写一篇关于美国的作文经典20篇

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。

上星期郭校长去美国学习了。喏，这不是正在给我们讲美国的事吗？

看了美国的一些资料和图片，我知道了美国是一个非常干净清洁的国家，地上只有掉下来的树叶，却没有烂纸、塑料袋什么的；美国人很爱护动物，布莱恩校长的家很大，经常有小动物在布莱恩校长家旁的高尔夫球场里来回跑动，像鹿、松鼠什么的。

美国的教育很好，学校一个班绝不会超过二十人，教室设计也很有条理，而最让我们羡慕的是课堂气氛相当活跃。

这节课让我学到了很多，我们应该向美国人学习，不吃垃圾食品；爱护环境卫生，在马路上看到垃圾要捡起来，扔进垃圾箱里；保护动物朋友；多植树和草坪；不要在公共场所或者自己家中大喊大叫。

我们要保持更好的环境卫生，向美国看齐。我们要多多了解美国，尽力而为地超过美国！ 关于我眼中的美国作文篇二

据2012年11月3日，外国专家对世界军事实力对照表公布：中国的陆军第一，海军第八，空军第四，综合实力第二。

当然，我不会仅仅就谈一下“数字”游戏，我想谈的是这些数字它带来了什么？

说到实力，就不得不提美国。它当之无愧为当今世界霸主。在外共有328个军事基地。分布在120多个国家，一个历史仅有200多年的民族，大熔炉炼出了经济、军事第一的大国。难道不值得关注一下“蚂蚁如何成为大象的吗？”

当独立宣言还未出世，那片太平洋两岸的英国殖民地还不为世界关注。当华盛顿将“美利坚合众国”撑起时，并没有所谓的经济，但却拥有了能一搏云天的独立。当一战还未来临，美国也许正愁于如何加大军火交易。当二战烧红了世界的半边天空，若不是某一天的珍珠港完胜遇上某一天太平洋战役的惨败，又有谁会“敬畏”这个年轻的国家。当两朵蘑菇种在长崎和广岛时，是否已有死党尾随其后，甘愿充当他人的军事基地，当苏联解体，是否标志着美国已然登上了世界霸主！

中国有句俗话“守江山比打江山更难”所以为什么美国那么担心他国追上它。甚至超越他，从五角大楼中历届总统中，无不透露“全球战略”“强权政策”以及霸权主义。他与众多国家都为军事同盟。推心置腹有真正有几个？一边防范着日本崛起，一边操纵日本牵制中国，养狗又防狗，这就为什么30%的军事基地都在日本的原因了。美国依仗着11艘核动力航母能出现在众国家的周围，从而强化自己的宝座。当经济危机来扰，多少国家是由于美国从而走向低迷，美国在用智慧去强化自己，用武力去征服他人，这就是数字带来的意义。

作为中国的人民，以我之见，众多国家对美国多数对它采取“捧”的政策，而中国在走他人未曾走过的路，试他人未曾想过的事。在面对美日同盟时，不慌不忙，沉着应对，在面对日本的外交辞令时，听其言观其行，不由让我心生赞叹，多少次战争是因为小瞧对手以至于灭顶之灾。这就是我还想讲的“道义”。

当面对强势挑衅，虽有实力抵之一时，也不能永久铲除根源。假手中有那一张“道义”牌，是否能将本属于自己的东西要回来而谋取一个发展的区间，或拥有得“道相同”兄弟的支持都将成为一个重大的转折点。

若既无实力，也无道义，那本是蚂蚁，终生是蚂蚁。

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".

这是我来美国的第三个星期天了，我渐渐发现这里的人和我们国内的人存在着很大的区别，他们都很有礼貌，很讲究谦让。

有一次，我和妈妈一起去公园玩，去公园要穿过一条马路。当我们到路口时，一辆车开过来了，我们本能地停了下来，没想到那辆车也停下来了，而且看到那个开车的外国人用手比划着，让我们我过去。于是我听妈妈说“thank you”就我们先过去了，等我们过了马路继而那辆车才开走了，但那里没有红绿灯啊?我问妈妈：“外国人是不是都那样的?”妈妈笑笑说：“是的，美国人都很讲礼貌的。而且政府也规定车辆要先礼让行人的。”而且我还发现，这里很多路口是没有红绿灯的，但车辆到了路口就会自动停下来，即使当时路口没有行人，车辆也会按规定停3秒钟。我心想，如果都能做到那样，那新闻里听到那些有关路口行人被车撞的事件就可以避免了。

而且，在美国，对行车方面要求可多了，比如，8岁以下坐车必须配安全座椅，婴儿必须躺在提篮一样的安全座椅内。上车必须系好安全带，不管是驾驶员还是乘客，哪怕是最后一排的乘客都必须系安全带。那是为了保证驾驶员和乘客的要求，美国人对生命的保护是要求很严格的，一旦违反，驾驶员会被处罚得很重，据说是一次要1000多美金哦。我在那儿呆了一个半月，现在一上车系安全带的速度可快了!

还有一次，我在上课时，一位美国老师不小心撞到了我，她赶紧说“I——m sorry”，我开始感到莫名其妙的，因为我根本没注意到老师撞到了我，我根本没受到什么伤害。这里的老师和小朋友们都挺亲切的，都能和朋友一样相处，我觉得挺好的。

还有，美国人经常会说“谢谢你”“对不起”这些礼貌用语，有时就觉得是“顺口溜”似的，听了心里感觉暖暖的。

我很喜欢们的礼貌和谦让，如果人人都能做到那样，是不是可以减少好多误会呢?

美国大选给国际黄金价格带来哪些影响呢?以下是小编带来的相关内容，希望对你有帮助。

进入11月，市场的目光聚焦在了美国大选投票日,经历数月的拉锯战，美国总统大选终于尘埃落定，共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普拿下关键“战场州”宾夕法尼亚州，最终赢得美国总统大选。值得一提的是，共和党已控制国会参众两院。

随着两位候选人选情胶着，全球金融市场动荡加剧，纳斯达克指数期货触及熔断，标普500指数期货触及熔断，日经225指数跌幅扩大至5.5%，澳元/日元日内跌幅创2010年来最大单日跌幅。然而，与股市形成鲜明对比，纽约黄金期货却在一路飙涨，刷新近6周新高，最终报1337.2美元/盎司，涨幅4.93%。

与此同时，伴随着特朗普的当选，全球市场风险骤增使得黄金等避险资产受宠。此前，也有许多国际黄金专业机构与专业人士看来，黄金目前的震荡走势只是暂时的，不论谁当总统，黄金中长期的走势都将值得期待。对此，网易贵金属首席分析师高思远认为，短期来看，金银价格会因为美国大选结果不同产生剧烈波动。

高思远表示，美国大选剧情跌宕起伏，特朗普当选总统，其政策的不确定性或将成为市场的最大“隐患”，这也触发资产避险情绪有望再次爆发，这样一来，金银价格短期上涨的可能性极大。不过，相较于大选期间的动荡走势，市场专业人士对大选后的黄金走势持乐观态度。

汇丰银行策略分析师詹姆斯·斯蒂尔(James Steel)认为，黄金的上涨因素来自于低利率以及实物金需求的回升。“若唐纳德·特朗普当选，黄金则涨势更劲，”斯蒂尔称。在他看来，特朗普的当选是黄金牛市的决定性因素。黄金价格可能以相对较快的速度在2016年底上涨至1500美元/盎司。

伴随着美国大选尘埃落定，接下来关注的焦点是美联储的加息，由于11月4日公布的非农数据表现不及预期，但仍然没有降低美联储12月加息的预期，美联储洛克哈特甚至透露出12月加息近乎“板上钉钉”。然而，网易贵金属首席分析师高思远表示，目前对美国加息的担忧类似于 2015 年四季度。

对此，中大期货分析师赵晓君表示，从短期来看，特朗普所代表的民粹主义继英国退欧公投后再度获胜，市场不确定性再度放大，避险情绪攀升，同时也影响了市场预期强烈的12月加息决议。综上所述，美联储加息周期仍在继续的前提下，黄金短期继续避险推动回升，中期仍然处于较大的宽幅震荡趋势，总体价格重心处于上升趋势。

这几天，美国给我发了邀请函，让我去美国参加钢琴比赛。听了这个消息，我十分激动，也非常兴奋。因为只有在全国拿到一等奖的才有可能收到邀请函，但还不知道爸爸妈妈让不让我去呢。

我们比赛的地方是在美国的旧金山，那里风景很美，我好期盼啊!可是爸爸妈妈还在犹豫。妈妈说：“美国的冬天很冷，现在美国的甲型流感很严重，还是安全第一啊!”爸爸说：“去美国的签证很严，不可能三个人同时出去，你们俩在外面我不放心，费用也很高的!”

哎，大人总有那么多理由，看来去美国还真是件难办的事呀!

科幻故事从what if开始，也就是从反事实的科幻假设开始。对科幻电影的最根本剧透，就是揭露它的原初假设〈但不必然泄漏剧情〉。本片的原初假设似乎是以下六条。

一、寿命转移。寿命可以从一个人身上转移到另一个人身上。在人际转移中，必须至少一方存在转移或接受转移的意愿，寿命才能转移。

因此，产生了寿命交易，寿命馈赠。偷窃或抢夺寿命也产生了。但寿命不能从人身往动物身上转移，反之亦然。应该附带解释一下：电影不太说寿命，而说「时间」，但事实上它谈的是寿命。

二、寿命储存。寿命可以从人身中转移出来，保存在某种容器里;也可以从容器中转移出来，进入人身;寿命也可以从一个容器转移到另一个容器。

本片对寿命的超人际转移着墨较少，这有点可惜。

三、寿命定值。至少在地球上，至少对人际转移来说，寿命值不因寿命转移而变化，也不存在转移耗损。

因此，爱因斯坦的一秒钟，转到我身上来也是我的一秒钟，不会变成我的一刻钟。当然，寿命如何定价是另一回事，这属于比较低阶的故事设定，取决于具体的经济制度。

四、可转移寿命。只有一个人25足岁之后的寿命，才是可转移寿命(似乎也只有在25足岁之后，才能接受他人的寿命转移)。

也就是说，假设今天有100个婴儿出生，又假设25年后它们都顺利长大，那么结果就是25年后的今天地球上将产生(甚至增加)100年可转移寿命 (为什么是100年而不是200年或500年，要看下一条)。

五、天然寿限与老化停止。每个人的天然寿命上限都是26年，但可以因为接受转移而无限制延寿。25足岁之后，老化停止。

也就是说：如果不考虑寿命转移，那么一个人的生物时钟在26足岁时会自动停止，导致立即死亡。如果考虑寿命转移，也就是结合上一条设定来看的话，那么一个人25足岁之後，一旦寿命收支不能平衡，就会立即死亡，甚至活不满26岁。

六、其它条件，都和目前已知人性和社会属性基本一致。例如性成熟年龄与婚姻制度 (我必须说还保留婚姻制度这点不合人性) 。

为什么设定成这样?----对科幻作者而言，这问题没有意义。但对观众而言，这问题大有意义。如果科幻故事的设定不恰当，观众将难以产生共鸣甚至难以理解，科幻电影将丧失它的预言性或寓言性。

我觉得本片关于「天然寿限」与「可转移寿命」这两项设定(也是本片最重要的设定)的数字不太理想，减损了它的寓言价值。

依照本片的条件设定，残酷的竞争与剥削根本就是必然。如果大家都是自食其力渔猎采集完全不存在竞争与剥削，那么每个人都将在26岁死亡。但人类的性成熟年龄设定并未改变，26岁的男女可能连孩子都还没生出来，就算有孩子又能多大。我实在难以想象，在电影设定的世界里，如果不存在残酷的竞争与剥削，人类社会将如何延续，文化将如何传承。在电影设定的世界里，任何活过26岁的人都必然是剥削者。

更糟的是：时间压力如此紧迫，生育率必然下降。25岁的父母要养小孩，还要从事寿命竞争，这么辛苦谁还愿意生孩子。生育率低，社会上的可转移寿命总量就更少了(本片设定的长生不老必然来自年轻人的牺牲)，这岂不教寿命资源竞争更加惨烈?

总之，本片的基本设定数值和现实人类世界差距过大。我们就像站在三维世界去看平面世界的小打小闹，觉得剧中人可怜又可悲。男女主角真正该去争取的改变，不是银行和资本家的破产，而是Andrew Niccol修改剧本，至少也该重启基因工程把25和1这两个数字改一改。

当然，如果有人从高维世界观察我们这个世界，也一定会觉得我们总是小打小闹，既可怜又可悲。在这点上，本片还是具有极强的寓言警世作用。当我听到女主角爸爸那银行家说「你们只能造成一时的混乱，但别想这样就改变了体制」的时候，还是悚然一惊。

这个寒假，我去了位于地球另一端的--美国。其中让我感受最深的是参观位于亚利桑那州的科罗拉多大峡谷。

刚进大门，一股刺骨的寒气向我脊背袭来，但我们似火的热情与兴奋战胜了所谓的寒冷。四周压着深密的雪堆，在阳光照耀下显得金光闪闪，恰似一堆金子堆在我们面前，让人感觉这里十分富饶、繁华。

才走到半山腰就望见大峡谷那陡峭的顶峰，和一些凹凸不平的山峦，山上的盛开着不知名的野花、野草，伴着林中的鸟叫，使这座幽静的峡谷霎时活灵活现地变成了一个戴着花环唱歌的小姑娘。

走到高处，向下俯视，只听见"叮咚叮咚"的响声，这响声特别清脆，怪不得人们说"大自然的声音，比任何的音乐都好听"。咦?这时我才发现是碧玉的池水正围绕着山脉欢腾地流淌呢!要不然我就真以为是仙女下凡在弹奏琵琶哩!

再走进些，只见十几条小型瀑布从十几米高处缓流入一个不宽不深的小池中，但池水很清，清得可以瞧见江底的石子;池水很凉，凉得似乎涓涓流入人们的心房;池水的"叮咚"声很美，美得让人感到大自然在演奏交响曲。

傍晚来临，又红又紫的奇特晚霞浸入到大峡谷中，放眼望去，大峡谷原本青色的山逐渐变紫，顶着白色的雪和紫色的山，这跟天堂没什么两样，我不敢相信自己的眼睛，自己仿佛突然陷入到童话世界中来，白雪公主正站在山脚下向我友好地招招手呢!大峡谷的水也慢慢变紫，像许多紫宝石洒在聚宝盆中，闪烁着无限的光芒。

我深情地望着这披着晚霞的山，盖着晚霞的水，这点缀着茫茫苍穹的雪，心如潮涌......

啊!世界上迷人的景色仿佛在科罗拉多大峡谷聚集了。

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.

今天已是2月18了。离我的美国游学之行已经有些日子了，但一切还是那么熟悉，仿佛发生在昨天，我对那儿发生的一切还是记忆犹新。

我就摘录一段到美国第一天的日记吧。经过九个小时的飞行，我们于当地时间八点(北京时间凌晨零点)到了美国，那里阳光明媚。我们参观了当地著名的斯坦福大学和英特尔博物馆。下午，我们来到了当地的警察局和图书馆。虽然有点儿累，很想睡，但我还是坚持了下来，结束了当天的旅程。我们来到了友好学校。友好家庭的爸爸妈妈把我接回了家里。晚饭过后，友好家庭的爸爸妈妈还带我们去打篮球。

一切都是那么愉快!洗漱完后，我躺在床上，却睡不着，可能是时差没到过来，但我知道，我期盼明天和美国独立学校的学生一起上课。虽然美国之行已经结束了，但它带给我的收获会一直留在我心中，它令我受益匪浅。如果说要我把这次的旅程分为两部分的话，我会把第1，5，6，7天分为一部分，把第2，3，4分为另一部分。既然这次我们是去游学，前者就是所谓的“游”，后者就是所谓的“学”。这不，今天我们就开始“学”了。

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。

美国的老人

以前美国都是大家庭。人们孩子很多，祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但现在，家庭越来越小，许多老人独自生活。与此同时，美国人越活越长。老年人的数目总在不断增长。

有些老人喜欢呆在他们原来的房子里。他们不愿意从旧房子里搬出来。他们不想离开家乡。他们想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多，他们想结交新人，他们想和其他同龄的老人共同居住在一个僻静的地方。

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。

1956年，苏联开始参加奥运会冰球赛，五次夺冠，只有1960年让美国人偷走了金牌。1980年奥运会，美国派出了队史最年轻的冰球队：大学生加点职业联赛球员拼凑起来。半决赛，美国遭遇苏联。苏联以招牌的快速配合压倒，美国队则阻截运球、控制无球队员的防守、不惜用大量冲撞遏制苏联人的速度——0比1，1比1;1比2，2比2;2比3;3比3。当美国队神奇的4比3反败为胜时，CBA解说员麦克尔斯脱口怒吼：

“你相信奇迹吗!?是的!!”

美国淘汰苏联，随后击败芬兰夺冠。哪怕去掉美苏冷战的政治因素，这依然是不朽的传奇。

Today, my mother and I went to New York.

In New York and New York, there are two tunnels: the Lincoln tunnel and the Holland tunnel. The Lincoln tunnel is a tunnel in New York that spans the Hudson River to link the state of New Jersey. Olay is on the design of Xinshi?. The total length is 2281 meters, and the width is 6 and 55 meters. A tunnel into the tunnel, feeling very long, very dark, only two of the common tunnel light faint light. The Holland tunnel, 2608 meters long, sank on the Hudson River bed.

On entering New York, a large sign reads: "upper, middle, lower city". The upper and lower cities are good areas. The buildings on the city are tall and majestic. The architecture of the city is old and simple. There are two different kinds of beauty in the upper and lower cities, but these two kinds of beauty are not available to each other.

The city is home to the worlds most famous Locke Philo center. There are old parks in the lower city. There are high-rise buildings on the city, one after another is very majestic, each high-rise buildings have different characteristics, some tall and clinking, and some like building blocks up the same. The buildings in the lower city, though small, are also interesting. The buildings are almost the same. They are very elegant.

There are three scenic spots: Times Square and Central Park, Fifth Avenue. Now if you go to Times Square, you will have two kind of feeling, a feeling is in progress is two times, feeling Chinese stood up, because there are Chinese ads below, many shopping malls and speak Chinese salesman.

Central Park is big and beautiful. Fifth Avenue thing is all shops have a superb collection of beautiful things.

before the 1850s, the united states had a number of small colleges, most of them dating from colonial days. they were small, church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.

throughout europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. in german university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than nine thousand young americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to germany for advanced study. some of them return to become presidents of venerable colleges-----harvard, yale, columbia---and transform them into modern universities. the new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty.

professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. the new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the german method of lecturing, in which the professors own research was presented in class. graduate training leading to the ph.d., an ancient german degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, was introduced. with the establishment of the seminar system, graduate student learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.

at the same time, the new university greatly epanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. the president of harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own course of study. the notion of major fields of study emerged. the new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world. paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engazuowenng students being the most characteristic of the new regime. students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.

(American Students in Countryside )

eleven students from world college, west of the united states, kissed their newly-made chinese fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters “zaijian”(goodbye), tears in eyes, when leaving jiangwan township, in shanghai suburbs. these students, who are studying on a program of international relations, are believed to be the first hatch① of foreign students to live with chinese village families.

the students stayed in the village for two months. at daytime, they were given chinese language and history courses in the village classroom and took part in agricultural practice in the fields. they spent the rest of their time with the peasants, carrying water from wells, making a fire for cooking, even feeding babies.mr. carlos liked to take little children for a ride in bicycle whereas mr. david often played cards with his young chinese friends. miss tracy, a pretty l9-year-old girl, concentrated her enthusiasm on giving english lessons to pupils at jiangwan primary school. mr. richard with his video camera② finished a tv documentary③ about chinese village life.“we like the life here. its so quiet, so plain, yet so interesting,”said miss sandra, one of the students.

lunch time was the most enjoyable for both guest and host. they talked about everything that interested them. the villagers regarded these students as their own sons, daughters, brothers, or sisters.“this new form is also beneficial④ to ourselves,”said u hongming, deputy director ⑤ of jiangwan township. “we are looking forward to welcoming more foreign students to come here.”

indeed, the students not only learned chinese, but also knew more deeply about china within the two months. “weve learned a lot which we couldnt just at chinese colleges,” said miss nona from canada. when asked about the purpose of going to china and staying with chinese villagers, tracy showed her several articles published in an american newspaper:“living, studying and learning to accept and work within another entirely different culture is an important aspect⑥ of every society. communication, understanding, and above all, love are imperative⑦ for world peace.”

尊敬的总统阁下：

你好，我是凯巴伯森林的一只狼。您可能不认识我，但是我认识你。我是从您手下枪里逃脱的一只狼。从我伙伴的死亡，我知道你们对狼的看法。

在童话故事和你们的心中，我们的本性都是凶恶的，永远要吃掉那些你们口中说的善良动物，我们其实在你们心中的地位，和我们在现实中的举动都是不一样的。别看我们吃鹿，但是我们吃的都是都是一些病鹿，那些年轻的我们只是吓唬一下他们，让他们锻炼一下身体。那些跑不动的，就没有用了，所以我们就把他们吃了。

我们生物之间都有一个生物链。狼吃鹿，鹿吃森林。如果你们都把我们杀死，那么鹿会吃光整片森林，他们吃完草吃小树，吃完小树吃大树。甚至有的小树都还没有长出来呢就被他们吃了。如果没有狼，他们就不会跑，就不会锻炼身体，如果他们不锻炼身体，他们老的老病的病，就达不到你们要保护鹿的意思了。我们之所以吃鹿，是因为我们要保持鹿的数量，如果他们的数量多了，就会吃掉森林，如果他们的数量平衡了，森林就会更加的松山葱郁，生机勃勃。

你们是想要生机勃勃的森林呢，还是想要光秃秃的大地呢？还是你们想要多多的鹿，还是想让它们生态平衡呢？我相信你一定有自己的明智的决定。

朱自清是清华大学中文系教授。1948年初，人民解放战争进入最后阶段，6月，北平学生掀起了反对美国扶植日本军国主义的运动。当时，朱自清身患重病，又无钱医治，但他毫不犹豫地在写着“为表示中国人民的尊严和气节，我们断然拒绝美国具有收买灵魂性质的一切施舍物资，无论是购买的或给予的”。的宣言上签了自己的名字。8月初，朱自清病情加重，入院治疗无效，12日逝世。那时他年仅50岁。临终前，朱自清以微弱的声音谆谆叮嘱家人：“有件事要记住，我是在拒绝美国面粉的文件上签过名的，我们家以后不买国民党配合给的美国面粉!”

吴晗1960年写的《关于朱自清不领美国“救济粮”》说：“这时候，他的胃病已经很严重了，只能吃很少的东西，多一点就要吐。面庞瘦削，说话声音低沉。他有大小七个孩子，日子比谁过得都困难。但是他一看了稿子，毫不迟疑，立刻签了名。”朱自清夫人也写道：“我们家人口多，尤其困难。为了生活，佩弦(朱自清字佩弦)不得不带着一身重病，拼命多写文章，经常写到深夜，甚至到天明。那时家里一天两顿粗粮，有时为照顾他有胃病，给他做一点细粮，他都从不一个人吃，总要分给孩子们吃。”在吴晗找朱签名时，“他的病情已经很严重了，呕吐得厉害——医生说应尽快动手术。”当天朱自清的日记中写道：“此事每月须损失六百万法币，影响家中甚大，但余仍决定签名。因余等既反美扶日，自应直接由自身做起，此虽只为精神上之抗议，但决不应逃避个人责任。”由此可见，吴晗说“毫不迟疑，立刻签了名”显然有夸张之嫌，朱自清至少也是咬牙决定的，以身作则的观念使他决定牺牲家庭的生活必需。

Different social attitudes: The british are, in some ways, less conservative than Americans - the drinking age is 18, not 21, homosexual civil unions are legal, and abortion hasnt been a serious political issue in years. Mixing religion and politics is extremely rare in the UK. On the other hand, there are stricter controls on some things - its much harder to get a driving licence, and the age requirement is higher than in most states, there are speed cameras everwhere, CCTV cameras in many public places (although they may or may not be working), and carrying weapons or other objects for "self defence" is illegal (in particular, note that pepper spray is illegal).

Getting into a debate about the right to bear arms will be very time consuming, and may also lead people to think that youre a gun-nut before theyve got to know you properly.

Smoking in enclosed public places is illegal - that includes pubs, the underground, train stations... more or less any non-residential building actually... (similar to New York, so not so much of a cultural difference there).

人，没经历过某些，永远不会懂得某些，这是人性基础设定。虽然大量文字影像言教身传试图告诉未开化的人性很多道理，但是很可惜，且不提洗脑的扭曲和智力悟性基因的限制，无用功且误判误导，不如不用拿出来糟蹋。剧本台词演员……看得我很尴尬，群演不错，我确实老了，看到有人看哭了，我表示羡慕你的年青。努力跳着看到结局，想知道怎么自圆其说而已。片子虽然努力试图表达人性中恬静美好的一面，人的一生，只为了完美自己与身边人的人格，而已，但导演和剧本本身太过肤浅，画虎不成反类犬，看得听得很尴尬。但，需要给世界一点光，给所有努力找到人格的人一点光。

你要改变的不是世界，是你自己。

美利坚合众国的国旗旗面由13道红白相间的宽条构成，左上角还有一个包含了50颗白色小五角星的蓝色长方形。50颗小星代表了美国的50个州，而13条间纹则象征着美国最早建国时的13块殖民地。下面是由小编为你整理的美国国旗来源英语作文，欢迎大家阅读。
