很久以前，我就向往她，在梦里，我的心常漂洋过海来到那遥远的国度——美国。他的全名美利坚合众国，是由五十个州和一个联邦直辖特区组成的联邦共和制国家，东濒大西洋，西临太平洋，北靠加拿大，南接墨西哥，是一个多文化、多种族的国家。我们这次旅行便是其中的加利福尼亚州，加利福尼亚州位于美国西部，是美国经济最发达、人口最多的州。

在进入机场的一瞬间，我突然意识到，我马上要走了，要离开我生活了十二年的国家了，经过漫长的安检，终于来到了候机大厅，登机口前的人群像一条长龙，以极慢的速度向前蔓延着，我的心情非常激动，这是我第一次坐飞机，按捺不住兴奋急切的心情，我几乎飞着进了飞机。坐在座椅上，系好安全带，我甚至能依稀听见自己的心跳，不一会儿，飞机两旁的景物渐渐移动起来，接着，它们迅速地朝后方跑去。机翼微微向下翻转，飞机便像轻盈的小鸟一般腾空而起。景物渐渐变小，直到洁白的云层挡住了朦胧的视野。

经过十三个小时的漫长征程，汪洋不见了，取而代之的是大面积的陆地，“噔”地一下，飞机着陆了，随着乘务员富有磁性的声音，走过长长的通道，我踏上了美国的土地。

我的寄宿家庭女主人叫安，是一位善良而富有爱心的人，她有一头金黄色的头发，一双蓝色的眼睛，经常穿着休闲装，和蔼慈祥，安有四个孩子，其中两个还不到十岁，分别是艾丽和玛丽。安家的房子并不大，是用木材筑成的，冬暖夏凉，前院的一侧有一排挺拔的松树，虽然没有修葺，但十分整齐，绿茵茵的草地覆盖了前院，一只胖嘟嘟的小猫趴在草坪上打盹。房子后院与前院截然不同，全无小草的绿，而是水的蓝，清澈的水波在泳池里荡漾开来。“微风拂细柳，皎月映清泉”，用这句话形容后院再恰当不过了。每当晚饭过后，我便与艾丽和玛丽在泳池里游泳、玩水上排球。起先，在他们凌厉的攻势下，我屡屡失意，后来，我逐渐掌握了技巧，就是在拍球前一秒钟跳起来，这样便会得心应手，但是，后来他们使诈利用假动作，令我眼花缭乱，打的我措手不及。

在美国的这段日子里，我们通常吃西餐，安为我们做了两次中餐，她蒸米饭时总爱放类似于胡椒的调味品，安做的糖醋里脊味道鲜美，带有独特的异国风情，真是大饱口福。美国人的厨房极少见到油烟，他们通常烘烤或蒸煮食物。吃西餐也是很讲究的，当嘴里嚼着食物时，不要说话或喝水。用餐结束要把刀叉交插放在盘中……，刚开始很不习惯，但入乡随俗，尊重他们的饮食习惯。东西方的饮食习惯是截然不同的，东方的早餐一般喝粥，讲究养生，西方则有些“肆无忌惮”早餐很随意。东方人认为午饭是正餐，西方人则认为晚饭是正餐。而且，东方吃素食多，西方人以肉食为主。

每天最惬意得事情就是洗澡了，洗澡可以脱去烦恼，洗去疲惫，但是，当你裹着浴巾从热哄哄的浴室里出来时，千万别忘了，用毛巾把地板擦干净，因为美国人的卫生间是没有地漏的。

我们参观的第一个景点是环球影城，环球影城座落在洛杉矶的好莱坞，其代表建筑是门前银白色的地球。走进影城，我们游览的第一个项目是“未来水世界”，讲述的是一群水手运用智慧战胜海盗取得胜利的故事，场面十分壮观，据说，单是这一个摄影棚，就拍出了一部旷世之作，不能不感叹当今科技的发达啊!接着，我们乘坐游览车来到了由数百个摄影棚连成的城镇区。立刻让我感到耳目一新，高楼大厦，鳞次栉比，排列着各种风格的建筑物，建筑界的瑰宝济济一堂，仿佛是一座浓缩的世界，使人心旷神怡。游览结束后，我回过头想跟它说再见时，却惊讶地呆住了，在每个建筑物后，是一个个冰冷的铁架，而那些所谓的建筑物，都只是一层布，真是逼真至极，足以以假乱真了。

在惊讶之余，我们进了一个山洞，不时传来恐龙的嚎叫声，看见人类的头骨，整个山洞弥漫着恐怖的气息。突然，石壁上出现了许多恐龙，他们悠闲自在地生活着，场面温馨，可好景不长，霸王龙来了，安逸的生活别打破了，在霸王龙的撕扯下，游览车剧烈地摇晃起来，好像散架似得。最后，游览车拖着“残肢”冲出了山洞。

迪士尼乐园是我从小向往的地方。踏进大门，映入眼帘的是卡通人物，聪明的米奇，漂亮的米尼，憨厚的高飞，可爱的唐纳德，忠诚的布鲁托……。

一座高高的假山，里面是水的世界，这就是激流勇进了，我们搭上一条船，渐渐朝山顶驶去，山洞里是无边的黑暗，只有“嗒嗒”的闹钟声才知道时间在流逝。突然，措不及防地“轰”一下，船猛然俯冲了下去，淹没在水流中的尖叫声随着船一起冲下了假山……。

此外，雪山车也是十分刺激的，一条长长的隧道里有漫天的繁星，看起来像美丽的宇宙，我们坐在车中观赏美景，正当我陶醉在如花的宇宙中时，车子像离弦的箭一般冲了出去。此时，隧道不再是美丽的宇宙，而成了一个令人毛骨悚然的黑洞，车依旧飞奔着，但轨道却翻转了九十度，渐渐向下俯冲，直到前方出现了一丝亮光，“咚”地一声，我们被重重地抛出了隧道。

游完迪士尼我们来到了丹麦城，这里是当初殖民统治时期，丹麦人的领地，因时代保留了丹麦的生活方式和建筑风格而得名。这里高大的风车随处可见，使我不禁浮想联翩，广褒的草原上有白色的野花点缀，不时传来牧人的号角，牛羊在静静地吃草，“吱呀”转的风车旁，河水潺潺地流着……。丹麦城一行使我看到与美式不同的欧式建筑风格，我不禁感慨美国果然是一个多文化、多种族的国家啊!

最后一站我们来到了久负盛名的斯坦福大学，斯坦福大学是世界一流的学府，当初是为那些因贫困而上不起学的学生创办的。我很早就想一睹它的风光，今天终于如愿以偿了。黄色拱形大门掩映在万花丛中，微风拂面带来幽幽花香沁人心脾。斯坦福大学给人以古朴典雅，置身其中，连风中也带有幽幽古韵。参观完斯坦福后，我对他有了更深的了解。东西方文化的差异，使东西方的学府也各有不同，比如：斯坦福和清华大学，斯坦福的建筑以欧美风格为主，清华则是中西结合;斯坦福的教育是开发潜能，清华在这方面尚有欠缺;斯坦福的绿化多草与花，清华则是多树木

这次激情的美国之旅，不仅使我开阔了眼界，学到了知识，更使我了解了东西方文化的差异，真是一次难忘的旅行啊!

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.

Visitors to the United States are often surprised to learn the great distance from the east coast to the west coast. The continental United States stretches 4,500 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. It borders Canada on the North,and reaches south to Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. A fast train,travelling 96 kilometers an hour, takes more than 48 hours to cross the country. A jet plane crosses the continental United States from east to west in about five hours.

Including the states of Alaska and Hawaii,which are not seen in this map of the continental United States, the country covers an area of 9,363,123 square kilometers. Of the fifty states of the country Alaska is the largest in area,and Hawaii is the newest. The former borders on northwestern Canada: the latter lies in the Pacific.

Beijing is our capital city which is famous for its long history. Now we have a one-day tour plan for you.

北京是我们的首都，以悠久的历史而闻名。现在我们为你制定了一天的旅游计划。

In the morning, you can start the day at the Great Wall. Its one of the greatest wonders in the world. Its so magnificent that you cant go to Beijing without visiting the Great Wall. At noon, you can go to the Summer Palace. There are so many interesting sites, such as Wanshou Mountain, Kunming Lake, Suzhou Street, and some other ancient palaces. So you can climb Wanshou Mountain first. The view on the top is so wonderful. Next, you can go boating on Kunming Lake, and then, walk on Suzhou Street to enjoy the life of regions south of the Yangtze River. In the afternoon, you can go to have a long walk on Tiananman Square, in order to see the city well, and then you can visit the Palace Museum. There you can see different objects of different periods. They are of great value. In the evening, the Front Gate Walking Street is a good place to go where you can buy various kinds of souvenirs and clothes. Most buildings there have the traditional Chinese styles. Maybe you can know some history of ancient Beijing.

早晨你可以从长城开始新的一天。它是世界上最伟大的奇观之一。太壮观了，壮观到去北京不能不去参观长城。中午，你可以去颐和园。有那么多名胜古迹，如万寿山，昆明湖，苏州街，以及其他的一些古老宫殿。你可以先爬万寿山。山顶的景色是很美丽的。之后你可以去昆明湖划船，然后，走在苏州街来享受长江以南地区的生活。下午，你可以去天安门广场上散步，为了更好的看清楚这个城市，接下来你可以参观故宫博物馆。在那里你可以看到不同时期不同的物体。他们是很有价值的。晚上，前门步行街是一个很好的地方，在那里可以买到各种纪念品和衣服。那里的大多数建筑物都是中国传统风格。也许你可以了解到一些古老的北京城的历史。

Wish you a nice trip.

祝你旅途愉快。

I see a show about painting. An exhibition at a private art gallery is a way of introducing a new artist to the public .

The idea is to stage an event that will create interest in the artist and stimulate sales of his or her work. Exhibitions of painting , sculpture, and photography at public museums and galleries are different from private showings.

The works exhibited at public museums are by established, well-known artists. Many exhibitions include works from the museum’s permanent collection—that is, works owned by the museum.

To Live in an American Family

提纲

1. 留美学生与当地家庭生活在一起既有优点也有不足。

2. 不足之处。

3. 与当地家庭生活在一起的优点远超过其不足。

for the student who wants to improve his english quickly and learn about american customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an american family. there may be some disadvantages in this arrangement; however, i believe there are far more advantages.

first of all, the disadvantages may include lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. they will lose the chance of living on their own. another drawback to living in an american home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. for eample, the parents may want to decide who his friends should be and where he should go during his leisure time.

even though there may be some disadvantages in living with an american family, the advantage far overweighs them. by taking part in a home-stay program, the student has an ecellent opportunity to learn about american customs. also, he will learn about many other aspects about american way of life, such as the way schools are run in the u nited states. and the family will no doubt make cerlain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.

旅游中的不文明行为

随着人们生活水平的逐步提高，在中秋节、国庆节等假期中，越来越多的人选择出行旅游。一些富有人文历史、风景优美的景点，成为了大众的首选。

但是随着旅游人数不断增加，旅游中的不文明行为也不断增多。游客们随意攀爬、拍照，在景点随意涂画、刻、践踏草坪、损坏植被，不讲卫生，垃圾随处丢弃。旅游中的不文明现象，正持续损害着中国游客的形象。

我认为文明旅游可以注重以下一些方面：首先，旅游者要提高自身文化素质，做到文明出行，不做一些破坏文化的行为，并且及时提醒他人的不文明行为。第二，导游、景点管理处要对旅客不文明的行为加以提醒劝阻。第三，媒体应加大曝光度，使人们逐渐意识到不文明旅行的严重性。最后政府要根据旅客的行为实施一定的惩罚措施，完善相关法律法规。我相信这些问题都会逐步解决，一个美丽的明天在等着我们。

Uncivilized behavior in Tourism

With the gradual improvement of peoples living standards, more and more people choose to travel during the holidays. Many people choose the humanities history and scenic spots to travel.

But with the increasing number of tourists, the uncivilized behavior of tourism is

increasing. Visitors free climbing, take pictures, in spots random graffiti, lettering, damage to vegetation, dont speak hygiene, waste discarded everywhere. Uncivilized phenomenon in tourism, is continuing to damage the image of Chinese tourists.

I believe that the cultural tourism can focus on the following aspects: first, tourists should improve cultural quality, do civilized travel, dont do some damage to the culture, and timely reminder of the uncivilized behavior of others. Second, the tourist guide and the scenic spot management office should discourage the uncivilized behavior of tourists. Third, the media should increase the degree of exposure, so that people gradually realized the seriousness of the

uncivilized travel. Finally, the government should implement some punitive measures according to the behavior of the passengers, improve the relevant laws and regulations. I believe that these problems will be solved step by step, and a beautiful tomorrow is waiting for us.

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magicial” ice water on a glacier, which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

Shanghai rain cats and dogs, I was very happy, because of the wonderful cruise trip!

The swimming pool is a favorite of my good friends. Sailing day afternoon, we swim in the swimming pool. Although the weather is very hot, but jumped into the swimming pool, cool like drinking ice pop! Everyone made a diving game, than who can pick up first to the bottom of the goggles. Everyone take a big breath, spoiling for sink to the bottom, scrambling to get glasses. Then, we have rather than swimming. At first, everyone chants: "123!" Then quickly jumped into the water, with one to swim up, everyone is afraid of his name into the final, struggling to move forward. Tired, we lie in the surf pool again. Surf pool rolled splash of white, like spring warm. Sometimes, sit at the outlet, the water pouring into your back, just like massage.

Unconsciously hungry, so we went to the cafeteria. Cafeteria with all sorts of delicious desserts and fruits. A waiter aunt taught we make tea with milk. We drank his milk tea, good sweet sweet! The most interesting is a good friend to eat a dish and a plate of French fries, just like a big stomach king!

上海下起了倾盆大雨，我却非常高兴，因为美妙的邮轮旅行开始啦!

游泳池是我和好朋友们的最爱。航海日的下午，我们在游泳池里戏水。天气虽然很热，但是跳进游泳池里，凉爽得就像喝了冰汽水!大家做起了潜水游戏，比比谁先能捡到水底的泳镜。每个人都深吸一大口气，憋足了劲往水底沉，争先恐后地去抢眼镜。接着，我们又比起了游泳。刚开始，大家齐声喊：“123!”然后都飞快地跳进水里，你追我赶地游了起来，每个人都生怕自己变成最后一名，奋力地往前游。游累了，我们又躺进了冲浪池。冲浪池里翻滚着白色的水花，就像温泉一样暖和。有时，坐在出水口，喷涌而出的水流打到你的背上，就跟按摩一样舒服。

不知不觉游饿了，于是大家来到了自助餐厅。自助餐厅里摆着各种各样美味的甜点和水果。一位服务员阿姨教了我们制作奶茶。我们喝着自己做的奶茶，好甜好甜!最好玩的是有个好朋友吃了一盘又一盘的薯条，就像个大胃王!

Modes of Travelling

College students, curious and energetic, love traveling; summer and winter vacations provide them with golden opportunities to travel. There are two major modes of travellingtraveling by oneself or traveling in a group organized by travel agencies.

Those two patterns offer different travel experiences, with respective advantages and disadvantages. For the solitary traveler, the greatest advantage is freedom. He is perfectly free to choose his itinerary and plan his schedules, thus he can visit whatever his curiosity leads him to and contemplate over a historical site or a cultural relic for as long as he desires. The trouble is he cannot share his perceptions and excitement with any partners. Moreover, it is time-consuming and difficult to buy train tickets and look for accommodations and in emergency situations an individual traveler is largely helpless. Those problems are non-existent for group travelers because travel agencies take care of everything. Within a group, people who used to be strangers soon become friends. However, the fixed itineraries and tight schedule prevent travelers from satiating their individual curiosities. In addition, tourists are often subjected to forced shopping by tour guides who are more concerned with securing commissions than providing services.

After a brief reunion with our American aunt, we soon embarked on a trip to the east of the United States. Our first stop was New York.

On July 21, we got up at 6:30 am and after more than half an hours drive, we came to Wall Street. There was a bull in the street, and I took many photos with my parents. After that, we went to the Empire State Building and passed through security. Then, lets go through the winding corridor to the elevator, and soon, a delicate elevator will we carry on the 80 layer, through the 80th floor of pictures and words, I understand the process of the Empire State Building construction in the 1830 s, the U.S. government in 400 days time built the 102th floor of the Empire State Building, is a miracle. Were on the 86th floor, and the 86th floor is a sightseeing layer that can get a full view of New York City. Then we went to the met and saw the Egyptian temple, the dunhuang murals, the longyan grottoes and so on

Then we followed the guide to the intrepid America and saw the American space agency NASAs space shuttle.

Finally, we went to times square, but I didnt buy anything I liked.

Early this morning, we took a flight to San Francisco. One of the things that impressed me most was the visit to the Intel museum.

Had no sooner arrived at the museum of strong science and breathed, threshold before those incredible illusion, now all become a reality in my eyes, most especially, I saw "anatomy" internal computer, reminds people of multifarious, the winding river maze.

The computer that we normally see is always so convenient, which brings people many benefits, but who thought how complicated it is inside? Today I finally saw the hard-won computer. The main thing in the computer is the chip, which looks like a labyrinth with no end. Its hard to make a chip.

First, cut the chip plate at the bottom of the well, but at the bottom of the plate, but have to hard gold wire to build by laying bricks or stones becomes, in the process of making chips, making people have to keep the body clean, because in the process of production, the chip can not be stained with a trace of dust inside. Otherwise, the previous efforts can be abandoned! The whole process must be careful, and every part needs to be carefully selected and meticulous. It is conceivable that a computer is made up of many "meticulous".

Its hard to make a computer, but the worlds elite have honed it in this difficult situation. As long as you work hard, you can create your own life and the world. Today I am proud of mankind, tomorrow man is proud of me.

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".

Today were going to visit Stanford university, a very old university, and its recognized as one of the worlds most distinguished universities.

Our bus stopped at Stanford university, and I saw an antique building. All the way forward, the building that was built of stone, though made of stone, was built very fine, with different patterns engraved on it. It was then that I was attracted by a church building, whose metope was a beautiful picture of more than 20,000 pieces of Mosaic, which is the memorial church of Stanford university. At Stanford, there is no lack of sophistication, and even the flowers and plants are so finely manicured that, on a large lawn, the flowers and plants are pruned into a big Stanford university logo.

At Stanford, one hour at a time, we had to be reluctant to say goodbye to her. This famous university has given me so much hope that I can go to this university when I grow up.
