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.

How things have changed!I1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling.Few Americans attribute this Self doubt has yielded to blind pride.American industry has changed its structure ,has gone on a diet ,has learnt to be more quik witted,according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvards Kennedy School of Government.It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving theirproductivity,says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute ,a think tank in Washington,DC,And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this perido as a golden age of business management in the United States.

I see a show about painting. An exhibition at a private art gallery is a way of introducing a new artist to the public .

The idea is to stage an event that will create interest in the artist and stimulate sales of his or her work. Exhibitions of painting , sculpture, and photography at public museums and galleries are different from private showings.

The works exhibited at public museums are by established, well-known artists. Many exhibitions include works from the museum’s permanent collection—that is, works owned by the museum.

Last year, I went to Guilin for travel, it was a great trip for me. I not only had a look at the beautiful scenery, but also made friends. I knew a lovely girl from America, we met each other on the train. As we were almost at the same age, we communicated a lot. We shared our opinion about the culture and learned a lot. When our train reached the destination, we needed to separate, we promised to keep in touch by the Internet. Now a year has passed, we make our promise and keep in touch all the time. I have improved my English and she is so interested in China. It seems that we can never finish our topic, because we always have so much to share with each other. I am so lucky to make a good friend.

去年,我去了桂林旅游,对我来说这是一次完美的旅行。我不仅看了美丽的风景,也交到了朋友。我认识了一个可爱的来自美国的女孩,我们在火车上相遇。由于我们几乎在同一个年龄,我们交流了很多。我们分享各自的文化,学到了很多。当火车到达目的地时,我们要分开了,我们承诺通过网络保持联系。现在一年过去了,我们旅行了承诺,保持着联系。我提高了我的英语,她对中国也感兴趣。似乎我们总有说不完的话题,因为我们总是有那么多东西要相互分享。我很幸运交到了一个好朋友。

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.

There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

The human race has entered a completely new stage in its history,along with

the advance of the society and the increaceingly rapid economic globalization

and urbanization, which resulted in the phenomenon that we are accustomed to

living a very fast rhythm lifestyle,ignoring the Chinese traditional

culture.

It is universally acknowledged that Chinese culture has a history of more

than two thousand years, which once had great influence on the world, such as

Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European countries. As one of the four

ancient civilizations,China creates many splendid cultures,such as the four

ancient Chinese inventions,which benefited human society in the history.

Although China risks copying the Western lifestyle’s worst aspects,

especially of unhealthy eating and drinking,Which once gave rise to many

problems.Fortunately,Chinese begin to realize the importance of Chinese

traditional culture.Such examples might be given easily,Chinese traditional

culture was added into our CET4 and CET6 ,which help us get hold of it

better.

June 6th Thursday Sunny

This afternoon a young American friend called Mike came to our school. He visited our lab, library and school factory. At five oclock he had a free talk with some of my classmates. I was lucky to be one of them.

Mike spoke English slowly and carefully, so we could understand what he said. We talked about our English study for about an hour. Before he left our school, I asked him in English, "What do you think of our school?" He answered with a smile, "Oh, its wonderful!"

This is the first time for me to talk with a foreigner in English. English is really userful.

今天下午一位叫迈克的美国朋友来到了我校。他参观了我们的实验室、图书馆和校办工厂。在5点钟他和我班的一些同学座谈，我有幸称为其中的一名。

迈克的英语讲得很慢，很认真，所以我们能听懂他说的话。关于英语学习情况我们聊了大约一个小时。在他离校之前，我用英语问他：“你认为我们学校怎么样？”他面带微笑回答：“好极了！”

这是我第一次用英语同老外谈话，英语真的挺有用。

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。

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。

The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., and America, is a country in North America that shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and a sea border with Russia. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the United States is a federal republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C.

The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by indigenous tribes.[1] After European exploration and settlement in the 16th century, the English established their own colonies—and gained control of others that had been begun by other European nations—in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence. In 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district; it also has numerous overseas territories.

At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.5 million km²), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by total area, depending on whether the disputed areas of China are included. It is the worlds third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.

The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on 1 March 1781 and the Constitution, the Articles replacement, on 17 September 1787. American military, economic, cultural, and political influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the worlds sole remaining superpower.[2] Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.

The earliest known use of the name America is from 1507, when a globe and a large map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Die-des-Vosges described the combined continents of North and South America. Although the origin of the name is uncertain[3], the most widely held belief is that expressed in an accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, which explains it as a feminized version of the Latin name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius); in Latin, the other continents names were all feminine. Vespucci theorized, correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on reaching islands in the Caribbean Sea in 1492, had come not to India but to a "New World".

The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital. Columbia remained a popular name for the United States until the early 20th century, when it fell into relative disuse; but it is still used poetically and appears in various names and titles. A female personification of the country is also called Columbia; she is similar to Britannia.[4][5][6][7] Columbus Day, a holiday in the U.S. and other countries in the Americas commemorating Columbus October 1492 landing.

The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on 4 July 1776. On 15 November 1777, the Second Continental Congreadopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be The United States of America."

The adjectival and demonymic forms for the United States are American, a point of controversy among some.

美利坚合众国,也被称为美国,美国,美国美国,是一个在北美国家,陆地边界与加拿大和墨西哥,和一个与俄罗斯的海上边界。从大西洋到太平洋,美国是一个联邦共和国,为首都的华盛顿特区

当今美国大陆已经居住了至少15000年的土著部落。[1]在16世纪欧洲的探索和殖民之后,英国建立了自己的殖民地和控制他人所开始较之其他欧洲大陆的东部地区在17和18世纪早期。1776年7月4日,在战争与英国公平治理,十三个殖民地宣布独立。在1783年战争结束后在英国接受的新国家。自那以来,中国已超过四倍大小:现在由50个州和一个联邦地区;它还有众多的海外领土。

²超过370万平方英里(370万多公里),美国是第三或第四大的国家,面积,取决于中国的争议地区。它是世界上第三人口最多的国家,有近3亿人。

美国一直保持着自由民主政治体系的文章,因为它采用了联盟1781年3月1日,宪法,文章的更换,1787年9月17日。美国的军事、经济、文化和政治影响力增加贯穿整个20世纪,随着苏联解体,冷战结束,美国成为这个世界剩下的唯一超级大国。今天[2],它在世界事务中扮演着重要的角色。

最早使用的名称美国从1507年开始,当一个截止阀和一个大地图创建的瓦尔德泽米勒所绘制德国地理学家马丁在Saint-Die-des-Vosges描述了北美和南美大陆。虽然名字的起源是不确定的[3],最普遍的信仰是表示在一本书,Cosmographiae Introductio,这也解释了它作为一个女性化版本的拉丁名字的意大利探险家阿美利哥韦斯普奇(绒毛Vespucius);在拉丁语中,其他大陆的名字都是女性。韦斯普奇的理论正确,克里斯托弗·哥伦布到达1492年在加勒比海岛屿,已经不是印度,而是一个“新的世界”。

美洲也被称为哥伦比亚,在哥伦布,促使土地的名字特区留出随着美国资本。美国哥伦比亚大学仍然是一个受欢迎的名字,直到20世纪初,当它落入相对废弃;但它仍然是用诗意和出现在不同的名字和头衔。国家也被称为哥伦比亚的女性化身,她是类似于不列颠。哥伦布日,假期在美国和其他国家在美洲纪念哥伦布1492年10月着陆。

“美利坚合众国”这个词第一次被使用在《独立宣言》正式通过1776年7月4日。1777年11月15日,第二届大陆Congreadopted联盟的文章,第一个表示“本联盟的阶梯美利坚合众国。”

形容词的和demonymic形式对美国是美国人,在一些争议。

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.

导语：在现代,每到逢年过节之时,许多人还是保留着贴剪纸的习俗,尤其是在北方地区。剪纸艺术意义深远,起源于中国,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Dear Eric,

You want to know about Chinese paper cut. Here Im glad to tell you something about it.

Chinese paper cut has a long history of over 2,000 years. It can be seen in different parts of China. Many people, no matter young or old, are fond of it.

People in northern part of China do well in making paper cut. They cut paper into different shapes, like birds, animals, flowers and so on.

I think Chinese paper cuts are not only beautiful but also very useful. People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrate something happy, especially for the Spring Festival. More and more people are interested in it. I hope youll come to China to see more Chinese paper cuts one day.

Best wishes

亲爱的Eric，

你想知道关于中国剪纸的。在这里我很高兴告诉你一些关于它的事。

中国剪纸有着悠久的历史，有2000多年的历史。在中国的不同地区可以看到它。许多人，不管是年轻人还是老年人，都喜欢它。

中国北方地区的人们在造纸时做的很好。他们把纸张切成不同的形状，像鸟、动物、花等等。

我认为中国剪纸不仅漂亮而且非常有用。人们通常把他们放在门或窗户上，当他们庆祝的东西，特别是春节的时候。越来越多的人对它感兴趣。我希望你能来中国看更多的中国剪纸一天。

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!

Every year, when the Spring Festival comes, which is the biggest festival in China, Chinese people from all over the world will come back to their hometown and spend the day together. For me, as I grow up, I am not that excited about spring festival as I was a kid did. But it is true that this day let people stay together no matter how busy and how far they are. I barely have chances to see my relatives, but in Spring Festival, we will have dinner and talk the whole night. It is such a great moment for us to cherish. The meaning of Spring Festival is important for everyone.

每年，中国最大的节日春节到来的时候，来自世界各地的华人都会回到家乡，一起度过这一天。对我来说，长大之后我对春节就不像小时候那样兴奋了。但是春节确实会让大家都聚在一起，不管有多忙，多远。我很少有机会见得到我的亲戚，但我们会在春节一起吃晚饭，聊天聊上一整晚。这是一个值得我们珍惜的伟大时刻。春节的意义对每个人来说都是重要的。

There really is no place like New York City.As says,it has diversity,energy,and attitude -- available 24 hours a day. Youll never be bored here.This is an international fashion capital with the hottest dining scene in the country and some of the best theater options you could ever find.Plus,nearly the entire city is covered in some of the most recognizable icons in the country,including the lights of Times Square and the unmistakable Empire State Building.If you live in a major East Coast city,chances are youll be able to get to New York for relatively cheap by bus -- BoltBus and Megabus are just a couple companies that transfer visitors to NYC for cheap.The buzzing Big Apple allures people today just as it always has.See,not only is NYC the most populous city in the U.S.-- filled with everyone from bohemian artists to investment bankers -- its also at the forefront of food,fashion,the arts and nightlife (it is,after all,the city that never sleeps).But perhaps youre turned off by images of clogged streets and cacophonous cabs,the chaotic (at best) Times Square and the claustrophobic feeling of walking amongst soaring skyscrapers.You might also object to the many must-see attractions -- the Empire State Building,the Statue of Liberty,the Brooklyn Bridge and more.

带翻译：

真的是没有像纽约这样的地方。说，它的多样性、能源和态度——一天24小时可用。你永远不会感到无聊。这是一个国际时尚之都最热门的美食国家和一些最好的剧院选项你能找到。另外，几乎整个城市都是在这个国家的一些最知名的图标，包括时代广场的灯光和帝国大厦。如果你住在东海岸的一个主要城市，那么你就可以乘公共汽车去纽约相对便宜——BoltBus公司和Megabus只是几个游客转移到纽约对廉价的公司。嗡嗡作响的大苹果今天一样总是吸引人。看到的，不仅是在美国纽约人口最多的城市——充满了每个人从放荡不羁的艺术家到投资银行家——这也是食物的最前沿，时尚，艺术和夜生活(毕竟，不夜城)。但也许你关掉的图像堵塞众声喧哗的街道和出租车，混乱的(最好的)时代广场和幽闭的感觉行走在高耸的摩天大楼。您可能还反对许多必看景点——帝国大厦、自由女神像、布鲁克林大桥等等。

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。

Nowadays with the ever rapid development and increasing popularity of the information technology , shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially among the youngsters.

Online shopping has made our daily life more convenient and comfortable. For example , shopping on the internet can save students a great deal of time on the way between home and store, so they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic work. The internet has shorten the distance between manufacturers and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other countries .On the other hand , lack of the face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. What’ s more the delivery will increase the risk of items’ damage.

In my opinion, shopping on the internet is a irreversible trend. More and more people will be accustomed to it. It will be much more popular in the near future. And at the same time we should take some measures to make it perfect.

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, because modern science and technology facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture, especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it couldnt 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.

Caucus goers met at sites around the state to show support for their candidate and be counted in the first contest of the 2016 Presidential nominating cycle.

This year the Iowa caucuses drew many first-time caucus-goers.

John Clark is one of them. He says that he took the time to caucus in order to make his voice heard.

"I feel like its part of being American as you get the chance to do this, you get the chance to say what you believe in, and have a voice and vote."

Thanking his supporters, Ted Cruz relished in a major victory over Donald Trump, the national poll leader.

"Iowa has sent notice that the republican nominee in the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not be chosen by the Washington establishment, will not be chose by the lobbyists but will be chosen by the most incredible power for force where all sovereignty resides in our nation by we the people, the American people."

Trump is a controversial figure among Iowa voters.

"I think he can bring the rights to change the government back to the people."

"I can say I will not be supporting Trump. Our views just dont agree. I believe in equality and respect for all people and I dont think he does."

Despite a disappointing second place finish for the often bombastic real-estate mogul, Trump was gracious in conceding defeat.

"I am really honored. And I want to congratulate Ted and I want to congratulate all of the incredible candidates including Mike Huckabee."

Analysts say that Florida Senator Marco Rubio is likely to enjoy increased momentum going forward.

Rubio finished a solid third, just one percentage point behind Trump but well ahead of the rest of the GOP field.

Hillary Clinton endured a nail-biter of a night that finished in a virtual tie with Bernie Sanders.

Clinton says she will keep fighting on in her address to supporters.

"I want you to know I will keep doing what I have done my entire life. I will keep standing up for you. I will keep fighting for you. I will always work to achieve the America that I believe in where the promise of that dream that we hold out to our children and our grandchildren never fades but inspires generations to come. Join me, lets go win the nomination."

Although for many, tonight is just the beginning of a long slog to the two major parties national conventions in August, it also marks the end of the line for candidates who failed to gain traction.

Two contenders: Maryland Governor Martin OMalley and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, dropped out after poor showings today in Iowa.
