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。!

To be an American is, as Henry James famously observed, a complex fate. But complexity was that rococo masters stock-in-trade, which may explain why he returned to his native country in 1904 after an absence of more than 20 years. To be sure, he was interested in a Jamesian walk down memory lane, with its full quota of meditative hairsplitting. Yet he also meant to take advantage of his hybrid status as a Europeanized American. I made no scruple, James explains in his introduction, of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity ... than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions. Vibrate he did, in the ornate and extraordinary periods of his late phase, and the result was a one-of-a-kind travel book, The American Scene.What appalls him the most, though, is the Almighty Dollar, which he perceives as the preliminary American postulate, the very bedrock of New World life: This basis is that of active pecuniary gain and of active pecuniary gain only--that of ones making the conditions so triumphantly pay that the prices, the manners, the other inconveniences, take their place as a friction it is comparatively easy to salve, wounds directly treatable with the wash of gold. Some will argue that the fussbudget author had spent too much time in England, where money remained a dirty word until after the Second World War. Others may find his diagnosis eerily prescient. In any case, The American Scene remains required reading for anybody interested in U.S. history, Henry James, or the incredible evolution of the compound sentence.

When meeting someone for the first time it is customary to shake hands both for men and for women. Hugs are only exchanged between close friends. Kissing is not common and men never kiss other men.

Americans will usually introduce themselves by their first name and last name (such as “Hello I’m John Smith”) or if the setting is very casual by their first name only (“Hi I’m John”). The common response when someone is introduced to you is “Pleased to meet you.” Unless someone is introduced to you with their title and last name (such as Mister Smith or Miss Johnson) you should address them by their first name. Americans normally address everyone they meet in a social or business setting by their first name. However you should always address your college professors by their title and last name (such as Professor Jones) unless they ask you to do otherwise.

第一次见面的时候,男人和女人都习惯握手。拥抱只是亲密朋友之间的交换。接吻并不常见,男人从不亲吻其他男人。

美国人通常会介绍他们自己的名字和姓氏(如“你好,我是约翰·史密斯”),或者,如果设置很随便,由他们的名字只(“嗨,我是约翰”)。当某人被介绍给你时,通常的反应是“很高兴见到你”,除非有人向你介绍他们的姓和姓(如史米斯先生或约翰逊小姐),你应该称呼他们的名字.。美国人通常用他们的名字称呼他们在社交或商务场合遇到的每个人.。然而,你应该总是称呼你的大学教授的头衔和姓(如琼斯教授),除非他们要求你做其他的事情.。

A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but,if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor ,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the worlds best,its workers the most skilled.American and Americans were prosperous beyongd the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economeics the war had destroyed.

It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer.Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominace proved painful.By the mid 1980s Americans had found themselves at a losss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,hand shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competitiong.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none :Zenith was bought by SouthKoreasLGElectronics in July.)Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeeping into the domestic market.Americas machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the makeing of semiconductors,whidh America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next caualty.

All of this caused a crisis of confidenc.Americans stopped taking prosperity ofr granted .They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shourtly begin to fall as well .The mind -1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes ofAmericas in dustrial decline.Thir sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competitiong from overseas.

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。

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.

The Americans are much in love with food. This is part of being American too. Baseball is Americans national pastime1, but whats a ball game without hot dogs, peanuts2 and Cracker Jacks (sweetened popcorn3)? Hollywood is Americas symbol of glamour4 and excitement all over the world, but who would watch a movie in America without asking for an extra large bag of popcorn? And the astronauts took instant orange drink [Tang] with them.

Americans love all kinds of food, Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, French, Japanese and many others. The Americans are in fact

“The UN of Food.”

To get familiar with the American eating custom, one must know two things. First, one must know the sequence5 of service. There is something special in terms of the sequence, or order, of dish service in America compared with ours. Here is the order:

1. Aperitif6—a small cup of alcoholic drink to increase ones appetite7. The host or hostess will ask: “Do you like a cup of aperitif?”

2. Hors doeuvre8—some tasty food offered in small quantities at the beginning of a meal.

3. Appetizer —or called starter, it is a small serving of juice, fruit or seafood or something else, at the beginning of a meal, to stimulate9 peoples appetite.

4. Now the main course is under way:

a) Soup—it is usually the first course in a dinner.

b) Fish—it is usually served after the soup and before the entree10 in a formal meal.

c) Entree—the third course of a meal, generally it is made up of a hot meat.

d) Savory11—the last course in a formal meal, it is something pleasant to eat but with a salty rather than sweet taste.

5. Dessert12 —sweet food served toward the end of a meal, usually it is a pudding, chocolate cake, or cheese and biscuits sometimes.

6. Coffee—thats the last stage in a formal present-day European and American dinner. Its served either at table or in the living room.

In a family treatment, the above-mentioned No 1-3 stage may be omitted13, though No 4 is the essential part. And the main course generally includes no more than 5 dishes of nutrient14 food. Ostentation15 is never under consideration.

Another thing to mention is that serving oneself from ones own plate is popular in Europe and America, except for the soup and bread which is taken and enjoyed according to ones need.

The second one we must know about the American eating custom is the taboos at table.

(1) Dont circle your plate with your arm. If you do so, you will become the focus16 of the table. Everyone would wonder: “Is there anything wrong with the food?” This may give a false message that you dont like the food or something like that.

(2) Dont push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you mean to remind17 the hostess that youve just completed a labor?

(3)Dont lean18 back and announce that “Im through” or “Im stuffed19.” Just put the fork and knife quietly across the plate, thats all.

(4) Dont cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites20 at a time.

(5) Never take huge mouthfuls of anything. Do you mean to show how hungry you are? Dont do that! Be gentlemanlike or ladylike.

(6) Dont crook21 your finger when picking up a cup or glass. That looks too affected22, far from ladylike!

(7) Never wear too much lipstick23 to the table. It may stain the napkins24 and look gaudy25 and embarrassing on the rims26 of the cup or glass.

(8) Its never acceptable to reach across the table for anything (a serving dish, for example). If the item you want is not at hand, simply ask for the nearest person for help, like “Mrs. Smith, would you mind passing me the butter (or a dish)?”

全文共 2112 字

The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.

The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the familys own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine

The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States—some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific states.

今年七月十二日,我游览了迪士尼乐园。就是这天,让我受益非浅。让我来告诉你为什么吧!

在迪士尼,有各种不同,各式各样的过山车。有360度的,有“珠穆朗玛峰”,有“矿山小火车”,以及“宇宙飞船”做了那四辆过山车之后,就此改变了我的性格。我在坐360度的过山车时我认为我是不可能成功地坐完过山车,自己想躲到后面去,可是,当我发现盛智勤、范彬南(都是女生)都去了,我就感觉自己有些不好意思。我登上了过山车。

一开始,我甚至都想从过山车上跳下去,直接跳在隧道里。但后来,我却发现没什么好害怕的,就像是一辆奔驰g500在山上以120km/h的速度行驶。我甚至喜欢上做过山车了。我还跃跃欲试的尝试其他各式各样的经典过山车哪!这真是一场珍贵的经历。

通过这件事,我知道了在游乐场里的东西都是不会有任何危险的。所以,如果碰到过山车之类的东西,最好还是要去玩一玩、试一试。这样,才能获得真正的乐趣和快乐的回忆。

趁着国庆长假,我们来到了位于美国亚利桑那州的凤凰城探望爸爸。

因为我们在美国停留的时间短,于是我们在休息日就近探访了印第安人的居住地喜多娜镇。

喜多娜镇位于美国北部,距离凤凰城有三个小时的车程,以美丽得让人眩晕的红色岩石著称,因此又有奇秀石多娜之称,它起源于美洲印第安神化,又是印第安人的圣地,因此每年都会有许多朝圣者和术士前来朝拜。在许多美国反映西部的影片里,凡是描写印第安人作战场景的电影都是在喜多娜镇拍摄的呢!

我们驱车两个小时,就开始进入了喜多娜镇,老远就看见连绵不断的红色的山,非常特别、壮美。从上到下颜色逐渐由红变白,山中有高大的仙人掌点缀。车慢慢地靠近了,这时候山更红了,更艳了,千姿百态,层叠嶙峋,有的像咖啡壶、有的像蘑菇、还有的像老鹰,其中有一个更像我们中国古代的老人矗立在山上……最著名的那块石头叫“Catholicrock”,它的样子很像天主教堂镶嵌在岩石中,吸收着自然的灵气,威严耸立,和周围的环境非常吻合。我们还见到了著名的橡树溪,橡树溪里的水非常干净,是山上融化下来的雪水,潺潺的溪水在红色的岩石中流淌着、跳跃着。淌佯在如此美景之中,心灵感到非常的宁静,人也要醉了。

接着我们来到了Coconino国家森林公园,正好时值秋天,整个森林公园是彩色的,橡树呈现了黄,绿,红等各种颜色,真是美丽极了,整个Coconino国家森林公园穿过大峡谷,绵延数万里,站在峡谷的顶端,向下望去,望也望不尽的绿、红、黄,令人心旷神怡,留连忘返。我注意到整个Coconino国家森林公园的环境保护的非常好,没有任何与自然不和谐的白色污染和垃圾,对野营地也有严格的规定,虽然没有任何告示牌写明注意保护环境,但每个旅游者都会很自然地不留下任何不和谐的东西,看来保护环境在美国已深入人心。

在接下来的几天里,在这个汽车上的国家里,因为爸爸开车去上班了,因为没车我们也无法出门了,只好每天在游泳池里游泳,健身房里锻炼身体。而同时,我们也发现了美国人有许多值得我们学习的地方,他们都非常友善和有礼仪。每当我们在超市里买完东西离开时,他们会很有礼貌的说:“Thankyou,haveaniceday!”,在小区里碰到汽车时,他们总是会在10米之外的地方停下来,等我们安全过马路后,他们才会缓缓开过来。在小区里碰到美国人时,即使不认识,他们也会热情地说“Hello!”。在健身房用完健身器材离开时,他们都会用纸巾将器材认真地擦拭干净后才离开。

虽然在美国只有短短的几天,但我也学到了很多东西,同时我也展现了一名中国福山外国语小学学生的风采和礼仪,我给美国小学生教了我们中国的折纸和汉语,他们都很高兴认识了我。
