the american revolution was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in france and russia, when both were already independent nations. significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. what happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. during the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.

america＇s war of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. one was canada, which received its first large influ of english-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the united states. another was australia, which became a penal colony now that america was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. the third newcomer-the united states-based itself squarely on republican principles.

yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. in some states, notably connecticut and rhode island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already eisting. british officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and parliament.

《格列佛游记》是英国作家乔纳森·斯威夫特写的，他是英国著名讽刺作家，其中《格列佛游记》是一部杰出的游记体讽刺小说，以较为完美的艺术形式表达了作者的思想观念，作者用丰富的讽刺手法和虚构幻想的荒诞和离奇的情节，深刻地反映了当时的英国社会现实。

格列佛游记，讲述的是格列佛在四个不同的国度所遇到的奇闻趣事。小人国实际上是当时英国的缩影。作者借小人国里的高跟党和低跟党之争来嘲笑英国两个不同政党间的论证;吃鸡蛋的大端派和小端派的争论是指英法之争;跳绳选官之事讽刺了政坛的腐败。大人国的所见是阐述了作者的政治理想。大人国的淳朴民风，和所石施行的政治体系。飞岛国的科学家们，从事着脱离实际的科学研究。他们不但脱离人民，而且还敌视人们，用残暴的手段对待人民。这是作者对于英国的殖民统治的不满之情。而慧骃国中

分为两种动物，一种是具有高度自律性，高尚节操的马和粗鄙丑陋的耶胡，这表达了作者对资产阶级的憎恶。

读了这一篇文章后。我觉得即使现在的我们虽然不能做出什么轰轰烈烈的事情来，但是可以做我们能做到的事。就算是低下头拣起一片垃圾，制止他人做破坏环境的事。这都是我们可以做到的。我们应该像慧骃国的马一样拥有着高尚的情操。

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.

Steve Rogers was born in the Great Depression of a poor, vulnerable youth. Because of the news that the Nazis had invaded and invaded Europe in Europe, they wanted to join the army.

But because the infirm refused. Inadvertently learned that Steve Rogerss sincere desire of general Chester Phillips decided to give him a chance, let him take part in the rebirth program".

After several weeks of testing, Steve Rogers was injected with a super soldier serum and was bombarded with ultraviolet irradiation, and finally has the most perfect body of human beings.

Then he received a physical and tactical training. After three months, he has been as "Captain America" first job with indestructible shield and well versed in tactical mind, he put in the fight with the red skull, and eventually stop the red skulls evil plan, but he has therefore been frozen until 70 years after woke up.

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

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

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

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。！

[美国电视剧英语作文

In China, the college entrance exam is believed to be the most cruel exam, which will decide a student’s future. Many young people complain about this educational system, they yearn for the western education, which is reported to be much eaiser. But the fact is that not all foreign students like that.

在中国,高考被认为是最残酷的考试,这将决定一个学生的未来。许多年轻人抱怨这个教育体系,他们渴望西方的教育,西方教育一直被媒体报道上学轻松。但事实是,不是所有的外国学生都是这样轻松。

In America, high school students also need to take the very important exam so as to enter the college. Part of students choose to study in community college or just go to work, so they don’t have much pressure. They enjoy the high school life with joining many activities and taking all kinds of parties. But for the students who want to enter the top university, high school is not easy for them. They need to spend extra hours to study after class, which is much like Chinese students.

在美国,高中学生也需要参加非常重要的考试,为了上大学。一部分学生选择在社区大学学习或者是直接工作,所以他们没有太多的压力。他们享受高中生活，加入许多活动和各种各样的派对。但是那些想进入顶尖大学的学生,高中是不容易的。他们需要花额外的时间去课后学习,就像中国学生。

Actually, no matter in which country, every student needs to spend a lot of time studying in order to be competitive. If you yearn for an ease environment in high school, then you’d better prepare for the unexpected future.

其实,不管在哪个国家,每个学生都需要花大量的时间学习，才能有竞争力。如果你渴望在高中处于一个轻松的环境,那么你最好准备好迎接意想不到的未来。

[美国的教育英语作文

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 example, 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 excellent 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.

It is quite common for parents to beat their children,because they think eating is a good way to make children learn and behave well.One of my neighbors made a very strict demand on his son and scolded him bitterly or smacked(稍带特定味道) him whenever he was lazy or disobedient(违抗命令的).To justify(辩解) what he did,he said,” spare the rod and ruin the child.”

Actually beating is a violent way of treating children.It does more harm and causes more hurt than good to children’s physical and psychological health.However,beating children is common occurrence(出现) in our life.Many children become disable because their parents hit them too hard.Some lost their hearing and some became lame(跛脚的).Some children develop an internal(内在的) hatred(憎恨) for their parents and protest(抗议) by running away from home.Others may become so fearful of their parents that they tremble(发抖) at the sight of their angry parents.A mother,for example,even went so far as to beat her son to death because she was not satisfied with his study.Likewise(同样地),it is not unusual that the child murdered(凶杀) his parents because of the extreme contradiction(矛盾) between them.How can children learn and grow healthily under such circumstance(环境)?

Quite often parents will be torn by pangs(剧痛) of regret(懊悔) and remorse(自责) after they have beaten their children.They feel very sad in the rest of their lives.But it is already too late.How can they bring their handicapped(有生理缺陷的) child back to healthy one?How can they relieve(减轻) pains in their children’s heart so easily?We can say beating hurts both children and parents.It is absolutely a bad way to make children learn and behave well.

Exactly speaking,children are also human beings.They have self-respect and should be respected.

《格列佛游记》是美国文学史上的一部的讽刺小说，据说伏尔泰、拜伦、高尔基和鲁迅也很推崇斯威夫特的作品。我深深地崇拜着鲁迅，他用枯黄却瘦劲的手指着青年前进的方向，于是我便朝着那个方向，看上了《格列佛游记》--爱屋及乌。看过之后，大呼"上当"也于事无补，唯一值得安慰的是可以问问别人对斯威夫特怎么看，来显示是"文学青年"，更地是写一篇不伦不类的读后感交上去凑数。

每当回想起当年看这本名著的时候，历史的沧桑感便涌上了心头，那些日子真是成就感受，很失败。一天仅仅十几页，举"目"维艰，冷不防冒上一句"往事不堪回首"，发自于肺腑啊!

打个比方，读《围城》是愉悦的享受，就像是用地道战地雷战打鬼子，越打越过瘾，正打在关头上，钱钟书先生将大笔一搁，鬼子投降了;读《骆驼祥子》也挺爽，应该属于三大战争的那种，□三下五除二地把蒋介石赶到了台湾，我也三下五除二地干掉了老金;但读《格列佛游记》就大不一样了，是受罪，就像血战台儿庄一样，拉锯战，特艰苦卓绝，不但要跟斯威特作斗争，还要与瞌睡虫作斗争，不过"不破楼兰终不还"的我了"格列佛大捷"，但损失惨重，至今想起来还余悸不已。

，此后，看到鲁迅拿着烟斗一副正气凛然的样子，总会口不自禁地唱道："你的错，是你骗了我，还让我不知不觉被骗的虚荣"……

，受了骗，并未鲁迅在我心的地位，我依然固执地：斯威夫特是与鲁迅同日而语的。

鲁迅，我国的无产阶级文学家、思想家、革命家;斯威夫特何许人也?英国十八世纪罪恶腐朽的资产阶级中的一员。的阶级属性有着本质区别(假如赶上"文革"就好了，分清敌我要啊)。其二，鲁迅是国产的，斯威夫特是洋货(这似乎是废话)。至于点，我是最最的，鲁迅的文章虽艰深生涩但我依稀可辨，斯威夫特的译本大白话，但我不知所言，所言何干。 一番换位思考，我如下推测：大不列颠的可爱青年们也不知道鲁迅在说些，要表达些，"吧--那简直的"那种鲁迅的矛盾句式。

正如我一样。

究其原因，彼此在不同的国度，承着不同的文化，，历史，的从小就，别人的很少去触及。而的知识垫底，去读在特定时期特定环境下的指桑骂槐的作品，看不懂是为奇的。 我不知道十八世纪美国的辉格、托利两党缠绵悱恻、暧昧的关系，当然也就无从体会斯威夫特笔下的争论吃鸡蛋应先敲哪头、鞋跟之高低等"原则"问题的"高跟党"与"低跟党"的妙处。我错怪斯威夫特了，我要有一颗宽容的心。而后来的斯威夫特也渐渐变得可以理解了，给我的感觉是他很正义。

他讽刺地道出了当时英国的特点："贪婪、党争、伪善、无信、残暴、愤怒、疯狂、怨恨、嫉妒、□、阴险和野心。"他讥讽地描述了□颠倒的怪诞：马成了理性的载体，而人则化作脏臭、屎尿横飞、贪婪刁难的下等动物耶胡。他大谈人的天性，心甘情愿被金钱所奴役，奢侈浪费贪得无厌。看完《格列佛游记》之后，不审阅，身上有顽疾劣根的影子。

有一句话，我评论得很经典：以夸张渲染时代的生气，藉荒唐痛斥时代的弊端;在厌恨和悲观背后，应是苦涩的忧世情怀。

想到在那些朴实得如同流水账的大白话游记中竟蕴含着这么深邃的内涵。

英语范文一：

On summer holiday my parents took me to Beijing. We stayed at Huabei Hotel. On the first day, we went to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is very long and old. It has millions of bricks. Each brick is very big and heavy. Lots of people from different countries like climbing the Great Wall. We felt very tired when we climbed to the top of the Great Wall.

We also went to the Palace Museum. The Palace Museum has 9999 palaces. It has a very long history. I bought a lot of souvenirs of the Palace Museum. What nice palaces these are! I visited the Palace Museum and felt excited. If you want to know more about the Palace Museum, you can go to Beijing and have a look. The following days, we went to the Summer Palace, Tian Tan, North Lake and Xiang Hill. I now know more about the history of China. I also like modern Beijing. The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing.

Later, I went back with my parents by train. I really enjoyed the trip to Beijing. I like this trip!

We all had a great time，,it was a well-known wonder in the is made of big stones which was too heavy to bring even uesing it to buil a construction of ruggedization。!We went to see the Imperial Palace and the great wall 。.

The Imperial Palace noted the historyLast summer holiday I have been to Beijing with my friends for a travel。

The American tour is over, and a little bit of the American swim through time and space tunnel, drip in my heart, printed in my mind.

America is an independent country. As for education, in China, we are all the baby in the family, holding hands in our hands, a little hurt is not willing to let us, more reluctant to stay away from our parents arms. American parents are more relaxed about their children and let them succeed with their own efforts. I saw such a scene in the United States, a baby fell down, and the babys mother didnt have as much pain as her parents in China, but taught him how to get up. At the sorran school in Los Angeles, there are many big brothers and sisters who are doing volunteer work to get credits, and they create their own world with their own hands. Our Chinese students may be little princess princesses at home. But in the United States, our landlady has made us experience our own dishes and the joys of labor. Thats how two parents of different countries have different approaches to education kids. Perhaps, the pain is some, but only temporary, but the cowardice in the heart once formed, is permanent, cannot change. This is worth learning.

American thrift is more worth learning. In China, we may be a little wasteful, but in the United States, most of the meals are buffet. There are some Chinese students who have been watching for a while. Many students take a lot of food, but many of them are wasted, and americans eat as much as they can and never waste food. My MOM is a woman who knows her life well and doesnt live in a wealthy neighborhood, but her family has always been frugal. They have three cars, an armored car, a sports car and a car. Two of them are luxury cars, and one is a Mercedes Benz in the eighties. In China, people tend to drive luxury cars, and they usually drive old cars. They have a pool where they often hold parties, so that we have the privilege of meeting more foreigners.

On the first day to Los Angeles, Xu Mingjie very lucky and I attended a local wedding, it was a very romantic wedding, under the illuminate of lamplight, a couple looks very bright. Little girls and small, well-fitted dresses add another look to the wedding.

Christianity was the bishop of the United States, and in the soslan school, it was the propaganda of Christianity. In that, although we believe in Buddhism, we respect their Christian culture, which is the highlight of Chinese students abroad. Our family still goes to church on the weekend.

In the United States, we went to shopping malls, and the shop assistants were very enthusiastic about us, and we were in that crazy shopping, invisibility, which promoted the economic development of the United States. To think about, and why the salesman students enthusiasm for China, which is not Chinas continuous development, continuous increase in the national economy, despite this, we dont it is for the welfare of the United States?

After a week of study, we went on to the east, the White House, congress, the United Nations, Wall Street, Broadway... Let us experience another American amorous feelings.

I dont think americans are as gentlemanly as British people, but there are still places to learn, and Ive benefited a lot from this trip to America.

Chinese Families and American Families

提纲

1。 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。

2。 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。

Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be。 Most young Chinese parents have only one child， while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have。

However， unlike the Chinese young people， many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents。 They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married。 Many of them would almost never live with their parents again。 It is a sad thing indeed。

Things are different in China。 Both the young and the old admit the problems between them， but they will try to understand each other。 Besides， sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children。 So it is still very common in todays China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents。 However， China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof。

我们抵达旧金山的当天下午，参观了著名的金门大桥。金门大桥横跨旧金山和马林半岛之间的金门海峡。大桥被漆成红色，样子很是壮观，每天都吸引大量的游客。然而，最吸引人的还不是它雄伟的外观，而是它是美国乃至世界上有名的“殉情桥”。原来每年都有不少来自美国国内和其他一些国家的情侣在这里跳海殉情。我们到大桥以后，先在桥头照照像，然后在桥上转了转。令我们感到不解的是，既然经常有人在这里“殉情”，可是这座桥除了不高的栏杆以外，没有任何防范设施。也许旧金山人觉得没有人跳海，这座大桥就不那么出名了吧?

说来也巧，当我们正要离开大桥时，忽然看见有几个人一边喊着一边向桥下跑去。原来又有人跳海了。我和其他几个人也跑了下去，看见一些可能是志愿人员正在寻找跳海的“殉情”者，但“殉情”的人已经没有踪影了，后来他们是否得救就不得而知了。每当我们谈到这件事时就觉得很是纳闷:这些人在哪里不能殉情啊，为什么非得大老远的跑到这里来跳海呢?据说这个问题连美国人也说不太清楚。

第一篇：美国文化

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.

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.

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.

第三篇：美国文化

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.

美国文化,从某种意义上说,是欧洲文化的延伸,因为美国人的语言、人口构成和她来自欧洲的精神基础。另一方面,美国文化与欧洲,因为欧洲移民在北美大陆印第安人赶走后,在一个贫瘠的荒野地创建一个惊人的是灿烂的文明。因此,在美国谈论文化习俗和社会规范,有必要考虑相同的欧洲和美国的文化,但也注意到这两个异性。文化习俗是一个广泛的范围和复杂性的话题,人们参与社会生活,在各方面的关系。

的宽容。

美国是一个移民国家,来自世界各地的祖先。人移民到美国,不仅在位置移动,而且在他们的国家和风俗理事会的新居住地。杂,人们分歧非常明显,因为差异是非常普遍的,人们并不特别关注团结。随着时间的推移,美国人的文化习俗形成了一个更高层次的公差(公差),宽容不同文化和不同的评估,一个可接受的态度。在这一点上,美国社会可行的比世界上其他国家的习俗。

从政治角度看,这种宽容的性能追求自由和维护自由的权利。从宗教,它体现在不同信仰的和谐共存。从生活的角度,它出现在不同的社区,不同的民族生活在和平。简而言之,在美国,每个人基本上可以任意选择不同的观念、信仰、传统、习俗和生活方式,人们也可以保持相当大的程度上,他们的习俗和乐器。例如,犹太人可以庆祝他们的宗教节日,而基督教徒,他们的圣诞节和复活节。例如,美国,中国在唐人街中国生活和工作,同样,越南移民在他们的“小西贡”按越南的方式经营和从事各种活动。

美国人的宽容,除了上面的美国是一个非移民因素的国家,和经常运动的美国人。众所周知,美国历史发展的一个重要组成部分的西部地区的发展的历史。当时,美国开拓者或徒步旅行、骑马或汽车,从东到西,从南到北,哪里有机遇,Jiuwang安置。频繁的迁移和不断更换栖息地,这样人们将永远是“移动”,以及偶尔的现象所面临的不同更容易宽容和接受。此外,经常迁移还能够帮助人们扩大视野,了解更广泛的知道,不同的实践同情、理解,并逐渐形成多样性而非均匀性开放的概念。

强大的美国人宽容,所以很少有美国人将自己的意志强加于他人,与中国孔子“别人不想,不要对“Guxun像。例如,丈夫可能是个共和党人,但他必须不支持民主党迫使他的妻子改变政治立场。同样,也许妈妈是天主教徒,但她决不能强迫她进入一个穆斯林把儿子改变宗教信仰。在日常生活和习惯的业务在正常情况下,这种宽容精神是一种常见的发生,司空见惯。

Let’s work together to find a balance point

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!

我以前没有去过任何洞穴游玩，特别还是地下洞穴，但这次，我来到了位于美国亚利桑纳州北方的世界上著名的狭缝型峡谷——-羚羊谷。

我特别期待这次游览，因为这个洞穴跟一般的普通洞穴不一样，他是彩色的，而且每一个角度，每一个时间的景色都不一样，观赏最好风景的时候是中午，恰好我们去的时候是中午。

走进洞穴，就被里面五彩缤纷的色彩吸引了，洞穴顶部铺满了各种颜色，而且呈现变化，像光又不是光，旋转、回绕、发散，各种色泽渐变回旋，真是大自然的鬼斧神工，我最喜欢洞穴里淡淡的紫色，与红、橙、黄、褐缠绕在一起，神秘又神奇。

洞穴里五彩缤纷的情景让我觉得大自然太神奇了，我们这次去的是下羚羊谷，下次我要去上羚羊谷。

7月12日一大早，我们就驱车赶往了世界七大奇景之一的美国大峡谷国家公园。一路上，我看到了著名的沙漠植物骆驼刺和蜡树，。骆驼刺的根长可以达到它整个植物的十到十五倍，这样它就可以方便地吸收到地下水，从而存活下来;蜡树树枝的末端有一层白色的蜡，所以人们叫它蜡树，听导游说，只有在拉斯维加斯的这种沙漠环境中才能看到它。

到了那儿后，我们坐着大峡谷的专用观光车，参观了老鹰岩。老鹰岩是经过亿万年的风雨磨练而形成的巨大的、像老鹰的岩石，它的中间部分凹了下去，而凹槽中又有一个棱状的岩石突起，仿佛就像一只老鹰正张开它那硕大无比的翅膀，正向我们飞来。我们在老鹰岩下了车，随后走上了一座巨大的玻璃桥。它以马蹄形横越大峡谷上方，我和妈妈走上去以后，妈妈一直在喊：“姚泽程，你赶快往旁边靠，我不敢往下面看!”一开始，我也有点害怕，因为玻璃桥是透明的，从中间往下看，仿佛就像是一个无底洞，随时要把我们吸进去，而且桥体还在微微颤抖着，所以我不敢往下看。直到后来，一位和我们同行的大姐姐告诉我说：“不要害怕，这座玻璃桥很坚固的，你试着往玻璃上面走走看，很快就会恢复自信的。”我听了她的话后，试探地往前走了一步，我惊讶地发现，自己竟然没有摔下去，于是我迈出了第二步、第三步……之后我们还在玻璃桥上拍照留念呢!

下了玻璃桥后，我觉得这真是一次有趣的冒险。太high了!

接下来，我们又来到了大峡谷里的印地安保护区。我看到了许多印地安人穿着现代服装，在一个由巨石和木头搭起来的棚子里表演，我还看到一个印地安小朋友和老爷爷说了几句我听不懂的语言后，那个小朋友就高高兴兴地拿着棒棒糖跑开了。

路上我们又看到了貌似一只大蝙蝠的蝙蝠岩，它也是经过亿万年的风雨磨练而形成的。夕阳西下，我们带着依依不舍的心情离开了这美丽又宏伟的大峡谷。

再见!大峡谷!

Last year, my parents and I arrived in the United States on the other side of the ocean, living in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States. The city life there is very different from the city life in China.

Special one: building

Most people in China live in public housing or apartments, and there are not so many people in the United States. People usually live in semi-detached houses. The left half of the family, the right half the other family, or up and down two families, the economy many people live in the independent house. The two houses are not large, usually made of beautiful bricks, and the first floor has steps to connect the ground and houses, and the houses are numbered with metal. There was a small garden around the house, with lush trees and green grass, and some tables and chairs. There is a fence outside the garden, a password lock on the fence, someone with a key to the password can go in, so its safe to live in it.

Special 2: traffic

Car penetration in China is lower than in the u.s., where most Chinese residents take public transportation, and almost every home in the United States has a car. Why? Thats because the United States was designed as a big car in the first place. The roads are designed to be spacious and the garage is so much designed that there are few traffic jams or parking Spaces in the United States. Back in China, there are no seats left for the training courses, and the half way is still stuck on the high shelf, so it must get up early to be not late.

Winter in the United States, people dont have to wear thick wool pants and a sweater, because indoor central heating in the winter, go out is given priority to with the car, go out just get in the car, the car also has air conditioning, so dont feel cold. Its kind of like our northeast China.

Special 3: diet

You must be very fond of pizza and cookies. These are the snacks that everyone enjoys during the break. But why eat well and sometimes not to eat? Thats because americans eat high-calorie foods, such as a pizza, so they eat them for dinner. Americans pay more attention to the nutrition of food, like to eat high-protein things, and also like to eat very sweet snack, so you cant burn Chinese food in the United States can only eat these things all day long!

You see how different Chinas urban life is from the American city life!

Comments: the author introduces the life of the United States and China in the way of small title, which is clear and emphases. If you can express your feelings in the introduction, it will bring you closer to the reader.

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value,the pursue of democracy and freedom,the promotion of deploitation 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.
