"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas…"Have you heard that song? Yup! It's Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.
Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. That's why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.
Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynski's house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.
As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a party's on!
What's more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windows…everywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santa's hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.
Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didn't want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didn't make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.
Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.
Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!
We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books… I was very happy, and I didn't know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.
Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!
In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynski's brother, Uncle Stan's house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Niko's grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynski's parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.
After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

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 km), 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 world's 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 world's sole remaining superpower.[2] Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.
Nowadays, many people like to study abroad. Studying abroad is often considered as a great opportunity which will lead to bright future in one's ride of passage. Not only can we learn different cultures and knowledge from foreign countries, studying abroad can also enrich our lives.
One coin has two sides. Likewise, different people have different minds. Conservative and negative concerns about studying abroad have been gradually emerging from our society. People start to wonder what goes wrong with studying abroad. There are a couple of issues worth of our discussions.
Disadvantages of studying abroad may affect one's life culturally and economically. We Chinese will experience cultural shocks if we study abroad and live in another country. Some peers may not be able to adapt to a new environment of their studying and living, which may be very different from that of theirs. Life is beautiful, and it is hard. If one does not feel comfortable with the new culture of another country, he will not be happy about studying in that country.
In addition, studying abroad can cost students a great deal of living expenses. Some Chinese students are so academically successful that they receive scholarships in their studies. However, most peers who study abroad do not receive scholarships. Furthermore, they have to deal with many unexpected hardships by living away from their parents and homeland. For example, medical insurance, daily foods, clothes, rents and transportation can generate a large amount of living expenses. Often time, they need to heavily depend on their parents' overseas monthly payments.
現在，許多人喜歡出國留學。出國留學經常被認為是一個很好的機會，它能使人在旅途中獲得光明的未來。我們不僅可以從國外學習不同的文化和知識，出國留學也可以豐富我們的生活。
一枚硬幣有兩面。同樣，不同的人有不同的想法。對出國留學的保守和消極的關注已經逐漸從我們的社會中顯現出來。人們開始懷疑出國留學出了什麼問題。有幾個問題值得我們討論。
出國留學的不利因素可能影響文化和經濟生活。我們中國人如果出國留學，在國外生活，就會經歷文化衝擊。有些同齡人可能無法適應新的學習和生活環境，這可能與他們的學習環境大不相同。生活是美好的，是艱難的。如果一個人對另一個國家的新文化感到不舒服，他在那個國家學習不會感到高興。
此外，出國留學可能會給學生造成許多生活費。一些中國學生在學業上很成功，因此在學習中獲得獎學金。然而，大多數出國留學的同行都沒有獲得獎學金。此外，他們不得不遠離父母和祖國，應付許多意想不到的困難。例如，醫療保險、日常飲食、衣服、租金和交通運輸可以產生大量的生活費用。通常，他們需要在很大程度上依賴父母的海外月供。

But because the infirm refused. Inadvertently learned that Steve Rogers's 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 skull's 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 hasn't 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 - it's 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 you're a gun-nut before they've 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).
Today early in the morning, li hong would visit to San Francisco. Among them, li hong is the most impressive is the Intel museum.

What Is American Dream?
什麼是美國夢？
What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it simply a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?
什麼是美國夢？所有的美國人都是一樣的嗎？它是虛構的事嗎？它是為了追求更好的生活嗎？美國夢隨着時間是如何改變的？有些人的夢想破滅了而有些人卻實現了夢想。是什麼原因呢？每個人都有自己想要實現的夢想，你的夢想是什麼呢？
The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."
美國夢這個詞最早出現在詹姆斯·亞當斯1931年寫的《美國史詩》這本書中。他寫道：美國夢是指渴望生活在能夠讓人們生活豐裕富足的熱土上，每個人都有機會實現自己的價值。它是一個歐洲上流社會很難理解和體會的`夢想，並且我們中的相當多人對此持懷疑和不信任的態度。這個夢想不僅僅是擁有汽車和高工資，而且還應當包括這樣一種社會秩序，在這種秩序下，男人和女人不論他們出身如何，社會地位如何，都能最大程度地實現自己的潛能併為他人所認可和接受”。
In the united States' Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?
在美國的《獨立宣言》中，我們的創始人指出：“……所有的人人生而平等，創物主賦予他們若干不可剝奪的權利，這其中包括生命權，自由權和追求幸福的權利。”這一説法也許可能被視為美國夢的基礎？
Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?
農場主為了尋找幸福離開了東部的大城市，拋棄了他們在西部未知荒野上的土地，他們是在實現自己權利嗎？移民來到美國，是為了自己想要的生活，追求自由、幸福和夢想嗎？二戰老兵的願望又是什麼呢，安定下來，有居住的房子，汽車然後組建家庭——告訴我們這就是夢想？所有美國人都能實現美國夢嗎？馬丁·路德金會認為自己能夠夢想成真嗎？馬爾科姆·X實現自己的夢想了嗎？
High school is a very important stage for students around the world. Chinese students spend a lot of time studying and they think it is the hardest stage for them. But when we look at the high school in America, students feel much easier. People believe that study in America is an easy thing.
高中對於世界各地的學生來説都是非常重要的階段，中國學生花了很多時間在學習上，他們認為這是最困難的階段。但我們看看美國的高中，那裏的學生就輕鬆很多了。人們認為在美國學習是一件很容易的事情。
When we look at the screen, the school atmosphere is so lively. High school students always hang out with friends and take part in all kinds of parties, which seems that they don’t need to worry about their study. When we see this, we feel envious. How nice it would be if our school life is like this?
我們看向屏幕裏的校園，學校氣氛很活潑，高中生總是與朋友出去玩，參加各種各樣的聚會，似乎他們不需要擔心學習。當我們看到這個的時候，就會感到嫉妒，如果我們的學校生活是這樣那該有多好啊。
Actually, what we know about the American teenagers’ life is not true for all. Some high school students know they will not go to college and choose to enjoy the school life. While for some students who want to fight for the top college, they need to study very hard. At the same time, they also need to take part in some activities to cater for the college’s permission. So don’t be misled by the superficial phenomenon.
實際上，我們所瞭解的美國青少年的生活是不正確的。一些高中學生知道自己不會去上大學，所以選擇享受學校生活。而對於一些想要爭奪頂尖大學的學生，他們需要非常努力學習，同時，他們也需要參加一些活動來滿足大學的錄取條件。所以不要被表面現象所誤導。
