There was a kindly nobleman whose wife had died of an illness leaving the nobleman and his three daughters in despair. After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasants cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning.When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries, money and property given to the new husbands family.One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the noblemans house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters stockings. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings.The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life.Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fireplace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes.

关于圣诞节在火炉边悬挂圣诞袜也有一个有趣的传说。很久很久以前有一个心地善良的贵族，他的妻子因病去逝，抛下他和他的三个女儿。这个贵族尝试了不少发明，都失败了，但也因此耗尽了钱财，所以他们不得不搬到一家农舍里生活，他的女儿们也只得亲自烧煮、缝纫和打扫。

一晃几年过去，女儿们陆续到了出嫁的年龄，父亲却变得更加沮丧，因为他没钱给女儿们买嫁妆。

一天晚上，女儿们洗完衣服后将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣人Nicholas知道了她们父亲的境况后，就在那天晚上，来到她们的家门前。他从窗口看到一家人都已睡着了，同时也注意到了女孩们的长统袜。随即，他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金从烟囱上一个个投下去，刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。

第二天早上，女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子，足够供她们买嫁妆了。这个贵族也因此能亲眼看到他的女儿们结婚，从此便过上了幸福快乐的生活。  后来，世界各地的孩子们都继承了悬挂圣诞袜的传统。有些国家的孩子则有其它类似的风俗，如在法国，孩子们将鞋子放在壁炉旁。

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.

the ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of thomas jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life.

the american revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern england became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern europe at the end of the eighteenth century. it may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the atlantic ocean, but only in the north american colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation.

here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. they included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty.

with the american nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.

美国有源源不断的新事物出现，是基于美国人具有的创新能力。培养创新能力则是从儿童开始。要做到这一点，不需要高深的技巧，只需把握一条：尊重儿童。比尔·盖茨和他的同学们中学时玩的“吃纸”的电脑，是由社区家长捐赠的。比尔·盖茨的第一个公司也只是由两个毛头小伙建立的公司。别人愿意和他打交道，固然有自己商业的需要，但更在于他们尊重有创造能力的人，而不会太注意对方的年龄大小。

美国文化的一个重要特点就是对个性的尊重。他们尊重儿童的权利，平等地对待儿童，其中就包含对儿童兴趣的尊重。了解了美国的文化，就不会对乔布斯在车库创业而又获得风险资金的支持感到惊讶，也不会对家长们“放任”“盖茨们”玩自编的电脑游戏感到不解了。

The Spring Festival is our Chinese nation from ancient to modern times, the

most cautious Chinese traditional festival, during the Spring Festival time,

always waiting for the one family reunion together, talking about the years

harvest, for the New Year filled the bright vision. The children enjoy the

tightened and joyful holidays.

Watch the Spring Festival is coming, this years mother had said but

antithetical couplet, let me down, a few family, it is not a "project" ah, ha

ha. Two days before the Spring Festival, I began to get busy, small

"calligrapher" to start the project, through my huihaopomo, less than half of

the martial arts, home with the red antithetical couplet, "by mountains and

rivers show signs, ushered in the" spring "; drop thousands of monforts million

full of Spring Festival couplets, mom repeatedly praise not shut up.

Thirty in the morning, I and mom posted antithetical couplet window

Ronaldo, look at my work on the door, red, a new sub population; we took the

mother to the hometown of antithetical couplet posted on my hung Wen, see the

two father, repeatedly said good, a grandfather of the past grace. At that time

I grandfather calligraphy is quite a New Year couplets, all relatives, the house

is filled with grandpa wrote. The subsequent to the lady home, home to the lady

on the wall, see my work has been useless, I really felt flattered.

This year the Spring Festival, two aunt aunt, our three family members

accompany lady together; of the Spring Festival last year, we raised the glass,

not a firecracker loud, not a fireworks shine, but in the beautiful blessing of

new years day, the night is so calm and peaceful. 20---- I had a special spring

Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the

world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been

considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has

had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China

through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of

this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.

Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture.

Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.

Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that

continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes

from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The

Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius). These

books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five

Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts

that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its

culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United

States and Europe.

Today, we live in the modern world, most things we do can use the machine. The technology brings so many convenience to us, it facilitates our life. As we are facing the new products all the time, the traditional things are fading away. Take the paper-cut for example. When I was very small, paper-cut was so popular in my grandma’s generation, most women could cut all kinds of interesting shapes.

While today when I went back to my hometown, I found that most of them had stopped cutting papers, because they could buy them at the very low price.

What’s more, the young people don’t learn such art, for the parents think it is not necessary for their children to learn the old-fashion thing. The tradition should not be abandoned, it is the reflection of our culture. Even facing the challenge, we need to inherit the tradition.

今天,我们生活在摩登时代,我们可以使用机器做大部分的事情。科技给我们带来了很多方便,它便利了我们的生活。我们每天都面对着新产品,传统的东西正在慢慢消失。以剪纸为例。在我很小的时候,在我祖母的那一代，剪纸很受欢迎,大多数女性可以剪出各种有趣的形状。现在当我回到家乡时,我发现他们中的大多数已经停止剪纸,因为他们可以以很低的价格购买。更重要的是,年轻人不了解这种艺术, 以为父母认为他们的孩子没有必要去学习这种不时髦的东西。传统不应该被放弃,这是我们文化的反映。甚至面临挑战,我们仍然需要继承传统。

Dear mom and dad:

A warm family , a fantastic surroundings are the best gift which you have given me since I was born. I don’t know how to express my appreciati The topic like (转载于:www.cSSyq.co m 书 业 网)“what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.

The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in

university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.

On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.

Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!

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

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

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

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

Let s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that s where you start. That s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.

american culture, in a sense, is an extension of european culture, because the language of the americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from europe. on the other hand, american culture with europe, because european immigrants in the north american continent to drive away after taking the indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. therefore, in the united states talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of europe and the united states, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations in all aspects.

of tolerance the united states is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. people emigrated to the united states, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. as miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. in time, the cultural practices of the americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. at this point, the u.s. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.

from a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. from the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. from the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. in a nutshell, in the united states, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument. for example, jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and christians are to their christmas and easter. for example, again, the united states by chinese in chinatown chinese live and work; the same token, the vietnamese immigrants in their "little saigon" according to vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

americans of tolerance, in addition to the above united states is a country that factors other than immigration, and the frequent movement of the americans. as everyone knows, the history of the united states in the development of an important part of her history of the development of the western region. at that time, the united states blazers or hiking, horseback or car, from east to west, from north to south, wherever there are opportunities, there jiuwang resettlement. the frequent migration and continuous replacement of the habitat so that people will always be in the "mobile", and the occasional different facing the phenomenon of tolerance and more easily accepted. moreover, the current migration also can help people expand the field of vision, known more widely know, the different practices with sympathy, understanding, and gradually formed diversity rather than uniformity of the openness of the concept.

as the americans tolerant of stronger, so very few americans to impose its will on other people, with china confucius "by the others do not want to, not to impose on" the very guxun like. for example, a husband may be a republican, but he must not support the democratic party forced his wife to change political stance. similarly, perhaps the mother is a catholic, but she must not have forced her into a muslim convert son to change religion. in their daily lives and habits of business in normal times, this spirit of tolerance is a common occurrence, commonplace.

民俗文化(Folk Cultures)

A folk culture is a small isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

The cartoon given above tells us that there are two persons who are arguing with each other about the importance of book Knowledge and experience. In fact, knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include reading books, classroom activities and practice.

The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in our daily life. First of all, we can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. Second, we can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Last but not least, we can shuttle between the past and the future by reading books. In this way, we wont repeat the mistakes of others.

Practice, on the other hand, offers us more useful knowledge. In fact, as we all know failure is the mother of success. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful.

【翻译】尽管我们学了几年英语，对英语国家也有一些了解，但是，仍然有很多人无法区分英格兰，不列颠和英国。英国是大不列颠和北爱尔兰联合王国的简称，通常也叫英 国。英国由四部分组成，即英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士和北爱尔兰。伦敦是英国的首都。英国是一个君主立宪制国家，国家的首脑是国王或女王。英国是由国王或女王 及其管辖的政府统治的。

据钱江晚报的消息说，2月17日7点,张艺谋执导的电影《长城》，终于在北美上映了。首日票房五百九十万美元(折合人民币约四千零四十九万)，是中国内地首日票房一点二四亿人民币的三分之一，紧随《乐高蝙蝠侠》、《五十度黑》，位列第三。而根据预测，在全美三千三百多家影院大规模上映的《长城》，首周末四天有望拿下近两千万美元。不少媒体认为，在视觉和机构上，这《长城》借鉴了《权力的游戏》和《星河战队》等好莱坞的一些核心元素，找来好莱坞水准的特效团队，加上马特·达蒙等有号召力的影星加盟，走的是“标准大片范儿”的路线。然而，故事本身却收到各种花式吐槽。

即便如此，在鉴于电影在国内的票房不如预期，所以此次在北美的票房无疑是重中之重。但影评惨不忍睹，社交媒体上的吐槽随处可见，未来票房收入前景黯淡。有这么一篇题为《为什么中国和好莱坞无法交融》中有几句话还是有几分道理的，如果说好莱坞希望与中国电影人合作的话，那就应该放弃不伦不类的合拍片。更好的做法，是在中国建立一家国际制片公司来培养年轻的中国电影人和编剧，并帮助他们创作出可以吸引中国观众的影片。这才是中国以及好莱坞制作卖座影片的有效的诀窍。

但是，在许多国内媒体看来，该片北美票房似乎是一个差强人意的成绩。该片启用了好莱坞巨星马克·达蒙，张艺谋在过去有十七部电影在北美上映，也是为美国观众所熟知的华人导演。特效方面启用世界顶尖的特效公司工业光魔、维塔工作室。总之，在国内媒体看来，这应该是一部拿去和《魔兽》这样的顶级好莱坞魔幻片大制作比较的影片。实际上对于北美观众来说，这首先是一部中美合拍片，即使有了呆萌的加盟，它更合理的比较对象，依然应该是《英雄》，而不是《魔兽》。将《长城》票房与好莱坞顶级魔幻大制作比较，对它也并不公平。

单单从文化上有不适应性，剧中守城士兵的服装过于夸张，产生一种可笑而不严肃的观感。诸如像“片子无聊”、“痛苦地令人感到毫无启发”、“漂亮面孔的堆砌”，也无非是全片存在文化不兼容性，除了一些华丽的视效外，电影本身情节太过可预测，对白苍白，无法给观众带来有精神冲击的观影感受。而有评论者认为，若是能仔细想想，就好比是抗日神剧，类似“我爷爷在我很小的时候就死了”层出不穷，可还是挡不住大家看，不免在观影时是一边骂一边看的。但是在神剧里我们还可以去以血还血、以牙还牙来对待。

尽管片中也有不少张艺谋惯用的元素，《英雄》，《十面埋伏》，《黄金甲》三部古装片积累的经验都可在本片见到，比如像飞刀“仙人指路”一样的射箭表演，皇宫里斑斓的色彩，团体操式的行军打仗设计。但这些都是皮毛，它的内核看不到张艺谋的追求，若这样来看的话，张艺谋早期选故事很有投机眼光，他那时拍出的文艺片都很有话题性，可以同时满足东西方观众的猎奇心理。到了上个世纪九十年代中后期，张艺谋的方寸就有点乱了。那感觉就像他被资本牵着鼻子走，被商业大潮卷来卷去身不由己。是因为他对于导演文艺片这件事厌倦了或是江郎才尽了?也可能是因为他选择文艺片故事的投机眼光出问题了。

换句话说，诸如像那些个消极的批评其实是不甚公平的，容易忽视《长城》的文化和历史价值。原本观众们在电影里看到的往往是阿米利肯联邦的超级英雄们忙着拯救人类，主战场往往在阿米利肯的城市里。难免有人批评说，这个电影不应该叫《长城》，或许应该叫《我在宋朝打怪兽》之类的名称更合适。然而，这种批评意见没有意识到，如此的“长城”这个名称与其说是在命名故事情节，不如说是在表现文化要素，在进行文化释放。不错，长城就是天朝文化的典型代名词之一，伫立在那里。

然这问题是对于电影欢迎一切科学的、实事求是的、公正的批评，但批评不是“阴谋”的狂欢，不是“预谋”的胜利。若是说这恶意影评是一把双刃剑，博眼球能赢得一时的利益，但实际上却是饮鸩止渴，大浪淘沙终将被淘汰。不知道这批评应该是基于事实，不是站队，或者说对于影评中的摆事实讲道理，是电影批评起码的起点。即便是电影用了中国文化的象征做故事背景，那么对于导演和演员都太有名了。这两点的存在，难道电影上不上映都注定了要被骂么。电影《长城》当前水深火热的处境，不仅仅来源于电影本身质量与观众对张艺谋电影心理期待的巨大价值差，更来源于现今乌烟瘴气的网络舆论生态。

另则评论者认为，说张艺谋算是做的很优秀了。虽然也赞同从转战商业电影开始的作品，文化厚度与思维深度都有一定程度的下滑，但不容置喙的是无论英雄也好长城也罢，影片的可观赏性并未减弱。但毕竟在网络信息社会及知识化水平的提高在不断提升着大众的审美，此间也有很多人吐槽片中的“擂鼓”和“边塞歌”等场景，我很想说，文化程度高但是知识水平低的人真是好多好多。影片中庄严有节奏的出战擂鼓仪式，被无知评论说成“双节棍”，虽然我没有查证找出宋代当时军队出战时的擂鼓方式具体如何，但我肯定也是庄重肃穆整齐划一的，至少不会像一些影视剧中衙门击鼓告状那么简单，而摄影出身且对细节要求苛刻的张艺谋，必定也是查阅了大量文献资料才会将它展示在影片中的。

即便如此，之前看多几部好莱坞电影的都清楚，从成龙时代到近几年的《敢死队》、《变形金刚》、《惊天魔盗团》，中西结合已成为一部影片国际化的一大常见卖点了，并不稀奇。若说这张艺谋如此设定可能是在商业化《英雄》的基础上将中国文化中国元素中国电影迈向更高的国际化舞台，而更深入的探索中西方元素在文化与艺术两个层面更恰当友好的融合对于所谓的“边塞歌”等场景同理，实话说这些场景还都挺美。这也就是中国当前网络舆论生态中的一大乱象了，所有该关注该研究的事物，很少有人会去花心思挖掘探索，反倒是对那些无意义的不该操心的事情，个个兴致盎然。巧的是这次的《长城》正好又是一部“无意义的不该操心的事情”比较多的电影，这《长城》被置于如此风口浪尖也就不足为奇了。诸如此类。

现在，许多人喜欢出国留学。出国留学经常被认为是一个很好的机会，它能使人在旅途中获得光明的未来。我们不仅可以从国外学习不同的文化和知识，出国留学也可以丰富我们的生活。

一枚硬币有两面。同样，不同的人有不同的想法。对出国留学的保守和消极的关注已经逐渐从我们的社会中显现出来。人们开始怀疑出国留学出了什么问题。有几个问题值得我们讨论。

出国留学的不利因素可能影响文化和经济生活。我们中国人如果出国留学，在国外生活，就会经历文化冲击。有些同龄人可能无法适应新的学习和生活环境，这可能与他们的学习环境大不相同。生活是美好的，是艰难的。如果一个人对另一个国家的新文化感到不舒服，他在那个国家学习不会感到高兴。

此外，出国留学可能会给学生造成许多生活费。一些中国学生在学业上很成功，因此在学习中获得奖学金。然而，大多数出国留学的同行都没有获得奖学金。此外，他们不得不远离父母和祖国，应付许多意想不到的困难。例如，医疗保险、日常饮食、衣服、租金和交通运输可以产生大量的生活费用。通常，他们需要在很大程度上依赖父母的海外月供。

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.

不可思议的是，他们很少会把外衣、内衣分开洗，甚至会把脏鞋子和内衣放一起洗，他们的理由是烘干机带有消毒功能。

我曾在洛杉矶呆过三个月。东西方文化的差异、生活习性的迥异常让我倍感孤独和不知所措。

一次，参加美国朋友的家庭宴会，宾朋满座。同桌有一年长的老妇人，为了表达礼节，我起身端起酒杯，微笑着向她敬酒：“祝您老身体健康，福祥延年！”可是，老妇人并没有接受我的敬酒，相反脸色骤变，一句简短的“对不起”后，就离开了座位。我不知所措，同桌的朋友小声告诉我，美国人最不能容忍的就是别人说自己“老”，老年人绝不喜欢别人恭维他们的年龄，哪怕是80岁的老妪，你也得赞美她：“您真年轻，您真漂亮，祝您一直美丽。”而在我国，“老”字在中国是尊称，老年人是很受人尊敬的，在美国，老却是“人老珠黄不值钱”的代名词。没想到，我为了表示东方人的友好礼貌，竟无意间伤害了那位老妇人，令她和我都狼狈不堪。

还有一次，我在公园的长凳上休息。不远处，一对情侣模样的男女牵着两只雪纳瑞犬向我这边走来。我特别喜欢狗，看到这两只长得几乎一模一样的可爱狗狗，心生欢喜，更勾起了我对自己爱犬的想念，我不由自主地迎了过去。我一边向主人打招呼，一边蹲下抱起一只狗狗，拿出包内的烤肉和面包，毫不吝惜的拿在手里喂给狗狗吃。两人惊愕地看了我几秒后，飞快地拉着狗狗快步跑开，留下怔怔的我眼睁睁瞧着他们离开我的视线。后来，和朋友偶然说起这事，朋友说，有狗狗的美国家庭，都特别宠爱自己的狗狗，而且狗狗和自己的孩子享受一样的家庭待遇。陌生人没有征求主人的同意擅自喂他的狗狗，主人会很不高兴，他会担心你喂给狗狗的食物有毒或是劣质的。无意之中，我又犯了美国人的一大忌。

那段时间，我暂住朋友家里，美国人的阳台上几乎从不晾晒衣物。并不是美国人不爱干净，在一个家庭里，家庭成员通常会把每天换下的脏衣服、脏鞋子统一放在一个很大的收纳篮里，到了周末再进行大清洗。洗好的衣物直接放烘干机里烘干，绝少拿到阳台接受阳光的暴晒。不可思议的是，他们很少会把外衣、内衣分开洗，甚至会把脏鞋子和内衣放一起洗，他们的理由是烘干机带有消毒功能，这让我或多或少有些瞠目结舌。我受不了这些，坚持自己每天洗衣、在阳台晾晒衣物的习惯，弄得朋友不以为然地直摇头。

美国人吃的东西就那区区几种，可厨房用具却琳琅满目，一应俱全。我在朋友家的厨房里会经常拿着不知名的餐具不知所用，傻帽得可以。实际上，朋友家的饭菜很简单，一般是水果蔬菜沙拉配各类烤肉、奶酪、面包，再就是各种甜品点心，直腻得我胃内抽筋，耳里老幻想炒菜时菜下油锅时那一阵“滋啦”的美妙音响。美国人家的厨房很干净，油烟很少，电磁炉、电烤箱、微波炉就基本满足了他们生活所需，你想在他们的厨房里找出一口炒菜的铁锅，那是件很难的事情。我忍不住了，去超市买了口铁锅，拿回朋友的家里，把它架在电磁炉上，郑重其事地炒了一个纯中国式的青椒土豆丝，美美地品尝着来美后的第一顿中国菜。朋友用叉子叉了几根品尝后，竖起大拇指：“好吃，好吃！”？

On the Losing of Traditional Culture

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.
