Immigrants,19/62,The Map of U.S.A,20/62,1 General Geographic Characteristics of America,21/62,The United States is situated in North America between Canada and Mexico,bordering both the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean.The position of America has always been one of its chief assets.Over 2,000 miles from Europe and 7,000 miles from Asia,it was long isolated from the conflicts of these troubled continents.It thus offered itself a heaven for those who wished to seek a new life free of restrictions.Not surprisingly,many of the first settlers were Separatists,anxious to separate themselves out from the established churches of Western Europe.,What do you think of the geological position?,22/62,States,original 48 states,Alaska and Hawaii,separated from the continent,became the 49th and 50th states in 1959.,Alaska borders on northwestern Canada,Hawaii lies in the central Pacific Ocean,Alaskathe largest,Rhode Islandthe smallest,Texasthe largest on the mainland,23/62,As we all know,America is composed of many racial and ethnic groups.It is a nation of immigrants.In the last four centuries,55 million people have immigrated to this country,representing the largest movement of human beings to any one place in the history of mankind.In the late1990s,for example,it was estimated that about 1 million legal immigrants,plus additional 500,000 illegal immigrants,arrived in the United States every year.Without an adequate understanding of population make-up in the United States,it is virtually impossible to grasp the complexity and subtlety of its national character,2.People-A Nation of Immigrants,24/62,Nation of Immigrants,The White,74.7%,Asians 4.3%,The Black,12.1%,Mixed Races,2.5%,Native Indians&,Hawaiians,0.9%,The United States is the third most populous nation in the world,ranking behind China and India.According to the U.S.Census Bureau,the resident population reached a milestone on Oct.17,hitting 300 million.,25/62,Asian immigrantsChinese,Among the Asian immigrants,the Chinese were the first Asians to come to the United States.Beginning in 1847,when young male peasants came to work in America in mines,on railroads,and in agricultural fields,the Chinese gradually ran into economic and cultural fears of the white majority.Facing this,the Chinese did not try to assimilate but instead gravitated to“,Chinatowns,(Audio),”.,26/62,Discriminatory immigration and naturalization retractions,imposed beginning in1882,were not removed until the end of World War II.Since that time the Chinese has moved into the mainstream of American society,and they are beginning to move into politics.,Now the Chinese-Americans are about 800,000.They have proved to be industrious and intelligent.Many of them have found high-income positions.The employment rate and average income of Chinese-American families are now higher than the national average.They have come to be viewed as a model minority,clean and hard working.,27/62,The Nobel Prize Winners of Chinese Descendent,李政道1926年生于上海，美籍华人，1957年获诺贝尔物理学奖，时年31岁；,杨振宁:1922年生于安徽，美籍华人，1957年获获诺贝尔物理学奖，时年35岁；,丁肇中:1936年生于美国，美籍华人，1976年获获诺贝尔物理学奖，时年40岁；,李远哲:1936年生于台湾，美籍华人，1986年获诺贝尔获化学奖，时年50岁；,朱棣文:1948年生于美国，美籍华人，1997年获诺贝尔获物理学奖，时年49岁；,崔 琦:1939年生于河南，美籍华人，1998年获诺贝尔获物理学奖，时年59岁；,高行健:1948年生于江西，法国国籍，获诺贝尔文学奖，时年52岁。,28/62,3 American Cultural Values,The United States,like any other country,has a national culture.All people born and raised in this country have been strongly conditioned by it.This does not mean that they will all be alike,nor does it mean that Americans think in the same way.It does mean,however,that among Americans of all regions,national origins,races,classes,and both sexes,there are some points of likeness in acting and thinking that turn up more frequently than among groups of people in other countries.The following characteristics are primarily drawn from classes of the middle levels of income and status,for it is this sector of the population that most eloquently articulates the American cultural values.,29/62,Cultural Differences,1.opinion,frankness,2.Way of Life,Individualism,Self-raliance,30/62,3.Punctuality,4.Interpersonal,Relationship,31/62,5.On Kids,6.The boss,human equality,32/62,9.On handling problems,10.In the restaurant,33/62,7.Life of the elderly,8.Transportation,34/62,The Cluture of Its Own,Probably above eveything else,American consider themselves individuals.There are strong family ties and string,loyalties,to groups,but,individuality,and individual rights are most important.If this seems like a selfish attitude,it also leads Americans to an honest respect for other individuals and an insistence(,坚持,),on human,equality,.,35/62,Related to this respect for individuality are American traits of,independence,and,self-reliance,.From an early age,children are taught to“stand on their own two feet”,an idiom meaning to be independent.,Honesty,and,frankness,are two more aspects of American individuality,and they are more important to Americans than personal honor or“saving face”.,36/62,Americans place a high value on,achievement,and this leads them to constantly,compete,against each other.You will find friendly,and not-so-friendly,comeptition everywhere.Americans can also be obsessed(,时刻困扰,;,缠住,),with records of achievement in sports,in business,or even in more mundane(,平凡,平淡,),things.On the other hand,even if Americans are often competitive,they also have a good sense of teamwork and of cooperating with others to achieve a specific goal.,37/62,Americans are often accused of being,materialistic,and dreiven to succeed.How much money a peson has,how much profit a business deal makes,or how many material goods an individual accumulates is often their definition of success.This goes back to American competitiveness.Many Americans,however,do not agree with this definition to success;they enjoy lifes simple pleasures and are neither overly ambitious nor aggressive.Many Americans are materially successful and still have time to appreciate the cultureal,spiritual,and human aspects of life.,38/62,Multi-cultural;diverse,The Melting Pot,The United States is a nation of many ethnic groups,making it a“melting pot”,meaning immigrants from different nations all over the world have combined to make one nation,the American.,They speak almost the same kind of English with far less class or regional variety than in Britain.,They have similar habits and manner.,39/62,The Salad Bowl,Since 1960s,a lot of scholars oppose against the term“melting pot”.They think America is similar to a Salad Bowl,every culture can find its position in American society.Multiculturalism is the symbol of America.,40/62,Famous Symbols of American Culture,The Statue of Liberty,In the mid-1870s,French artist Frederic,Auguste Bartholdi,(,巴托尔迪,弗雷德里克,奥古斯特,),was working on an,enormous project called Liberty Enlightening,the World,a monument celebrating US,independence and the France-America alliance.,At the same time,he was in love with a,woman whom he had met in Canada.His,mother could not approve of her sons,affection for a woman she had never met,but,Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in,1876.,41/62,That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statues right arm and torch,and displayed them in Philadelphia.It is said that he had used his wifes arm as the model,but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue.He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength,someone more severe than beautiful.He chose his mother.,The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on an island in Upper New York Bay,(,上纽约湾,),in 1886.It had his mothers face and his wifes body,but Bartholdi called it my daughter,Liberty.,42/62,自由女神像是1876年美国建国百周年时法国送生日礼品，历时才完工。塑像总高93米，重225吨，耸立在纽约港一个岛上。自由女神身披飘逸长袍，右手高举点燃火炬，左手持一标有1776年7月4日美国独立宣言发表日铭板。头冠上有七支像宝剑一样突出物，代表着七个海洋和七块大陆。在女神像基座上刻着俄国犹太移民女诗人埃玛拉扎勒斯感人诗句：,Statue of Liberty,Liberty Enlightening the World,43/62,Give me your tired your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.,Send these,the homeless,tempest-tossed to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!,欢迎你，那些疲乏了和贫困，,挤在一起渴望自由呼吸大众，,那熙熙攘攘被遗弃了，,可怜人们。,把这些无家可归,饱受颠沛人们,一起交给我。,我站在金门口，,高举起自由灯火,!,Huddle:v.,拥挤,Yearn:v.,渴望，想念,Wretched:adj.,可怜，不幸,Teeming:adj.,丰富，充满,44/62,Barbie,Before all the different types of Barbie dolls for,sale now,there was just a single Barbie.Actually,her name was Barbara.,Barbara Handler was the daughter of Elliot and,Ruth Handler,co-founders of the Mattel Toy,Company.Ruth came up with the idea for Barbie,after watching her daughter play with paper dolls.,The three-dimensional model for Barbie was a,German doll a joke gift for adults described as,having the appearance of a woman who sold sex.Mattel refashioned the doll into a decent,all-,American although with an exaggerated breast,size version and named it after Barbara,who,was then a teenager,.,45/62,Since her introduction in 1959,Barbie has become the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls.Mattel says the average American girl owns ten Barbie dolls,and two are sold somewhere in the world every second.,Now more than sixty years old,Barbara who declines interviews but is said to have loved the doll-may be the most famous unknown figure on the planet.,Barbies boyfriend,Ken,was introduced in 1961 and named after Barbaras brother.The real Ken,who died in 1994,was disgusted by the doll that made his family famous.I dont want my children to play with it,he said in 1993.,46/62,American Gothic,Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic,an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers.The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse.He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse,but the faces in his composition were what captured the worlds attention.,47/62,Wood liked to paint faces he knew well.For the grave farmer he used his dentist,a sour-looking man.For the woman standing alongside him,the artist chose his sister,Nan.He stretched the models necks a bit,but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait.Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life.,48/62,49/62,The Buffalo Nickel,野牛镍币,Today,American coins honor prominent figures of the US government mostly famous former presidents.But the Buffalo nickel,produced from 1913 to 1938,honored a pair of connected tragedies from the settlement of the American frontier the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians.,While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins,famed artist James Ea
