完,自己留下了。前几天看见你在这里练舞,就打算还给你。对不起!”我听了她的一番话,才想起来,连忙接过。“哇,好新啊!三年过去了还像新书一样。”我心里暗想。

这件事一直在我的脑袋里记忆犹新。过了好久,我才发现在书的最后一页有这样一句话:有时,可能改正以来的太晚,但努力了就好!”

为什么美国文化独特

American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically(特性)American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.

1. Rough Environment

The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of American.

2. Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of WASP MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to American and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

3. Plural religion

The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity(基督教) is the dominant religion in American and Protestant (新教)is predominate(主导)。 Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sect of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in American than in other countries.

4. Current influence:

Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes whose homes are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences(住所) every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights. There are certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenge activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.

From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.

美国人最喜欢的小食品鸡翅

From its humble beginnings and unlikely origins, the chicken wing has become one of Americas best-loved snack foods.

The chicken wing first evolved from soup stock staple to American delicacy in 1964. John E. Harmon, in his Atlas of Popular Culture of the Northeastern United States, points to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, N.Y. as the birthplace of wings. In 40- plus years, chicken wings have become a truly all-American food, showing up on dinner tables, at neighborhood bars, and in chain restaurants, pizza joints and even restaurants where the wings themselves are the focus.

Pace Foods has improved on the original formula for chicken wings with a recipe that combines the spice of Pace Picante Sauce, the sweetness of honey and the zest of fresh ginger to create Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings.

"Pace Picante Sauce isnt just for dipping,"said Chris Foley with Pace Foods. "A recipe like Hot `nHoneyed Chicken Wings, which combines sweet and spicy flavors of the Old Southwest and the Far East, shows how versatile, and yet how easy, it can be in cooking."

With this recipe, Pace Foods had taken the delicacy created in snowy Buffalo and made it the perfect summer food.

鸡翅越来越成为美国人最喜欢的小食品。1964年的时候它首先是在汤里出现的。John E. Harmon在他的美国东北部通俗文化地图集里指出鸡翅已经成为全美真正的食物,它在晚餐桌上,在邻居酒吧里,在连锁餐饮店里,在比萨店里,甚至在一些餐馆里它是主打菜。

美国 Alagnak Wild River(奔河)

Alagnak Wild River is located in the beautiful Aleutian Range. The river provides unparalleled opportunities to experience the wilderness of the Alaska Peninsula.

The Alagnak Wild River, designated as a wild river by Title VI, Section 601(25) and 603(44) of ANILCA, preserves the upper 56 miles of the river in a free-flowing condition, and protects the river and its immediate environments for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The river is managed free of impoundments and diversion, inaccessible by road, its shorelines primitive and its water unpolluted. The Alagnak is the most popular fly-in fishery in southwest Alaska, and has experienced a significant increase in use over the last several years. The Alagnak Wild River protects populations of all five species of pacific salmon, was well as significant rainbow trout, arctic char, arctic grayling, and northern pike populations. The increasing sport fishery on the river is a topic of concern to many subsistence users and other local residents.

夏天是美国人旅游的好季节

Its summertime, and the livinis 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.

Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, they settled along the East Coast. But they werent content to stay there. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later, settlers moved west to develop these new areas. As a result of this westward migration, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem unable to stay put. Research says that the average American moves every five years.

Besides their habit of changing addresses, Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commutes to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles (RVs) to camp out in comfort, while others "rough it"by sleeping in tents.

Most Americans prefer to travel within their nations borders. Why? For one thing, its cheaper than traveling abroad, and theres no language problem. But besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.

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. 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. 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 Africa to Asia.

Americans arent the only people in the world who travel. International business, mass communication and jet airplanes have created a world of globetrotters. 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 every-body is a tourist sometime.

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,为什么?因为学校放假,因为天气很好,但最重要的是,休个假是我们所应得的。美国人休假时经常会去他们最喜欢的渡假地点。

纵观整个历史,美国人一直是个迁移的民族。早期的移民者必须长途跋涉才能抵达新大陆,他们一到达就沿着东岸定居,但却不满于长居那地,冒险家和商人旅行至未知的西部地区。稍后,移民者也向西迁移去开发这些新地区。由于向西迁移,美国人最后占据了整块新大陆——从大西洋到太平洋。即使到今天,美国人似乎仍然无法在一地久居。根据研究,美国人平均每五年要搬一次家。

除了搬家的习惯以外,美国人也很习惯旅行。有些人每天上下班得做长距离的通勤,工作上甚至经常需要因公旅行。大部分的公司每年会提供年假给员工,人们通常会利用这段时间去旅行。有些人去远一点的别州拜访朋友或亲戚,有些则在周末有个经济的小假期,并住在花费不高的旅馆里。品味较昂贵的人选择豪华的渡假地点和饭店;绝佳的户外露营则吸引冒险型的人。有些人开着旅行车出游,以舒适的方式露营;有些人则睡帐篷尝试野外生活。

大部分美国人比较喜欢在国内旅游,为什么呢?其中一个原因是,国内旅游比国外旅游便宜,也没有语言不通的问题。但除此原因以外,占地极广的美国国土提供了许多能吸引游客的地点。爱好大自然的人可以到海滩、山上、峡谷、湖泊和很多大自然奇景地区游览。大城市也提供给游客们很多都市型态的娱乐。现代高速公路、铁路和飞机使得在美国旅行很容易。

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」的渡假地点为孩子提供特别的活动。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。有些人觉得海上旅游能使心情放松并感到清爽,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。

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。全世界的人都喜欢到海外旅游,不管住在那里,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。

美式食物:吃什么就成为什么样子

"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promote better eating habits. What we put in our mouths does become a part of us. But we can look at this statement another way. What we eat reflects who we are——as people and as a culture. Do you want to understand another culture? Then you ought to find out about its food. Learning about American food can give us a real taste of American culture.

What is "American food"? At first you might think the answer is easy as pie. To many people, American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and pizza. If you have a "sweet tooth,"you might even think of apple pie or chocolate chip cookies. Its true that Americans do eat those things. But are those the only kind of vittles you can find in America?

Except for Thanksgiving turkey, its hard to find a typically "American"food. The United States is a land of immigrants. So Americans eat food from many different countries. When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them. Thats why you can find almost every kind of ethnic food in America. In some cases, Americans have adopted foods from other countries as favorites. Americans love Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese egg rolls. But the American version doesnt taste quite like the original!

As with any large country, the U.S.A has several distinct regions. Each region boasts its own special style of food. Visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking. Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajun cuisine. Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes. Travel through the Midwest, "the breadbasket of the nation,"for delicious baked goods. Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats. Finish your food tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.

Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast food restaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to fried rice. Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap. Of course, one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich. If it can fit between two slices of bread, Americans probably make a sandwich out of it. Peanut butter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.

Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potato chips, candy bars, soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats. Many people eat too many of these unhealthy snacks. But others opt for more healthy eating habits. Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared with chemicals or additives.

American culture is a good illustration of the saying "you are what you eat."Americans represent a wide range of backgrounds and ways of thinking. The variety of foods enjoyed in the U.S. reflects the diversity of personal tastes. The food may be international or regional. Sometimes its fast, and sometimes its not so fast. It might be junk food, or maybe its natural food. In any case, the style is all-American.

"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯,入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分。但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话,我们所吃的反映出我们自己——不论就人或文化而言。你想了解另一种文化吗?那么你应该去认识他们的食物。认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。

何谓「美式食物」?乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言,美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人,你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西,但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗?

除了感恩节火鸡以外,挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地,所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家,当人们移居美国,他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中,美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨,墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷,但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地!

和许多大国一样,美国有数个截然不同的地区,每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调;到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理;走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜;再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品;乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃,最后到太平洋西北岸,啜饮美食家的咖啡,作为美食之旅的句点。

生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物,从炸鸡到炒饭,应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然,最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西,美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治,花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。

忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴,但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯,有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物,他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。

美国文化是「你吃什么就成为什么样子」这句话的好写照。美国人代表了范围广泛的背景和想法。在美国可享受到的各式食物正反映出个人品味的多样化。这食物可能是国际性也可能是地区性的;有时是快餐,有时也不见得;它可能是垃圾食物,也可能是天然食品。然而无论如何,它们都是美式的。
