中国文化与美国文化的不同的英语作文（经典20篇）

妈妈很喜欢品茶，因为茶有数不清的文化和源远流长的历史。妈妈还和我说品茶，是一种享受，品茶既讲究茶具种类，又讲究品饮心态、饮品姿态、饮品礼仪…。而且茶饮不离茶具。

中国茶有红、绿、青、黄、黑、白，六大类两千个花色品种。

我看过一本书，书上曰：“一杯则曰品，二杯则曰解渴，三杯是驴饮。”品茶很有讲究，一杯须分三口喝，第一口试茶温，第二口品茶香，第三口才是饮茶。

我国茶区甚广，茶类之多、饮茶之盛、茶艺之精，茶史之悠久，堪称世界之最。因此妈妈常常把我叫去一边品茶一边讲述茶的文化。作文

不同的茶有不同的来历，也有不同的文化，只要你细细体会，多多查阅就能得到更多中国古老茶文化的知识。

今天我来到了闻名中外的颐和园。颐和园原名清漪园，始建于1750年，历时15年完工，是大清北京著名三山五园中最后兴建的一座园林。1860年被英法联军焚毁，1866年开始重建，1888年改名颐和园，1895年工程结束，是慈禧太后挪用海军经费修建的。1900年，颐和园又遭八国联军严重破坏，1902年再次修复。

我们走过宫殿区就看到了昆明湖，湖边就是长廊，这个长廊是吉尼斯世界记录的保持者，是史上最长的景观步道有700多米长，长廊枋梁上有彩画14000多幅，它还分别有四个亭子代表着春、夏、秋、冬。我们还坐船游了昆明湖上的十七孔桥，最大的桥洞上刻有一幅对联可惜已经看不清了。

慈禧太后是中国第一个用上电灯的，中国最早的电灯就在颐和园。当时李莲英为了讨好慈禧太后就把灯都涂上不同的颜色对慈禧太后说：“我给太后带来了一些宝石，宝石还会亮，并且我让哪个亮哪个就亮”。慈禧太后不相信就来到了颐和园的乐寿堂，李莲英说：“红宝石亮，红宝石亮，红灯亮了，绿宝石亮，绿宝石亮，绿灯也亮了”慈禧不明白，李莲英才道出缘由。古时候没有发电站，为了让颐和园里的电灯亮每天都有十几个人在骑一辆“发电自行车”才能保证颐和园灯火通明。

看完颐和园我不禁赞叹古人的鬼斧神工，更反感慈禧太后的奢华，正是因为这才使得大清朝一步步走向了灭亡。

Today, the world is learning mandarin. According to the report, there are

over one hundred million foreign people learning Chinese. Whats more, a lot of

foreign companies are having their workers master not only Chinese language, but

also the culture. Chinese dream influences so many people, which provides great

business chances and let the young people realize their dreams. Just as the

successful person said, the 19th century belonged to the UK, 20th century

belonged to America and the 21th century surely belonged to China, whether

people liked it or not. We need to master the chance and equip ourselves with

many skills, so that success will come at hand.

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional

Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the

developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing

no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to

Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local

economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government

pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou

in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture

effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s

performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more

they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support

we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable

culture.

我国经过20年的改革开放，经济水平大大提高，中国经济发展的投资也趋向于城市建设和发展领域，这给我国的城市发展带来了难得的发展机遇。然而，国家和地方财政对城市建设的投资非常有限，城市发展资金主要靠各城市独立解决，所以不少城市都把发展提到了新的高度。

根据国内外多年的实践证明，在城市建设中，规划是龙头，规划必须先行。在城市发展中道理也是一样的。因此，城市发展的规划方略研究，十分重要。城市规划走向发展性的城市规划，城市规划本身就可以创造价值，城市规划本身就是城市经营。一个好的建设规划、小区规划就可以创造上亿的价值，上海文化佳苑就是一例。一个好的城市总体规划创造的价值更是不可估量，周庄、平遥的规划最有说服力。

概括起来，城市发展的规划方略，主要有如下方面：保护城市历史文化遗产，长远考虑城市发展;优化城市环境，以环境美提升城市资产价值;基础设施区域共用，节约投资并增加效益;规划先行，搞好城市发展性规划。这些问题是城市发展与城市规划建设的热点与难点问题，也是城市发展急待解决的问题。  那么，各城市如何在实际工作中正确地面对并有效地解决这些问题和难题，以推动城市的建设健康顺利发展?为此，本报记者采访了上海同济联合城市规划与景观设计研究所所长、中国城市研究专家李秉毅，请其主要就“保护城市历史文化遗产，长远考虑城市发展”的城市规划方略发表看法。

保护城市历史文化遗产的意义何在?

李秉毅介绍说，城市历史文化遗产保护的意义主要有4个方面：历史研究——历史文化价值、科学研究——科学价值、发展旅游——经济价值及可持续发展。我们首先从历史研究着眼，来看待城市文化价值。

城市文化遗产是城市历史发展的见证，是城市历史研究的重要依据。研究城市、人类发展历史，借古明今，有利于促进城市发展。

在历史科学研究进程中人们发现，历史古城、建筑、构筑物(如中国的赵州桥、都江堰，埃及的金字塔)等有很深奥的科学道理，有的甚至是现在人们还不清楚的科学理论，保护历史文化遗产，尤其是保护凝聚了3000多年历史文化的中国历史文化遗产，对科学研究有重要的意义。

李秉毅说，正是这些人类前进中创造的城市文化遗产，为我们的城市发展提供了良好的条件——发展城市旅游业，用经济价值去直观地表现城市历史文化的独特魅力，有利于更好地发展城市。中国5000多年的历史文化遗产丰富而迷人，它吸引着无数的中国人，更让外国人向往，这些都是发展城市旅游业的重要资源，也是人们游憩、观光、获得美的享受的重要场所。小小的周庄(小镇)，年旅游收入达2亿元，增长率也是惊人的。

随着经济水平的提高，旅游业所带来的收益不断提高，旅游在国民经济中的比例不断增长。我国城市历史文化旅游的潜力很大。我国张掖市比日本的高山市的历史文化遗产丰富得多、有价值得多，然而，我国张掖市的旅游收入占国内生产值的比例却比日本的高山市低得多，张掖市不到10%，而日本的高山市在70%以上。

总之，保护历史文化遗产有重要的意义。国家每年拿出2000万元用于历史文化名城保护。历史文化名城、世界文化遗产丽江古城，遭受地震时，国际上给了相当数量的捐助。保护城市历史文化遗产，是城市经营的长远战略。

[中国历史文化遗产作文

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.

中国是一个历史悠久的国家，有着五千年的瑰宝。唐代有诗，宋代有词，元代有曲……我热爱于这些智慧结晶!但点缀着它们的还有可爱的标点符号们。

我爱逗号，长得像小蝌蚪的逗号在文章中十分受欢迎，惹人喜爱。当句子太长，让人捉不透时，逗号大师便登场了。对，这需要停顿一下，这就不需要了。瞧，一句优美的句子就诞生了。

我爱句号。长得最饱满的句号与逗号常常合手共助，创造出一篇篇文章。无论在哪里，都有他们忙碌的身影。句号象征着美好的结局，常为文章起画龙点睛之用。

我爱感叹号。长得最奇特的感叹号也谓是无人不知，无人不晓。哪篇感情丰富的作文不用它。当人们高兴、悲伤时都会出现，可谓是人类的贴心小棉袄。

我爱问号。上面是个耳朵形，下面是个小圆点，这就是我们的问号大王。当人们遇到问题时，问号便派上了很大的用场。一样的一句话问号与句号便有天壤之别。当然问号还有别的作用，反问句中问号有着别样的色彩。

我最爱省略号。六个可爱的小圆点把它展现人们眼前。要说省略号，那用处就多了。它可以起省略作用，还可以表示语言停顿、结巴。但最重要是它让人引起的遐想。许多唯美句子文章的结尾都有它的身影。它让我们勾起对往事的回忆，对事情的不同看法，对未来的幻想……

我爱中华文化，我爱我的祖国!

坐游船来到颐和园的昆明湖，导游领我们游览了长廊、十七孔桥和排云殿三个景点。

长廊果然很长，是一条五颜六色的画廊，廊间的每根枋梁上都画着不同的彩画，每一幅彩画都有着神奇的魔力，让我们穿越时空，仿佛回到了古代。

到了十七孔桥，弟弟妹妹先开问了。导游笑着介绍，“十七孔桥是颐和园内最大的石桥。桥由17个孔组成，长150米，桥上石雕极其精美，每个桥栏的望柱上都雕有神态各异的狮子，大大小小共544个，没有两个狮子是完全一样的。至于为什么要修17个孔，那是因为不管从哪一边数过去最中间的桥洞肯定是第九个，象征着皇家的九五之尊。”“哦，原来是这样啊。”大家恍然大悟：玩赏处处皆学问啊!

在排云殿里，我们左瞧右看，觉得不大不小的排云殿很有气势。“排云殿建在石砌的月台上，殿正中为九龙宝座，是慈禧太后寿辰时受贺之座。东配殿叫芳辉殿，西配殿为紫霄殿。”听导游这么一说，再看看排云殿，好像更气派了。

为了感谢导游阿姨的服务，大伯伯邀请她和我们合影留恋。出了颐和园，我想，今天不仅游览了颐和园，还学到许多知识，真是“读万卷书，行千里路”啊!

各位游客朋友们，大家好，我是你们的导游——张导。伴着徐徐的春风，我们来到了祖国西北的一颗明珠——莫高窟面前。

莫高窟坐落在我国甘肃省三危山和鸣沙山的怀抱中，它的四周布满沙丘。莫高窟的洞窟数量有735个，分南北两个区，南区492个，北区243个。洞窟里面有精彩绝伦的彩塑、宏伟瑰丽的壁画，还有堪称无价之宝的藏经。它是世界上最长、规模最大、内容最丰富的画廊。

大家请跟随我到内洞，让我们一起来欣赏那些历史悠久的壁画。莫高窟壁画的内容丰富多彩，有记录佛教故事的，有描绘神佛形象的，有反映民间生活的，还有描摹自然风光的。它是世界现存佛教艺术最伟大的宝库。

大家看，面前的这一幅壁画，是佛教艺术的其中一幅。这幅画的描绘的是《尸毗王割肉救鸽》的故事。在很久很久以前，有一个叫国王叫尸毗王，大家都知道释迦摩尼吧，尸毗王就是它的前世。尸毗王十分的诚实、善良和仁慈，他一心求佛。天上有两个佛想要考验尸毗王是不是真心求佛。他们一个变成了鸽子，一个变成了老鹰。老鹰追逐鸽子，鸽子躲到了尸毗王的怀里。老鹰恶狠狠地说：“把鸽子还给我!”因为尸毗王十分善良，他愿意割自己的肉给老鹰，来换取鸽子的性命。两个佛看尸毗王果然是真心向善，这时，天空下了一阵香雨，国王感到身体轻飘飘的，他成了佛。这个故事就讲完啦。

下面，大家看一看壁画上的飞天，洞窟里有成百上千幅飞天，有的臂挎花篮，采摘鲜花。有的怀抱琵琶，请拨琴弦。有的倒着身子，自天而降。有的彩带飘扬，有的舒展双臂，翩翩起舞。

莫高窟是举世闻名的艺术宝库，这里的每一尊彩塑，每一幅壁画，都凝结着劳动人民的智慧。游客朋友们，我们了解了莫高窟，听了《尸毗王割肉救鸽》的故事，大家有没有被莫高窟的艺术魅力震撼呢?下面，大家可以自行游览，体会莫高窟的奇妙之处。

“文化自信是更基础、更广泛、更深厚的自信，是一个国家、一个民族发展中最基本、最深沉、最持久的力量。”中华文明五千多年，是人类历史上唯一未曾中断的原生文明，具有强大的凝聚力、延续力、包容力，表现出丰富多元、连绵不绝、兼容并蓄的文化特质。此次有幸观摩故宫博物院与央视文博探索节目《国家宝藏》联合主办的“何以中国”展览，使我深刻感受到文化的力量，感受到文化自信对一个国家、一个民族的意义。

以中华文明之“源”，感文化自信之奠基。

源，水之本也。文化是一个国家、一个民族的灵魂，而文物则是文化奠基和传承的最好载体，中华文明能绵延至今，是先民们在顺应自然、参悟天地之间，将自己对自然的所思所想凝结成一件件器物，又经无数代人的努力，得以流传至今。中华文化之“源”，不是单一的，是多源头的，有史前红山人的“玉龙”，是中华龙文化文明的源泉之一;有新石器时代良渚文化的“玉琮”，良渚人以玉为配饰，以显示尊贵和财富，而如今的中国人，也对玉情有独钟;而到了商周时期，商人于龟甲刻辞，不仅为后人研究商代的社会历史文化和语言文字提供了珍贵资料，同时也能让后人一睹早期汉字的风采;而秦始皇时期，统一文字、货币、度量衡，废分封、行郡县，建立中央集权、创建三公九卿，为后世建立大一统国家打下了坚实基础;汉朝罢黜百家、独尊儒术，使儒家学说成为中国封建正统思想，一直延续了两千多年，对后世中国政治、经济、文化产生了深远的影响。而正是这些“源”，才造就了如此璀璨绵长的中华文明，为中华文明之河奔流千载、绵延万方提供不竭动力。

以中华文明之“流”，感文化自信之传承。

流，集多源之水。现实和历史都表明，一个抛弃或背叛自己历史文化的民族，不仅不可能发展起来，而且很可能上演一幕幕历史悲剧。而中华民族就是一个善于将多样民族文化融合并传承的民族，在中华文明的历史长河中，各民族共同开疆扩土、共同书写历史、共同创造灿烂文化、共同培育伟大精神。我们有喜爱自然主义装饰的古滇族，有生活在甘、青、川的古老民族羌和氐，还有在大理国时代融合了佛教文化并尊“金翅鸟”为护卫神鸟的北方游牧民族。文明因交流而多彩，因互鉴而丰富。海上、陆上丝绸之路的畅通也为中华文明同外部文明的融合创造了良好条件，我们采用中东钴蓝釉料制作出青花瓷、用阿拉伯的“铜胎掐丝珐琅”工艺制作“香薰球”，用源于古印度的“本生故事”描绘莫高窟壁画《鹿王本生故事图》，同时我们又将我们瓷器、茶叶、丝绸等出口出去，在络绎不绝的交流中获得发展创新的契机与动力。

以中华文明之“汇”，感文化自信之包容。

汇，拢万流于一处，成百川之渊薮。我们今天所走的中国特色社会主义道路，是从中华民族5000多年悠久文明的传承中走出来的。求木之长者，必固其根本;欲流之远者，必浚其源泉’。中华优秀传统文化是中华民族的精神命脉，是涵养社会主义核心价值观的重要源泉，也是我们在世界文化激荡中站稳脚跟的坚实根基。”中华民族凭借着以和为贵、海纳百川的包容特质、天下一家的大国气度，汲百家之长，取万物之精华，将各族儿女紧密团结在一起，秉持着天下为公之胸怀，凝聚万众一心之伟力，共筑万里山河，共护江山万里。

华夏是历史也是现在，中国是家邦更是信仰。古人讲“万物有所生，而独知守其根”。中华文明绵延至今，正是因为有这种根的意识。而作为一名共产党员，作为一名基层工作人员，我们更应该身体力行，做好中华文化的继承者和传播者。社区是社会的基因，将中国传统文化的诸多精髓融入社区文化之中，成为建设和谐社会的内驱力。每一代人有每一代人的长征，我们应该增强文化自觉、坚定文化自信，积极投身到社会主义文化强国的建设中，坚持为人民服务、为社会主义服务，展示中华文化新气象、铸就中华文化新辉煌，时刻牢记历史文化遗产是祖先留给我们的宝贵财富，我们一定要完整地将它交给后人!

暑假里，妈妈带我去鼓浪屿，鼓浪屿位于福建省厦门市。在去厦门的路上我心情特别高兴，大约乘了6小时的动车，我们终于到了目的地——向往已久的鼓浪屿。

我们跟着导游来到了鼓浪屿，首先我们参观了著名的万国建筑，那里的建筑好像一座座城堡巍然耸立。接着我们又去了菽庄花园，那里有一个钢琴博物馆，里面的钢琴各种各样五花八门。它们有着很长的历史，有的是1788年英国独特的钢琴，犹如一只帆船。有的是19世纪的美国钢琴，让我眼前一亮。还有的甚至是11世纪生产的法国钢琴，那架钢琴只有20个键，但能弹出优美的音乐。

最后我们去了最引人注目的海滩，我和几个小朋友赤着脚一起在沙滩上搭各式各样的东西。有的搭了一座高山好像我这么高，有的搭了一朵花特别好看，还有的搭了一辆汽车样子很威武。后来我们又去海滩边捡贝壳，各种各样的贝壳五颜六色的非常好看。一阵阵海浪向我猛浦过来，特别凉爽，过了一会儿，我们乘着快艇去鼓浪屿的海上转了一圈，我还看见了郑成功的雕像，郑成功是我国的爱国将领。

啊!鼓浪屿真美啊，使人流连忘返。

中国是一个历史文化悠久的文明古国，中国人民几千年来创造了无数灿烂辉煌的传统文化。也许中国有了基本的道德准则、和礼仪文化。

中国从古代以来就被世人称为“文明古国，礼仪之邦”。中国具有五千年的文化风俗历史。中国古代的教育学家孔子就教育我们“不学礼，无以立。”的话语。

毫无疑问，传统礼仪文化对于我国社会发展产生了积极的影响。一般说来，社会上讲文明礼貌的人越多，这个社会便会越和谐。

在当今社会中，我们应立足于吸收民族文化中的精华，建起一片属于自己的文明天空。我们应该以自己祖国的传统文化为荣，让中国的传统文化更好地发扬和继承下去，而不是让传统文化逐渐地埋没和暗淡下去。

中华上下五千年，传统文化一路风尘仆仆走过来，有的是深厚的文化底蕴。但在今天，一提及中国传统文化，大多数人并没有什么清晰的概念，甚至有很多现代的年轻人并不喜欢过中国的传统节日。其实，除了端午节以外，我们国家还有许许多多的节日，比如春节、清明节、中秋节等。可相反，他们更喜欢过外国人的洋节日。例如白色情人节、圣诞节、万圣节等丰富多彩的外国人的节日，他们认为过这样的节日更有意思，更能够符合现在的潮流。但年轻人对于传统文化的理解却是意识十分淡薄。

中国的传统文化正在遭受着史无前例的遗忘与不屑，传统文化是中国几千年来老百姓的智慧和汗水的结晶和产物。是不能够被人们轻易的轻视和糟蹋掉的。

中国的传统文化，应是体现中国人价值的生活方式，传录它们还可以使我们的文化内涵发扬光大。

传统文化毕竟是中国传承了几千年的血脉，若血脉堵塞，中国只能被称为是一个现代国，而不能称其为中国了。

中国传统文化博大精深，它足以使国人和海外人引来容耀和自豪，它是中华民族重要的凝聚力，没有它，国人将迷失自我。没有它，中国便将只剩下一个空壳子。

纵观古今中外各国发展，世上没有一个民族是会否定自身的传统文化的，没有任何一个民族会认为自己的优秀的传统文化是过时的，有害的。

而传承和继承并发扬中国传统礼仪文化。是每个华夏儿女的责任，只有这样，我们才能无愧地大声说：“我是中国人!”

中华民族的传统文化是民族的精神支柱。中华传统文化是中国人民乃至全人类的宝贵财富。

我们应该继承和发扬中国传统文化，对于外来文化，应该做到，取其精华去其糟粕。这样才能够更好的保护中国的传统文化，不让它受外来文化所侵略。

当我们来看秦兵马俑时，秦兵马俑已发掘了三个俑坑，三个坑的总面积是2万平方米，大约有50个篮球场大。在三个坑里，1号坑最大，这三个俑坑里的秦兵马俑大约有八千多个。

俑坑里的兵马俑一行行，一列列，十分整齐，排成了一个长方形的军阵，多么像秦始皇统率的一支队伍呀!

走近些去看，有很多兵马俑手中都拿着武器：什么矛呀，什么盾呀，等等!武士俑身高大约1。8米，体格健壮，身高和体形匀称;武士俑戴头盔，穿铠甲，脚穿战靴，拿着武器，最后等待开战!离秦兵马俑再近些，可以听见他们的呼吸声，能听见他们思念家乡的声音!

我想：秦兵马俑已经看到了自己的亲人，想拥抱他，想告诉他自己有多么的自豪，可是，脚却怎么也迈不开，只好在原地干着急。

听导游说，这些凹进去的土就是埋秦兵马俑的坑。

在观看秦兵马俑的时候，我知道第一个发现秦兵马俑的人是杨志发，如果没有杨志发，就没有我们这个珍贵的文物!

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.

Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.

Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.

Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

The American concept of time

Because of the fierce competition, the American society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans time view of tension. "Time is money" is the most accurate expression of the American attitude to time. Americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. Americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a persons self-cultivation, and his respect for others. Therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.

So we stress that being on time is not just about the individuals schedule, but if youre not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others time. In the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. American schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. Everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you dont have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole teams performance, it is also a lot of American students constantly complaining about a problem. So being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the United States.

The way americans communicate

Talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. When youre talking to friends from all over the world, youre not just talking to each other, youre communicating with each other. The way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.

Direct refreshing

Most of the time, conversations in the United States belong to a tendency to get information. They like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. They will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. Answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also wont go to touch up for his answer, and if you dont have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.

Positive questions

Another obvious feature of the American way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. In the course of conversation, if americans dont understand what they dont understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. This feature is encouraged in class. In American classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. Therefore, American classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.

body language

The tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. Spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will divide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. Eye contact is the key of the above elements. Keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while youre talking. This is something americans value too much.

Here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:

Weather and mood

Some of my past experiences

My own campus life, or work content

Car, fashion, shopping, TV, music, clothing and other casual topics

At the same time, we should avoid the following topics:

Savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation

Family situation

Religious beliefs and so on

The last thing to note is that when you dont have a good grasp of your sense of humor, its best not to play it at will. You know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.

Were divided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. The same is true of Americas diversity.

Climate change is a top priority. On the other hand is psychological preparation. Residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the Midwests character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to individualism, live along the west coast of the United States people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. Youre going to be on a trip to the United States, and youre going to have to look at the cities where youre going to school, and youre going to have a general idea of what youre going to do in these areas.

对于美国文化的认识决不能止于从电视上了解到的内容，因为，她有着自己最鲜明的特点，那就是多样性。作为一个拥有庞大移民人口的国家而言，美国不存在唯一的生活方式，不存在唯一的行为标准，更不存在唯一的文化。美国的多样性渗透在国家的各个方面，以下的指南也许不能帮你克服所有因文化差异而带来的困扰，但希望能对大家为留学美国而做的基本准备和大致计划有所帮助。

美国人的生活习惯与中国人有很大不同，美国食物味道清淡，制作简单迅速，主菜为肉、鱼、鸡类。一餐中一般仅一道主菜，而沙拉和咖啡是绝不能少的。热狗和汉堡包是最流行的两种快速食品。

美国人生性好动，每年都有超过1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的报纸登载周内租售房屋与寓所的最详尽名单，可以通过这些资料找房子，也可以找当地的地产经纪人。租房子除要付租外，一般还要付公用事业费，即煤气、电、暖气、热水和简单的电器修理及其他修理费。租金通常一个月，一般每月的第一天付。美国大部分地区的电力为110-120伏，60Hz。

美国几乎每家都有小汽车，美国的高速路十分发达，四通八达，因此很多美国人工作地点与居住地很远。在假日里，他们经常全家驾车出游。市内最常用的交通工具是公共汽车和地铁。地铁一般都是日夜开行。出租汽车一般按路程(短程)或时间(远程)计费。全国实行靠右行车，大城市执行交通法规尤为严格。

美国人的时间观念

美国社会由于竞争激烈，充满了运动和变化，人们始终处于奔忙之中，结果也就养成了美国人的紧张时间观。“时间就是金钱”这句话是美国人对于时间的态度的最准确表达。美国人对于时间的珍视不仅仅因为他们认为时间是一种切实的事物，更重要的是他们认识到了时间的紧迫和缺乏。美国人相信，在时间的问题上可以充分反应出一个人的自身素质修养，以及他对于他人的尊重。所以，有一份详细的作息时间表，并严格的遵守它，是相当必要的。

所以我们强调做到准时，不仅仅是关乎到个人的日程安排，若你没有做到准时，反应出的是你对他人时间的不尊重。在学习生活中，除了准时上课外，更需要遵守的是各种学习任务的截止时间安排。美国学校的教学方式一般是老师安排给学生一项课题，然后会由学生几个人之间结成学习小组共同来进行。学习小组中的每个人都会负责不同的方面，如果你没有在规定的截止日期内完成你负责的那一部分，影响的就是整个小组的成绩，这也是很多美国学生不断在抱怨的一个问题。所以，做到准时是在美国学习和生活的一个最基本的要求。

美国人的交流方式

与人交谈是人际交往中最基础的形式。当你与来自世界各地的朋友们交谈时，你们之间交流的不仅仅是彼此的观点和话题，更深层次的是在进行着文化的交流。语言表达的方式往往可以反应出某个地区或是某个国家的特色。

◎直接爽快

大多时候，美国人的谈话属于有一种想要获取信息的趋势。他们喜欢提出很多问题，并且是用很直接的方式。他们会用最简单直接的语言表达来获取自己想要的信息，这过程中，他们并不太在意措辞是否优美，意思表达是否婉转等问题，这有时不免会让与之对话者有一种不太礼貌的感觉。回答问题也是一样，当答案是否定的时候，美国人会直接告诉你“不“，同样不会去为他的答案进行润色，若是你没有提前了解到他们这种说话习惯，那感觉尴尬就是在所难免的了。

◎积极提问

美国人的交流方式中还有一个明显的特点就是毫不犹豫的提问。在交谈过程中，如果美国人有不明白，没听清的地方时，他们通常会及时的向对方把问题提出，直到弄懂为止。这一特点在课堂上成为被鼓励的做法。在美国的课堂上，学生可以随时向授课教室提出任何相关问题，而授课者都会极为乐意的为学生解答问题。所以，美国的课堂总是会让学生在轻松，互动，积极的氛围里吸收知识。

◎肢体语言

人类交流的工具不仅仅是语言，还有肢体语言。说话时的手势，身体的姿势，以及脸部的表情都是恰当运用肢体语言的关键，我们要分场合，分对象，分话题的灵活调整和运用肢体语言。其中目光接触则是上述要素中的关键。交谈时要时刻保持自己的目光是与对方相接触的，目光自然和善即可。这一点也是美国人相当看重的。

这里我们给大家提供几个很适合与几乎所有美国人交谈的话题：

天气情况和心情

自己以往的某些经历

自己的校园生活，或是工作内容

汽车，时尚，购物，影视，音乐，服装等休闲话题

同时我们应该避免以下话题：

存款，收入等与个人经济情况有关的话题

家庭情况

宗教信仰等等

最后需要提醒大家的一点是，当你对自己的幽默感并没有十足的把握时，最好不要随意发挥它。要知道，不同国家，不同文化，对幽默的认识是有所不同的，恰当的幽默可以活跃谈话气氛，反之则很容易引起不必要的误解或是不愉快。

美国一共划分为50个州，每个州都有不同的行政法规，再加上地理位置，气候条件的差异，就导致了各州的居民都有着不同的生活习惯。这里同样体现的是美国的多样性。

气候不同是首要考虑的问题。另外一方面就是心理上的准备。不同地区的居民有着不同的性格特征，比如：东部的人看起来总是匆匆忙忙的，为工作而奔波着，南部的人却是以他们悠闲，平静并且热情好客的性格特点而闻名，中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成实际的，固执的，还有一点传统，西部居民显得比较独立，重视个人主义，沿西海岸居住的美国人给我们的印象就是休闲，放松，随意。将要踏上美国之旅的你，需要针对就读学校所处城市，在这些方面搜集资料，提前有个大体的概念。

[英语作文美国的文化

The difference between chinese and western culture

With the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other. So all the people are faced with the challenge of understand this world. So when the east meet west, there are many problems. Some problems are listed as follows.

First of all, the way of eating. All huaman beings have certain basic needs. Our fundamental needs for things that keep us alive. This is the physioligical need. All individuals must eat in order to survive. But what people eat, when they eat, and the manners in which they eat are all patterned by culture. No society views everything in its environment that is edible and might provide nurishment as food. Americans eat oysters but not snail. The French eat snails but not locusts. The Jews eat fish but not pork. The Hindus eat pork but not beef. The Russiand eat beef but not snake. We all have ideas about what kinds of food are good to eat. We also have ideas about what kinds of food are bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the food that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating. Dislike is not the only reason why some culture will not eat a certain food. In some clture, certain foods are taboo. Sometimes the food taboos may be so strong thrat just the thought of eating forbidden foods can cause an indivdual to feel ill. We can also find culture difference in way of bring up children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and spending money before other people do in everyday, but in some English-speaking countries, people do not agree with us. We chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider as edible by the English-speaking people. Generally we perfer to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. We eat from one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat one by one, and in the shape of a round. On the opposite, some English-speaking contries, most of the people like to seat in two rows, two people face to face. They have their own plate. On the aspect of table manners, there are many differences between chinese and English-speaking people. For example, in some Englishi-speaking countries, Bread plates are to the left of the main plate, beverage glasses are to the right. Salad fork, knife and soup spoon are further from the

main plate than the main course knife, fork and spoon. When eating bread rolls, break off a piece before buttering. Use the knife only to butter the bread, not to cut it. They should not start eating before your host does or instructs to do so. At larger meals, it is considered okay to start eating once others have been served. When finished, place the knife and fork together at five o’clock with the fork on the left. It is considered rude to answer the telephone at the table. If need to take an urgent call, excuse self and go outside. Try to eat all the food you are served. But in China, the table manners are different. Chinese traditionally eat rice from a small bowl held in the left hand. The rice bowl is raised to the mouth and the rice pushed into the mouth using the chopsticks. Some Chinese find it offensive to scoop rice from the bowl using a spoon. If rice is served on a plate, as is more common in the West, it is acceptable and more practical to eat it with a fork or spoon. The thumb must always be above the edge of the bowl. The host should always make sure the guests drinks are sufficiently full. One should not pour for ones self, but should offer to pour for a neighbor. When your drink is being poured, you should say "thank you" and tap fingers on the table to show appreciation. When people wish to clink drinks together in the form of a cheer, it is important to observe that younger members should clink the edge of their drink below the edge of an elder to show respect.

Secondly, the way of communication. Form birth to death, communication plays an integral part in our life. There are some language problems, including the different styles of using language such as direct, indirect; expansive, succinct; argumentative, conciliatory; instrumental, harmonnizing; and so on. These different styles can lead to wrong interpretations of intent and evaluation of insincerity, aggreeiveness, deviousness, or arrogance, among other. The misinterpretation nonverbal signs and symbols such as gestures, postures, and other body movements. It is a definite communication barrier. But it is possible to learn the meanings of these observable message,usually in informal rather ways. It is more difficult to understand the less obvious unspoken codes of the other cultures. Language, as the carrier of culture, is created during the process of human beings’ productive labor and serves as the tool of communication to convey the message between people. However, it has been endowed with magic and power in particular language acts. As the old saying goes, troubles come out of the tongue. Superstitious people think that the language itself can bring about fortune or misfortune so that taboos to restrict the use of language are created. Anyone who violates them will get punishment, whereas those who faithfully obey the restrictions of language taboo will get protection. Furthermore, linguistic taboos change with the development of society .The paper firstly analyzes the evolution of linguistic taboo. It is indicated in the paper that linguistic taboo exists in almost every aspect of people’s life and is a universal social phenomenon in China and Britain. Both Chinese and

English cultures are in agreement about linguistic taboos such as pronunciation taboo, and vocabulary taboo. However, influenced by different cultural backgrounds, ideologies and the concepts of value, Chinese and English linguistic taboos also have differences, as is discussed in the paper from the aspects of taboo subjects, taboo numbers and names. At last, this paper puts forward two effective ways of avoiding taboo, that is, using euphemism and having a good knowledge of the taboo culture. And this discussion would help English learners improve their ability of cross-cultural communication and achieve better communicational effects. For example, During the feudal times, people were not equal to the rulers and were suppressed by their superiors. The distinction between the upper and the lower classes was also reflected in the evaluation of the language used by them respectively. The words of upper class used were considered good and elegant while those used by the lower class were regarded as vulgar and indecent and should be avoided in the speech of ladies and gentlemen. In modern society, as a result of the development of science and technology, many natural phenomena are no longer mysterious. Human beings not only constantly improve their abilities to exploit the world where they are living through their great wisdom and knowledge, but also make efforts to explore the extraterrestrial world. Science has much more say in today’s society. Thereby, the superstitious elements in linguistic taboos decrease while those reflecting spiritual civilization increase.

In short, by comparison, we can find that both Chinese and English communication reflect people’s psychology for good will, for safety and fortune and pleasantness. The Chinese and English people restrict their words and deeds through taboos, trying to keep a harmonious relationship between human and nature, or between people and society. They are a reflection of people’s pursuit of freedom and equality.

The most important, the different way of family structure, family values and family education. Family structure is the big difference between east and west, traditional chinese, amony many other Asians, repect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them. Children repay their parents` sacrifices by being successful and supporting them in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. In contrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous burden in the English-speaking countries, where aging and family support are not honored highly. In some English-speaking countries are still extrmely family-oriented. They are dedicated to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an edcuation. In turn, the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who go away and leave the country for the economic reasons typically send large parts of their salary home to their parents and the rest of the family. Or in some Asia, any decisions or actions are done from family consideration, not individual desires. Peope`s behavior is judged on whether it

brings shame or pride to the family. The children are trained to rely on their families, to honor elderly people, and to fear foreigners. And many of them think that their actions in this life will influence their status in the next life.

The way of family edcation is also the different. We all know the family education is the elementary education for children. Many serious problems have appeared in our education system in recent years. Almost everyone has realized the importance of solving these problems and many people have presented a lot of valuable suggestions. There are many types of family education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features and is closely responsive to its culture. And American family education is the most famous one among them. There are great differences in the concepts of education, methods of education and results of education between East family education and West family education. In some English-speaking countries, parents’ aims are to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently. Based on this concept, most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born. They generally believe that children’s growth must rely on their own experiences, because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood. And the capacity comes from the training in the early age. The so-called training contains many aspects, such as work, temper will, patience, the spirit of hard work, etc. However, the most fundamental training is the ability of adapting to hard conditions. Through the process of work, children will form the labor sense, learn some work skills and form a habit of labor. Besides, children can learn how to overcome difficulties, temper their willpower, develop their talents and skills, rich their knowledge, and form a habit of hard work and thrifty by working in hard conditions. It is just in the unconsciously process that children will obtain the independent survivability and take the responsibilities for the society. Compared with some English-speaking countries, Chinese parents have a very different concept of children’s education. Some parents in China only care about whether the children have a promising future, a good job, a good life or not. Based on these expectations, the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future. Chinese parents would like to provide everything what they can for their children in the process of children’s growth. In short, they would like to sacrifice anything if their children can live better with their help. Therefore, in the process of children’s growth, the most important thing the parents concerning is to developing their children’s intellect, except for caring children’s daily life. In order to make their children have a good performance in study, become outstanding, or even become a famous person in the future, they would not let children do anything except studying. As for the children’s independence, civic awareness and their ability adapting to the

society in the future, they consider little or not at all. From these aspects we can find the obvious differences of family education between America and China.

When we faced with those difference between West and East, we should give some advice to solve these problems. According to the three big difference that pointed, we should find some way to deal with these problems.

We can study other languages and learn to expect in nonvwebal forms and other cultural aspects. We can train ourselves to meet intercultural encounters with more attention to situation details. We can use an investigative approach rather than stereotypes and preconceptions. We can gradually expose ourselves to differences so that they become less threatening. We can even learn to lower our tension level when needed to advoid triggering defensive reactions. The overall goal should be to achieve intercultural communication competence.

So the ideal solution to reduce the problems are to share knowledge with others in communication. This is why it is easiest to communicate with other members of the same group. This is why people so often gather together socially with others who are very much like them. Since intercultural communication is communication with members of different cultual groups, and therefore, because we do not share knowledge, assumptions, values, and forms of discourse with them, we must expect there to be problems of interpretation. We must look for these problems, anticipate where they will arise out of our differences, and then plan our aommunications to be as effective as possible.

However, we have to remember that, most of the time, the different ways that are the customs of dfferent cultures are neither right nor wrong. It is simply that different people do the same tings in different manners, even though we can not understand ,we should show the respect. I believe this is the best way to make our life become more comfortable and make the world more harmonious.

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。

暑假里，妈妈带我去了颐和园。我们从西门一进去，就看见了一大片湖水，天很热，没有一丝风，湖面泛着白光很平，犹如一面镜子。

在湖内侧沿着湖的边缘有一片芦苇，翠绿的芦苇丛中钻出几朵粉红色的荷花来，根根芦苇就像一个个威风凛凛的绿卫士在保护着这些娇艳的荷花。紧挨在芦苇丛的旁边，有一片盛开的荷花。花朵有深粉色的像少女的裙子，有浅粉色的，还有的白中透着黄。有的荷花已经完全开放了，有的开了一半，有的还是花骨朵像个害羞的小姑娘不肯露出脸来。一片一片的荷叶有大有小，像一个个大小不一的盘子，托着那些漂亮的荷花，荷叶下面有几条小鱼来乘凉。嘿!你看，那不远处飞来了一只雪白的鸟，它落在了荷叶上，这只鸟仿佛也是朵漂亮的荷花了。低头一看，有三只野鸭子在水中嬉戏。有两只大的，一只小的，我想它们是一家人吧，小鸭子很调皮，它趁爸爸妈妈不注意时偷偷钻进了水里，不一会，又从不远处探出了小脑袋。一不留神，又没影了，像在跟爸爸妈妈玩捉迷藏，害的爸妈到处找。

透过西堤这条弯曲的小路，可以看见另一片湖水，有几条游船穿梭在湖面上，还有一些小的游船，漂浮在湖面上。再往远看，隐约看见十七拱桥。最远处是万寿山，茂密的树丛中耸立着一座塔一样的房子，叫佛香阁。

我们坐在湖边的长椅上，看着这片美丽的景色，一阵微风吹过，湖水泛起鱼鳞似的微波一闪一闪的。如此的湖光山色，真是美不胜收，使人流连忘返。

你知道我最拿手的是什么吗？对！是剪纸，是中国最古老的传统呢！它的历史可追溯到公元6世纪。剪纸的内容很多，寓意很广，祥和的图案企望辟邪；娃娃、葫芦、莲花等图案象征多子多福；家禽家畜和瓜果鱼虫等因与农民生活息息相关，也是剪纸表现的重要内容。

我不仅能剪窗花、小动物，我还会剪很多呢！今天我想剪一个“囍”字，我先找来一张彩色的纸，把它折成长方形，画好线路，现在可以开始剪了，先横着剪一点，再竖着剪一点，再横着剪……就这样来来回回几次，最后停下来展开，一副喜庆的“囍”字就完成了。

听了我的讲述，你一定会很兴奋。如果你感兴趣，也来试试吧！

又是新的一日，我们一路前行，慕名来到了历史的瑰宝、世界的奇迹——秦兵马俑。

远观，气势雄伟，震撼万分，方圆百米;近观，精致生动，刻画精美，各具情态。有长胡的老兵，有厚实的壮汉，更有健壮的后生，形态各异，生动楚楚。再观他们动作，有手持长刀，满面严肃;有外披铠甲，头戴巾帻，神采奕奕;有手持弯弓，束发挽髻，腰系革带，精神凝重。

再仔细观察其中一位，身着战服，头上带冠，身高体宽，腰间佩戴一柄短剑，气势凌人，好一军吏武将，好一秦兵马俑!

静下来，眼前浮现了秦国当年的繁盛。百万秦军驰骋在沙场上，引得黄土飞扬，尘土四起，战车飞驰，阵阵马蹄踏破天边的云霄。一转身，弓弩手严阵以待，一声呵下，万箭齐发，密雨般落下，气势恢宏，震撼人心。

再看一柄青铜宝剑，剑身通黑，冷酷的外表。遥想当年，秦皇手持佩刀，霸气外露，虽过千年，但还是难隐它的锋芒。更另人惊讶的是它表面光亮如新，剑刃非常锋利，一剑可划透12层报纸。兵器的表面有一层含铬化合物的氧化层，具有防腐抗锈的良好性能。这些兵器虽藏在地下2000余年仍然无锈，光亮如新。

看着窗外的夕阳，无限感慨，继续前行吧，朋友!

冥冥中似乎有一种无形的力量在引导着我们在向一个方向靠近，又仿佛所有积累下的困惑、忧虑、不解在刹那间得以理解和融通，当我们在现今快节奏的生活工作中拼搏人生时，当我们时时惊诧于人世社会中种种有悖常理之现象时，一丝隐约的不安抑或是顾虑涌上心头，我们不得不反思：我们的国家，我们的这个社会以及这个社会的人们到底缺失了什么?到底是趋于一个什么样的价值取向?

通过学习传统文化课程——《弟子规》，顿悟间，忽然怅然若释，一切的不解和疑惑都好像有了方向和答案，“人生难得顿悟之时啊!”，通过对于传统文化的学习、体会、分享，我深入并充分感受到了中华民族五千年文明史凝结的精华，感受到了先师孔子总结的《弟子规》中其包罗万象的为人之道、处事哲学、行为准则之魅力，恍然明白：这才是做人之根本啊!

“弟子规，圣人训;首孝弟，次谨信;泛爱众，而亲仁;有余力，则学文。”多么经典、深刻而又质朴的内涵啊，纵观世界，哪个国家有我们这个民族积累了五千年的文明史，为后世留下了诸如《弟子规》这样的传统文化精髓瑰宝呢!但非常现实的客观问题是，一方面，我们有着宝贵的传统文化精神遗产，另一方面，国人却多数无从得知甚至是排斥误解，舍本逐末地在世俗名利场上竭泽而渔，一代又一代丢失着中华传统文化中的做人处事之根本，以致于社会上才有了如此之多的冷漠、无情、虚伪、失责甚至是道德沦丧，君不见，从“我爸是李刚”到“官员醉驾公车撞人事件”，从“复旦学子冷视黄山救命牺牲警察”到“云南中学宿舍再现学生自殴致亡事件”，我们几乎每天都可以在网络或新闻上看到一幕又一幕的令人惊叹之举，太多太多无法理喻、违背常规的事件一次次肆无忌惮的冲击着国人的道德神经，痛定思痛，从深层次剖析，这难道不正是一种道德行为准则和人生价值观的缺失吗!

“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”

幸得以有机会了解学习中华传统文化《弟子规》，探求到了人生最重要的精神支撑力量，才不枉对于生命旅程的价值，一份厚重的历史责任使命感顿时激情澎湃于心头，我们再也不能沉默了，身为华夏五千年文明继承的炎黄子孙，我们有责任，更有义务从自我做起，身体力行的学习和践行《弟子规》，同时带动身边更多的群体去逐步了解、学习、接受和行动起来。

“传承文明、继承祖训”，让我们慷慨立志：弘扬中华传统文化，践行优秀道德品行，共同开启一份“责任、使命、行动”的规划吧!

ghosts and goblins are more than halloween decorations or costumes for many americans who confessed they believe in the supernatural and returning from the grave。

thirty—seven percent of 2，100 adults questioned in a zogby interactive poll said they think ghosts are real， and 23 percent believe they have been visited by a deceased relative or friend。

even the 22 percent who said they have not had any ghostly experiences themselves know someone who has。

"more than a third of americans have this belief that ghosts do exist，" said a spokesman for zogby， adding that the findings were surprising。

nearly half of those questioned said if they could be a ghost， they would choose to come back as themselves。

but belief in the supernatural is not required to enjoy halloween。 eighty—seven percent of parents said their children would be dressing up for the holiday and 71 percent would be trick—or—treating。

but 41 percent of adults said they were not celebrating halloween， including 12 percent who cited religious reasons。

serial killers were deemed to be the scariest costumes， followed by the walking dead and zombies。
