How do you know about Chinatown? Can you give me some advice and information to help me know more about Chinatown?Ss: Firstly, it is the place where the Chinese immigrants live. Secondly, you canexplore the interesting sights,experience traditional Chinese culture, go shopping, eat Chinese food, and so on.Step ⅠWhile readingCultural NoteThe Dragon Gate is the most photographed site in San Francisco’s Chinatown.The gate was designed by three Chinese-American architects in 1967 using traditional Chinese village gates for inspiration.The Tin How Temple is the oldest Taoist temple in Chinatown,and one of the oldest Chinese temples in the United States.The temple was built in 1852,but then destroyed by the 1906 earthquake.The image of the goddess Mazu was preserved,as well as part of the altar and the bell.These were relocated to the top floor of a building constructed on the site of the old temple.The Bank of Canton is actually the old Chinese Telephone Exchange,a traditional Chinese-style building constructed in 1894.When the telephone was first introduced,there was no way to dial a number.Instead,you would have to talk to a switchboard operator (nearly always a woman),tell her the telephone number of the person you wanted to talk to,and she would manually connect you to the person you wanted to call using an electric plug.However,Chinese residents thought it was impolite to use a number to refer to a person,so the switchboard operators in Chinatown had to know all the names and addresses of everyone in Chinatown so they would know who to connect people to.They also had to know five dialects of Chinese and speak English.Like many buildings in Chinatown,the Chinese Telephone Exchange was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake,but it was quickly rebuilt.However,in 1949 it was closed when dial telephones made switchboards unnecessary.Portsmouth Square,now a public park,is the site of San Francisco’s first public square,built in the early 19th century.While many important historical events related to California and San Francisco occurred in the square before Chinatown was established or grew in size,the site is now very much considered an integral part of Chinatown.The Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson (1850—1894) lived in San Francisco briefly between 1879—1880,and spent much time in Portsmouth Square during his stay there.There is a monument in his honour in the park.Activity 1Prediction1.Look at the title and picture and predict what kind of article is this?2.Who are the target readers?3.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this text?Suggested answers:1.This is an introduction to Chinatown in San Francisco.2.Visitors.3.To introduce a diverse cultural Chinatown in San Francisco to visitors.Activity 2 Reading for main ideaRead the text quickly and match the main idea of the passage.Para.1 A.The characteristic of Chinatown.Para.2 B.The history of Chinatown.Para.3 C.The introduction of Chinatown’s shops and products.Para.4 D.The origin of Chinatown.Para.5 E.The existence value of Chinatown.Para.6 F.The famous food and drinks of Chinatown.Suggested answers:Para.1:A Para.2:D Para.3:B Para.4:C Para.5:F Para.6:EActivity 3 Reading for detailsRead the passage again and answer the questions.1.What are the famous tourist sites in the Chinatown of San Francisco?2.Which is the best season to visit the Chinatown in San Francisco?3.What else can you do there?Suggested answers:1.Dragon Gate,Tin How Temple,Bank of Canton,and Portsmouth Square.2.All year round.3.We can explore the interesting sights,experience traditional Chinese culture,goshopping,eat Chinese food,and so on.Activity 4Reading for organisation and language featuresRead the text again and study the organisation and language feature.1.What information is included in the introduction?

city high up in the mountains of Yunnan,near the borders of Sichuan and Tibet.It was an important stop on the Ancient Tea and Horse Road,which connected central China with Myanmar and India,transporting not just tea but also silk and other goods.Lijiang’s Old Town,with a history of over 800 years,is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Today,Lijiang is mostly known for its ethnic minority culture,especially the culture of the Naxi ethnic group.The Naxi are famous for their Dongba culture.They have their own unique written language that uses pictures and symbols.They also create beautiful arts and crafts,and are well known for their singing and dancing.Strolling around the Old Town,one can witness Naxi life much as it was hundreds of years ago.One can also try traditional Naxi food,including the air-dried pork liver,Naxi baba (a kind of flat bread),and Naxi hot pot.But if you really want to see Naxi traditional culture,it is best to visit during the Torch Festival,which usually occurs in the summer.During the festival,the streets are full of torches,bonfires,and lots of people singing and dancing.While the main ethnic group living in the area is the Naxi,there are also at least 19 other ethnic groups,including Yi,Lisu,Bai,Tibetan,and Pumi.It is easy to arrange a short homestay with an ethnic minority family to learn more about their way of life.Just outside the city,there are beautiful mountains,meadows,lakes,rivers,and gorges,offering plenty of opportunities to go hiking,kayaking,or rafting.Like much of Yunnan,the weather is always fairly mild in Lijiang,so it is fine to visit throughout the year.Lijiang can be easily reached by airplane or train,and visitors can hire bikes or cars to explore the area.It is the perfect place for tourists to experience the colourful culture of China’s ethnic minorities.StepⅠEvaluating and polishing the draft1.Exchange drafts with a e the checklist to give feedback on your partner’s draft.2.Get your draft back and revise it.3.Put up your introduction in your classroom or share it with the class.StepⅠHomework书面表达：请阅读下面有关中国题材纪录片(documentary)的对话，并按照要求用英语写一篇150个词左右的文章。

Unit3 美国人的酷爱我父亲是别克人。
在经济大萧条以前，他本是史达兹人。
然而，就像成千上万经济状况处于上升阶段的有车族一样，那场可悲的经济逆转使他们非得调整对汽车的胃口不可。
到他死的时候，他开过的那些别克轿车就不只是普通意义上的交通工具了，而且将父亲定位于这样的社会阶层——比庞蒂亚克人富有，但比不上克迪拉克人。
拥有别克轿车让人一看便知父亲的社会地位。
与别克人相当的还有福特人和克莱斯勒人。
我们美国人与汽车的特殊缘分，其坚实的基础就在于对一种轿车品牌的忠诚，这种忠诚因其来之不易而倍受珍惜。
·这就是爱吗?也许用词过分，可美国人对这些机器的尊重甚过所有其他机器——不仅将它们视为20世纪雕塑大观中的标志，而且还将它们视为社会的护身符。
我记忆中的第一辆别克车是一辆闪闪发亮的黑色轿车，椅子的衬垫是厚厚的马海毛，离合器拉杆是新式的。
我父亲爱吹嘘说这辆车一小时能跑120英里。
一想到这样的速度就会令男人们兴奋不已。
我照着家里的菲尔可牌收音机盒里播出的格林，霍利特驾驶的那个神秘机器的名字，给这头漂亮的牲口取了个名副其实的绰号——黑美驹。
20世纪中，电话、电视或者个人电脑，这一切都使人类环境发生了巨大变化。
然而，与电话、电视、电脑不同的是，汽车却享有人格化的地位。
有些汽车可以成为家庭成员，机械宠物。
我们给汽车起名字，在自己·家的车道上精心打扮汽车，在汽车不能满足我们的需要时诅咒它们。
在折旧换新之时为旧车的离去而悲哀。
人们对汽车的热爱让环境保护者、安全为重的倡导者以及社会工程师们感到不安。
他们认为通往人间天堂的道路应该到处都铺设公交运输所必备的发亮轨道。
他们想象着我们加入未来拥挤不堪的自行车行列，而不是像一位激动不已的评论家所预见的那样，坐在“傲慢的双轮马车”方向盘后。
这种态度不是现在才有的。
首先是铁路，接着是汽车造成的人口流动早已使得守旧的特权阶层感到不安。
在战场上有过辉煌，但却以鄙视下层民众而出名的威林顿公爵在150年前就曾反对英国发展铁路，这是因为火车只会怂恿普通人毫无意义地到处走动。

【英语国家概况】【USA 美国黑人】
However,long after 1865,the dominant whites in most of the South were still finding ways of excluding black citizens from real equality. 然而，1865后不久，在大多数南方白人占主导地位的仍然 是从寻找真正的平等不包括黑人公民的途径。
The status of Black now
Discrimination against blacks, both in admission to all public places and in employment, is now illegal. While formal discriminations have decreased and old forms of segregations have been dismantled, subtle patterns of informal discrimination in housing, employment, education and virtually every social sphere still persists. 对黑人的歧视，无论是在进入所有公共场所和就业， 现在是非法的。虽然正式的歧视已经减少和旧形式 的偏析已被拆除，微妙的住房，就业，教育非正式 的歧视的模式和几乎所有社会领域仍然存在。
Martin Luther King
By the 1970, blacks were registered as voters in the South almost in the same proportion as whites, and many blacks were elected to important offices in southern states. Over the past three decades, blacks have been elected as mayors of several of the nation’s biggest cities, including Chicago and Washington, D.C.; others have been elected or appointed to many of the highest national and state offices in the South as well as in the North, including the Cabinet and the Supreme Court. There are now some thousands of black millionaires, not only athletes and entertainers, but also in business and other professions.

III Library work 1. The Leatherstocking Tales is a series of novels by American writer James Fenimore Cooper, each featuring the main hero Natty Bumppo, known by European settlers as "Leatherstocking," 'The Pathfinder", and "the trapper" and by the Native Americans as "Deerslayer," "La Longue Carabine" and "Hawkeye".
Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate, In fact violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr

她是美国人英语作文Title: Understanding the Essence of Being American。
In exploring the essence of being American, it'scrucial to delve beyond mere citizenship status and embrace the multifaceted layers that constitute the American identity. Being American transcends geographical boundaries; it embodies a spirit of resilience, diversity, and innovation that permeates through its people and culture.First and foremost, the American identity is deeply rooted in the principles of freedom and democracy. From the inception of the nation, the ideals of liberty, equality, and justice have been the cornerstone of American society. The American Revolution, fought for independence fromBritish rule, laid the foundation for a nation built on the belief in individual rights and collective progress.Moreover, diversity is a defining feature of the American experience. The United States is often referred toas a "melting pot" due to its rich tapestry of cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Immigrants from all cornersof the globe have sought refuge and opportunity on American shores, contributing their unique perspectives andtraditions to the nation's cultural mosaic. This diversityis not only celebrated but also serves as a source of strength, fostering innovation and creativity in various fields.Furthermore, the American Dream encapsulates the ethosof opportunity and upward mobility. Rooted in the beliefthat hard work and determination can lead to success, the American Dream has inspired generations of individuals to pursue their ambitions and overcome obstacles. While the notion of the American Dream may vary from person to person, its essence lies in the promise of a better future and the pursuit of happiness.In addition to its cultural and ideological foundations, America's global influence is undeniable. As a leading economic and political power, the United States plays a significant role in shaping global affairs and promotingdemocratic values worldwide. Its commitment to liberty and human rights has made it a beacon of hope for thosefighting against oppression and tyranny.Despite its achievements and ideals, America is not without its flaws. The nation has grappled with issues of inequality, racism, and social injustice throughout its history. However, it is through confronting these challenges head-on and striving for progress that the true spirit of America shines brightest.In conclusion, being American is more than just a legal designation; it is a complex tapestry of ideals, values, and experiences. It is a commitment to freedom, diversity, and opportunity, as well as a recognition of the ongoing journey toward a more perfect union. By embracing these principles and upholding the legacy of those who came before us, we honor the essence of what it truly means to be American.。
