Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%.

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 culture differences between the East and West.

As we know ,there are so many differences between culture of the East and West that I can not list all of their different aspects.I will focus on the differences of diet custom and teaching system.For your better understanding ,I will set examples of China and America.

It is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese.But people in America prefer to forks and knives.This different result is based on different food they are like .Americans choose to eat beefsteak,bread,and salad,while Chinese people choose noodles ,pancakes and rice.What is more,the custom of drinking tea in China and drinking coffee in America are stand out particularly.However,there is a trend that the food in both countries has been mixture.For example,the coffee and bread have introduced to China.The famous KFC is very popular at children.

The gap of teaching system between China and America is big.Chinese students always complain about their homework.Too much homework has limited the time to exercise and relax.They have to recite many things as to get a high mark.Homework comes the first to them.

In my opinion,the study in America is more interesting .Teachers pay attentions to training students skills in thinking in realastic life not to emphasis on the importances of memories.In a addition,the rate of going to school ,the salary of teaching ,and the job of gruduates are quite different,too.I should say that Chima government should make great efforts to improve its teaching syetem.I am also expect to be one day ,the West give more cheers to our country.

美利坚民族是个年轻、天真、自信、富有生气的民族。像个血气方刚的青年人，美国人生性好动，不甘寂寞。像个精力充沛的年轻人，美国人不停地干这忙那，似乎有永远也使不完的精力。城市里的人似乎永远赶着去什么地方;乡村里的人总是在农田、养鸡场、谷仓、奶牛场之间奔跑不停;办公室里的人有着堆成山似的文字工作(paper work)要做;公司里的秘书手脚不停地接电话、送文件。你在街上走逛，后面的人会大步流星地超赶到你的前面;你去餐馆就餐，难得寻觅到能与你说笑寒喧的伴侣。生活的节奏像一根上足了的发条一样，有条不紊地不停运转，构成了一幅繁忙、近乎于疯狂的现代人生活画面。

美国人的快节奏生活方式，除了止述美利坚民族好动不好静的秉性之外，很大程度上与他们社会的激烈竞争息息相关。美国是个市场经济高度发达的国家，“物竞天择，适者生存”的法则是它的运转规律，不进则退，不胜则败。为了生存和成功，美国人必须拼搏和奋斗，而拼搏与奋斗的一个重要方面是与他人抢时间、争速度，使自己始终处于依靠地位。由此可见，美国人的快节奏生活方式是被他们紧张激烈的社会竞争所“逼迫”出来的。因为这种“逼迫”无时不在、无处不有，美国人对快节奏生活方式也就习惯成自然了。

真话重于客气

在不少国家，人们互相交谈时，喜欢拣对方高兴听的知说，而不愿指出事实真相，以免伤了和气。这多半是出于客气(courtesy)和礼貌(politeness)。但在美国人的眼光里，这种心地善良的客气和礼貌不及真话重要。美国人的伦理价值观中有一条箴言：“诚实为上策” (Honesty is the best policy)。换句话说，在比较诚实、客气、礼貌、家族声誉孰轻孰重时，美国人把诚实放在首位。因此，在美国如果要说某人的坏话，最厉害的一句是“你不能相信他”(You cannot trust him)。

试举例说明。一个美国人驾车赶路，途中，他问一路人：“这里距离下一个市镇还有多远?”在一些把客气礼貌放在高于真实位置的国家里，路边这位先生也许马上想到赶路者已疲倦不堪，急欲抵达目的地，于是便客客气气地说，“顺着这条路走就到了”(Just down the road)。他以为这样回答能使赶路者心里宽慰从而更振足精神。然而，当这美国人开了好半天的车才到达要去的市镇时他会心情不畅，甚至气愤，觉得自己受骗了(feeling tricked)。在他看来，那位路边人明知路程很远，却存心欺骗他。同样的问题，美国人会怎样回答呢?美国人认为，假如他知道下一个市镇还有24英里的路程，回答说“Just down the road”是不诚实的表现。因此，尽管对那疲倦的寻路人极富同情，但他还是实话相告：“有好一段路呢，至少24英里”。(You have a long way to go ;at least 24miles more)。问路者听了也许会失望，但他明白了自己的处境，所以也不会产生误解。

交友

在美国这样一个地域流动(geographical mobility)和社会流动(social mobility)都很的国家里，交友自有它的特色。由于人们时常从一个地方迁徙到另一个地方，他们在交友时所建立的友谊可能一时密切而牢靠。但一旦彼此迁移他处时，他们的友谊可能不久即告消失，双方各自再找合适的新朋友。美国人不会因这种友谊的处理方式而感到“薄情”，更不会觉得自己受了对方的轻视，或者侮辱。大多数情况下，“劳燕分飞”的朋友可能保持通信、或者电话联系一两年，然后逐渐中断联系。有趣的是，一旦有机会再见面，不管间隔多久，昔日的朋友会“和好如初”，重温友情，甚至继续密切往来一段时间。

基于在这交友方式，外国客人去美国人家作客时，可以无拘无束、轻松自在地与他们闲谈、玩耍。他们可以与美国人共弃假期，甚至一起生活，而不必为保持终身友谊而担忧犯愁。就美国人而言，他们邀请外国客人去作客是出于一种友情和好客，他们乐意为这种短暂的友谊花费一定的时间和精力。

爱搞实验

美利坚民族性格中，爱搞实验是她的一个重要特点。从大的范围讲，美国本身就是一个最大的实验场。自哥伦布“发现”北美新大陆后，一批又一批移民涌入美国，根据他们各自理想蓝图，在美国进行不同类型的实验。清教徒要在那里建立一个“天府之国”，共和主义者想在那里建立一个“大同世界”，注重经济发展的人要把那块广阔富饶的土地变成“强盛之邦”。从小的范围看，一代又一代来自世界各地的开拓者，不断地利用一切机会进行各种各样的尝试。有的试图在政治上发迹，有的设法在经济上发财，也有的为了自己的理想之梦而孜孜以求。不管是大范围着眼，还是小范围角度，美国都被看作是“机遇之地”(land of opportunity)，因而可以在那里展开实验。

吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化

说起美国餐,你可能立刻想起热狗、汉堡包、薯条和炸鸡。但是,美国餐还包括沙拉、牛排、烤排骨、鲜虾、龙虾、新英格兰奶油蛤汤、炖鸡汤、奶油蘑菇汤等等。不仅如此,美国是个开放的国度,美国餐也是世界各国各地美食的总汇。

在美国餐里,我现在最喜欢吃的是沙拉。它的特点是生,生得颜色很鲜艳,红的是西红柿,绿的是生菜、菠菜、西兰花和芹菜,橘色的是胡萝卜,黄色的是烤面包块和奶酪,白色的是酱和酸奶酪。沙拉保持了原汁原味,各种菜香都可一口品尝到。有些沙拉也加上了烤鸡肉条或培根。沙拉的不同口味主要体现在酱上,有奶油味、意大利甜酸味、印尼千岛味、加州奶油味等等。我喜欢吃沙拉的另一个原因是它营养健康,维生素含量比炒的炸的菜更丰富。

我也爱吃牛排。好的牛排是棕色的,做得好的牛排可顺畅地一切到底。上面经常有很多香喷喷的肉汁。牛排一般半磅到一磅重。好餐馆里一块牛排差不多13美元,在快餐馆里,一块牛排才只有一两美元。

新英格兰奶油蛤汤是我最爱喝的汤。它美味可口,满齿留香。汤是乳白色的,有独特的浓浓的奶油味。除了奶油以外,汤里还包括蛤、贝、芹菜、洋葱和多种草药。这个汤已经在美国餐馆的菜谱里流行几百年了。

苹果派是传统饭后甜点。苹果派有格子的派壳,里面塞满了苹果酱果。甜点一般是为了哄小孩或帮助去除油腻味的。

我知道上面谈到的不能代表整个美国佳肴。但是,每当我品尝这些食品时,就仿佛感受到美国人对大自然的理解,对生活的态度。吃一口饭就是在吃一口美国文化。

Recently watching American TV Dramas has become more and more popular with youth in our country. There are various kinds of reasons. Generally speaking, TV Dramas are suitable for the psychology of youth. The network technology will be developed as well at the same time. What’s more, it can make our spoken English well. Every coin has two sides, but it shows off a humanism, and spreads bad influences such as violence, etc.

I think the positive influences are more important than negative ones.

First of all, a number of American TV Dramas express duty, family, freedom, justice and love concept. It’s useful to develop youth’s recessive education. Only in this way will TV Dramas play a positive part and make up for shortcomings in political education. Next, it can broaden our eyes and knowledge and make us know what is different from home and abroad. With this method, we can know the western society. We’ll be affected by different culture ambience and ideology concept. Under the background of the whole world, knowing the cultures of western countries can promote each country’s communications well. In addition, In this process, TV Dramas play a role of bridge. Then, it will develop independent personality. America uphold particular concept and suggest their educational productions. Youth is the most energetic generation, encourages people show off personality and dares to break the outmoded conventions. It’s the prerequisite of innovation.

Finally, TV Dramas also help you face reality and surmount ideality. Nowadays, some youth always depend on others, such as their parents or friends. They also have idealism and is extremely conceited or inferiority. They often don’t find themselves in society, due to the influences of life education environment.

By this we can make a conclusion. No matter how hard it will be, we should always be free and try our best to conquer the enemy, just like the actors in the film. Another thing we have to remember is the great development of China. TV Dramas’ productions suggest the culture and psychological state of the country from some kinds of degree. It can promote our country’s economic development. Watching TV Dramas is a way to follow fashion. Therefore, everyone should work hard to make our country stronger and stronger. Through American TV Dramas, we should strengthen our duty and proud of our country. Let’s work together!

最近看美国电视剧已经在我国青年中越来越受欢迎。有各种各样的原因。一般来说，电视剧合适青少年的心理。同时，网络技术将被发展起来。更重要的是，它可以使我们的英语口语变好。每个硬币都有两面，但它显示了一个人文主义，和传播的不良影响如暴力，等。

我认为积极的影响比消极的影响更重要。

首先，美国一些电视剧表达的责任，家庭，自由，正义和爱的概念。培养青年的隐性教育是有用的。只有这样，电视剧中扮演一个积极的角色，弥补政治教育的不足。其次，它能开阔我们的视野和知识使我们知道，国内外不同的是什么。用这种方法，我们可以了解西方社会。我们会受到不同的文化氛围和意识形态概念。在全世界的背景下，了解西方国家的文化可以促进各个国家的通讯。此外，在这一过程中，电视剧起到了桥梁作用。然后，它会培养独立人格。美国坚持特定的概念，建议他们的教育成果。青春是最充满活力的一代，鼓励人们展示个性，敢于打破陈规。这是创新的前提。

最后，电视剧也帮助你面对现实和超越的理想。如今，一些青少年总是依赖别人，如父母或朋友。他们也有理想主义和极其自负或自卑感。他们经常不能在社会中找到自己，因为生活教育环境的影响。

因此我们可以得出结论。不管有多难，我们都应该是自由的，尽我们最大的努力去征服敌人，就像电影中的演员。另一件我们需要记住的是，中国经济的巨大发展。电视剧作品从某种程度上表明了这个国家的文化和心理状态。它可以促进我国经济的发展。看电视剧是一路追随时尚。因此，每个人都应该努力使我们的国家越来越强大。通过美国的电视剧，我们应该加强我们的义务，让我们一起工作让我们的国家感到自豪。！

On the Losing of Traditional Culture

1. 现在许多传统文化正慢慢消失

2. 传统文化消失的原?因

3. 我的看法

On the Losing of Traditional Culture

It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly, traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new sciences are always highly efficient. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture. If the fund used to protect the ancient culture was instead delivered to the poor, it will be helpful to the improvement of their living standard. Thirdly, modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot. For instance, college students always collect their thesis materials by surfing the Internet instead of borrowing books from the library.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldn’t keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the end.

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.

Coming all the way up and down in five thousand, the Chinese travel-stained, feet tread is a profound cultural background. But today, a reference to the Chinese traditional etiquette, most people there is no clear concept, and even a this kind of traditional etiquette humanization is out of date. As a result, Chinas etiquette culture is suffering from unprecedented in the past with disdain.

However, the Chinese nation traditional etiquette culture is the practice of the Chinese people for thousands of years to deal with interpersonal relationship, between people conduct guidelines.

Yang, with his xueyou swim juice for the correct answer to go to the teachers house to consult. When the dead of winter, cold, came to ride home, comes at a time when Mr Was sitting by the roadside meditation resting to restore energy, Yang two people dare not to disturb the teacher, respectfully stand outside the door, waiting for Mr Wake up and come here for a long time, wake up, cheng found standing in the wind and snow Yang from the window and saw her again in the snow. At the foot of snow has been after more than a foot. Since then, "ChengMenLiXue" historic 美谈 story is told.

Etiquette is self-critical, in is a kind of specification, is showed to the respect of others. The ancients cloud "not learn ritual, without" the embodiment of the civilization etiquette is not only a man quality, breeding, also is personal morals and embodiment of social ethics.

Over the past century, due to various reasons, some good ethics have been varying degrees of damage. People now have more abundant than in the past to filial piety economic foundation, the heart is gone, his father not overwhelmed, but powerful unintentionally.

Chinese traditional etiquette, should be reflect the life style of spiritual value, the record it can make our formalization.

Traditional etiquette is spread for thousands of years of Chinese blood, if clogged arteries, China can only be called is a modern country, and not as China. Extensive and profound Chinese traditional etiquette culture, it is enough to make Chinese and overseas people attract RongYao and proud, it is important the cohesion of the Chinese nation, without it, people will get lost; Without it, China was only an empty shell.

Throughout ancient and modern development of China and other countries, there is no loss of denying yourself a nation traditional etiquette, there is no one would think that their own excellent traditional etiquette is outdated, harmful. And spread the Chinese traditional etiquette culture. Is each Chinese childrens responsibility, only in this way, we can clear conscience to loudly say: "I am a Chinese!"

上下五千年，中国一路风尘仆仆走来，脚下踏的是深厚的文化底蕴。但在今天，一提及中国传统礼仪，大多数人并没有什么清晰概念，甚至则一位这种传统礼仪人化是过时的东西。因此，中国礼仪文化正在遭受着史无前例的以往与不屑。

然而，中华民族传统礼仪文化是中国人民几千年来处理人际关系的实践结晶，是人与人之间行为规范的准则。

杨时与他的学友游酢为求的正确答案一起去老师家请教。时值隆冬，天寒地冻，来到程家时，适逢先生坐在路旁打坐养神，杨时二人不敢惊动老师，就恭恭敬敬立在门外，等候先生醒来，过来良久，程一觉醒来，从窗口发现侍立在风雪中的杨时，只见她遍身披雪。脚下雪已有一尺多后了。此后，“程门立雪”的故事就成了尊师重道的千古美谈。

礼仪是律己，进人是一种规范，是表现了对他人的尊重。古人云“不学礼，无以立”文明礼仪不仅是个人素质、教养的体现，也是个人道德和社会公德的体现。

东汉黄香仅仅九岁，就懂得尊老爱幼，孝顺父母。在冬天严寒之时，就用自己的身体将父母的被子温暖后，再请父母安寝;在夏日炎热之际，则用扇子给父母扇凉驱蚊，以侍奉父母安寝。黄香温席是在中国传统孝之礼仪，孝顺父母，从小事做起。

近百年来，由于种种原因，一些优秀的伦理道德遭到不同程度的破坏。如今的人们已经有了较之过去更为雄厚的经济基础来孝敬老人，心已经没了，孝敬父母不是有心无力，而是有力无心。

唐朝贞观年间，西城回纶国是大唐的藩国，一次，回纶国为了表示对大唐的友好，派使者带一批珍宝见唐王，其中最珍贵的是白天鹅。途中，白天鹅不谨飞走，使者只拔下几根鹅毛，却没能抓住白天鹅，使者在担心害怕之余吧鹅毛献给了唐太宗，唐代宗并没有怪罪他，反而觉得他忠诚老实，不辱使命，从此，“千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”的故事干为流传开来。

中国传统礼仪，应是体现精神价值的生活方式，传录它可以使我们的礼仪化发扬光大。

传统礼仪毕竟是中国传续了几千年的血脉，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。中国传统礼仪文化博大精深，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，中国便只剩下一个空壳。

纵观古今中外各国发展，世上没有一个民族失否定自身传统礼仪的，没有任何一个民族会认为自己的优秀的传统礼仪是过时的，有害的。而传来中国传统礼仪文化。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!”

Going abroad for Studies

The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked the immediate objection of my family： Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at relatively low cost? My answer is： in addition to knowledge， I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.

First， experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home， the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years， for example， my English will be as perfect as native speakers.

Second， living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective of the world. On a university campus， foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and inevitably sees my own country in a new light.

Third， overseas experience， frustrating and painful as it may be， is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty——difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet， the difficulty， coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock， is a rewarding experience for ones future life and development of personality.

Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful， the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained， but the experience desirable in ones personal life.

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.
