美国大峡谷游记

全文共 383 字

+ 加入清单

今天是我美国之旅的第二站,我要去美国大峡谷——grand canyon,它是美国最大的峡谷,位于亚利桑那州西北部的凯巴布高原,由于科罗拉多河穿流其中,故又名科罗拉多大峡谷,它是联合国保护的天然遗产之一,科罗拉多河发源于落基山,洪流奔泻,它全长446公里,平均宽16公里,最深处1740米,平均深1600米,总面积2724平方公里。

我们刚下车,首先映入眼帘的是两座高耸入云的山峰,它们的中间凹入的部分就是大峡谷,峡谷与山峰的高度形成了天壤之别,让游人简直不敢相信这是真的,峡谷里树木苍翠茂盛,让黄色的土地充满生机,就像无边无际的沙漠中的绿宝石,显得格外光彩夺目,大峡谷中,还有一条白色的长河,那就是科罗拉多河,在山底围绕,远看就像一条白色的绸缎、像一条长龙,渐渐地、、、渐渐地、、、我觉得眼前分明是一幅景色迷人的风景画呢,可能全世界都不会有第二张。

大峡谷真是美丽极了。

Old People in America

In the old days,American families were bigger. People had more children,and grandparents and great-grandparents lived with their families. But now, families are smaller, and many old people

live alone. At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer. The number of old people is always growing.

Some old people like to stay in their old homes. They do not want to move from their old homes. They do not want to move from their hometown. They are near their .friends and family. But some do not have a lot of friends. They want to meet new people. They want to live in a quiet place with other people of their age.

A large number of old people are moving to the South. It is warm there. You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating.

A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people. One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona. All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old cant live there.

美国老人

以前美国都是大家庭,Old People in America(美国的老人),四六级写作《Old People in America(美国的老人)》。人们孩子很多,祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但现在,家庭越来越小,许多老人独自生活。与此同时,美国人越活越长。老年人的数目总在不断增长。

有些老人喜欢呆在他们原来的房子里。他们不愿意从旧房子里搬出来。他们不想离开家乡。他们想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多,他们想结交新人,他们想和其他同龄的老人共同居住在一个僻静的地方。

很多老人正在迁往南部,那里天气暖和。冬天的时候不需要在雪中走路,也不需要交大笔取暖费。

很多老人正在迁往只允许老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亚利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太阳城。太阳城居住的所有家庭都必须有一个成员在50岁以上,18岁以下的孩子能住在那里。

The benefits of immigrating to the United States, whether you believe it or not, is an interesting phenomenon in the United States and naturalization, which is that the number of people applying for citizenship has soared in the era of immigration regulation. Last year was the most intense year for border security and illegal immigration in the United States, and the number of americans applying for citizenship last year was the highest since 1999. A similar situation occurred a decade ago. Dan, a spokesman for the U.S. citizenship and immigration services (USCIS). every time theres an immigration debate, theres always a surge in naturalization applications, says Dan Kane. Some experts believe that rising immigration, naturalization and other service costs in recent years may have pushed immigrants to apply for naturalization prior to the increase. In addition, foreigners will be keen to join us citizenship and, of course, the top ten benefits of naturalization.

Top 10 benefits of joining us citizenship:

1. The citizenship of the United States can be applied to many relatives as permanent residents in the United States according to the immigration law. There is no limit on the number of people and the time for waiting for the green card is much shorter. Along with a unique, that is, if you are a citizen of the United States, you can in your immediate family (including spouse, parents and unmarried minor child (children) in the United States during the visit (s) to apply for immigrants to him, and he (they) dont have to leave the country to do procedure, as long as with immigration give receipt can legally to stay in American waiting for the final approval of immigration, and not of little chance, its just a matter of waiting for the length of time.

2. Many countries have visa-free access to American citizens. It is more convenient for American citizens to enter customs than those who do not automatically enter the customs.

Most people dont want to commit a crime, but maybe in the wrong time, in the wrong place, we are victims of some kind of situation, but as American citizens, we will not be expelled from the country. American citizens do not have to worry about losing a green card or staying abroad for a long time.

4. Retired U.S. citizens can enjoy all social security benefits, and green card holders can only enjoy half the benefits.

5. U.S. citizens have the right to elect federal, state and local government officials. Some countries, including Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada, recognize dual citizenship, allowing americans to retain their original nationality and passport. U.S. green card holders are not elected and elected before they enter the country.

6. American citizens can have more public benefits, including additional Security Income (SSI) and food stamps, as well as certain scholarships and financial aid.

American citizens can have more jobs and jobs. Only citizens can be elected to elected municipal, state and federal government posts. Many federal, state and municipal jobs recruit only U.S. citizens.

An adopted or biological child under the age of 18 can automatically become an American citizen. If a child is born outside the United States and is unmarried and under the age of 18, the child may be naturalized when his or her parents are naturalized.

American citizens have more financial and tax incentives, are often easier to get loans and get better lending rates because lenders think they are less likely to run for debt.

When you become an American citizen, you dont have to worry about a green card every 10 years.

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。

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.

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。

再见!大峡谷!

寒假终于到了,我们因为有演出任务,可以顺便去美国旅游一趟,坐了一天的飞机,终于到达了美国!我们先到达了风景宜人的夏威夷,还去了所有孩子梦想的乐园“迪士尼”,并且参观了耶鲁大学等,这趟出游不仅开阔了我眼界,还让我感受到了很多不一样的民族文化和放假的轻松愉快!

参观的第一个地方是夏威夷,小时候总听大人们说夏威夷漂亮,今日一见果不其然!那里风和日丽,景色宜人。然后到了珍珠港,并在那合了影,还看了历史记录片。第二天我们去了威基基海滩。这次比第一天更有趣。在沙滩上我们听老师讲完注意事项,迫不及待的集结了5个人一起玩儿“对抗海水”。有的用手,有的用脚,有人挖沙子,有人加固沙堡,可谓是调配得当啊!可是看上去坚固的沙堡在海水面前却显得很脆弱:海水一冲上来沙堡的底部就少了很多沙子,这时我们就要用大量的干沙子来填充弥补!这样海水刚冲上来几次我们就忙的手脚并用了,该补的补,该修的修,但最还是没有海水的速度快,很快海水胜利了。我们的城堡在海水中慢慢消失了,但是这份美好的记忆却留在了我们的心里。我们要走了,要离开威基基海滩,要离开夏威夷了,心中很是不舍,带着心中的不舍我们走了!

第三天我们从夏威夷走了,坐飞机还去了洛杉矶,波士顿,纽约,纽黑文,和华盛顿。但是最令我留恋和喜欢的地方就得数洛杉矶的迪士尼乐园啦!盼望着,盼望着,洛杉矶来了,迪士尼的脚步近了!经过了漫长的颠簸终于到了迪士尼了,全车人都沸腾了,唯独老师还那么淡定,还不忘叮嘱我们:“别一会儿玩的忘了时间,守时最重要啊!”,老师刚发完票,我和我的好朋友就一起冲进了迪士尼。当我们看好多人都往一个方向走时就使了一个小聪明:反方向走!果然不出我们所料,我们到地方没有那么多人排队,还没有一个小时,我们就玩儿了好几个项目,比其他人快很多,我们同行四个人连连称赞这条路选的好。就这样我们来到了矿山车这里,“矿山车,玩儿这个吧!”我提议说。四人一致通过,我们向矿山车进发!到了那儿,我们谁都没说话,只是互相对视了一眼,立刻默契的像箭一样冲了过去。说着,笑着,走着,我们兴奋地坐上了车,大家都很期待,每个人都想体验一下矿山车,我们坐下后都很轻松的说笑着,突然车子以迅雷不及掩耳之势冲了出去,我“啊”的大叫出来,这时只看到两边的物体和人飞一般的闪过去,耳旁的风也呼呼的,所有的物体都几乎看不清了!车子不断地急转弯,我们的身体也跟着车子一起倾斜,感觉好像要飞出去了。“哇,好快啊!”同学们都被惊住了,“抓好啦,一个大斜坡儿!”我们所有人都忍不住尖叫起来,车子带着我们在空中不断的飞翔,有一种要飞向天空的感觉,我的围巾随着风左摆右摆,要飞出去了我下意识的伸手把它抓住了,我吓出了一身冷汗。一只手抓着扶手,一只手高举拿着围巾,它在空中飘舞着!车上的叫喊声一次高过一次,虽然开始很害怕但是我们慢慢适应后感觉很爽,就在我们沉浸其中的时候,矿山车停止了,车子平稳了。我们有些意犹未尽。从车上下来我们四人异口同声的感叹着:“爽”!接着我们又去玩了其它的项目,美好的时光总是过得很快,转眼间,黄昏来了,我们要走了“迪士尼”,再见吧!

美国之行结束了,但是那里的人们那里欢笑,还有一路上的同学情谊,都让我难以忘怀,通过这次美国旅游我感受到了不同国家的文化差异,切身感受了夏威夷美丽的威基基海滩……坐飞机回到了中国,心里默念着:再见吧!美国!再见吧,寒假!

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%.

科罗拉多峡谷位于美国亚利桑那州西北部,全长466千米,平均宽度16千米,最深处有2133米,是世界自然界七大奇迹之一,据说在太空中的宇航员,就可以看到大峡谷。

今天我和爸爸妈妈一起来到了大峡谷游玩。因为大峡谷非常大,所以我们决定坐直升机来欣赏大峡谷。工作人员根据体重来安排座位,因为我最轻,所以幸运的坐到了驾驶员的旁边,是视线最好的位置。直升机是直接原地起飞,非常刺激,15分钟后,飞机逐渐平稳下来,原来我们已经到达大峡谷的上空了。视线所及,左右全是岩石,层层叠叠,形成非常高达雄伟的山峦,飞机上看峡谷,有种穿行的感觉。很快,飞机到达峡谷底部,我们坐上一艘小船开始水上看峡谷的旅程。

坐在船上,左边一块块岩石像金字塔一样有序的排列着,而峡谷的另一边则是不同的风景,岩石是一层一层叠起来,条纹非常好看,靠近水面的岩石被水腐蚀成一块一块的岩石块,但是仍整齐的排列着。船行两岸,风光雄伟壮丽,让人难忘!

短暂的航行结束了,我们返回出发点,又开始乘坐摆渡车,直接与大峡谷亲密接触。老鹰岩和蝙蝠洞各有各的看点,老鹰岩像一只展翅高飞的老鹰,是当地印第安人祈福祝祷的地方。

大峡谷的水陆空之旅结束了,美丽的时光虽然短暂,却会让我永葆记忆。

今天下午,我们去了一个城堡似的美术馆。这个美术馆里展览着许多中国著名画家的水粉画,有画含苞欲放或是蓬勃盛开的美丽荷花的,有画活灵活现活蹦乱跳的鱼虾的,有画粉粉嫩嫩人见人爱的桃花的,有画柳枝条条婀娜多姿的柳树的……

正当我兴致勃勃地观赏这些妙手丹青,甚至有些陶醉其中时,突然听到别人说这些中国名画都是一些霸道的美国佬从中国抢回来的,还有一些是美国人们用两三个包子从私藏国家名画的中国人手里换来,然后交给国家博物馆的。耻辱啊耻辱……听了这些话,我不免有些扫兴。

不过我转念一想,发现这些中国的妙手丹青到了美国依旧可以让五湖四海的人参观、欣赏,而且他们也知道这些画“made in china”,这也挺好的。但我还是希望以后,能再把它们夺回中国,毕竟它们是中国画,应该出现在中国的美术馆里。
