On the negative side, the belief in individualism has sometimes prevented Americans from using their government to solve their common problems. Americans prefer not to have government solutions to social problems.

The statue, which depicts Liberty throwing off her shackles and holding a beacon to light the world, was the creation of the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who crafted it a hundred years after the American Revolution in recognition of solidarity between the French and American people (though it's fair to add that Bartholdi originally intended the statue for Alexandria in Egypt). Bartholdi built Liberty in Paris between 1874 and 1884, starting with a terracotta model and enlarging it through four successive versions to its present size, a construction of thin copper sheets bolted together and supported by an iron framework designed by Gustave Eiffel. The arm carrying the torch was exhibited in Madison Square Park for seven years, but the whole statue wasn't officially accepted on behalf of the American people until 1884, after which it was taken apart, crated up and shipped to New York.

4. T hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people. Its history, and the history of the nation's capital, began when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress in December of 1790 declaring that the federal government would reside in a district "not exceeding ten miles square...on the river Potomac." President Washington, together with city planner Pierre L'Enfant, chose the site for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As preparations began for the new federal city, a competition was held to find a builder of the "President's House." Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design.

State Nicknames 美国州名别称

(一)美利坚合众国（the United States of America）是一个由五十个州和一个联邦直辖特区组成的宪政联邦共和制国家。

除了本名之外，这五十一个地区都有自己的别称。

那么，从本期开始，我们将一同了解这些有趣的名称以及它们背后的故事。

A nickname is a shortened form of a person’s name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing.America’s fifty states have some of the most historically interesting nicknames.Alabama is known as the Heart of Dixie because it is in the very middle of a group of states in the Deep South. Dixie itself is a nickname for the American South. It started when Louisiana printed notes with the French word for “ten”on them. “Deece”, or D-I-X, led to “Dixie”. Way up north, Alaska is called the Last Frontier for understandable reasons. Near the Arctic Circle, it was the final part of the nation to be explored and settled.Arizona is the Grand Canyon State because of the famous winding canyon carved by the Colorado River.The southern state of Arkansas is the Land of Opportunity. The state legislature chose this nickname. Arkansas is rich in natural resources and has become a favorite place for older people to retire.In a popular Spanish book, a fictional island called “California”was filled with gold. Sure enough, plenty of it was discovered in the real California, in 1848. This started a gold rush unlike any other in American history in the Golden State.You would think Colorado would be known as the Rocky Mountain State. But its nickname is the Centennial State. That is because it became a state in 1876, exactly one hundred years after the nation declared its independence.Connecticut is called the Nutmeg State after a spice. Connecticut Yankees, as people in this northeast state are called, are known to be smart in business. So smart that it was said they could sell wooden, meaning false, nutmegs to strangers.Little Delaware is called the First State because it was the first state—the first to approve the new United States Constitution.The southern state of Florida likes to tell about its sunny days and fine beaches. So Florida is the Sunshine State. Florida’s neighbor to the north grows some of the sweetest fruit in America.So Georgia is the Peach State.Hawaii, far out in the Pacific Ocean, is the Aloha State. That is the friendly greeting that means both “hello”and “goodbye”in the native Hawaiian language. So, aloha for now.●阿拉巴马州（Alabama）位于美国东南部，其首府是蒙哥马利（Montgomery）。

The Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York City and New York State. The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Travel in Shandong英语四级作文

• 大约5时20分，在蓬莱阁东北方向红光乍现，出现了一条光亮的带状物，并在不断地延伸。一会儿颜色变紫，形状尤如郁郁葱葱的原始森林，从东到西绵延几十公里，偶尔有长颈鹿隐隐出现。逐渐地有山峰隆起，层峦叠嶂，云雾缭绕，仿佛“两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山”的意境。过了一段时间，群峰渐渐地隐去，在南长山岛以北，又一座“南长山”从海中慢慢涌起，瞬间凝结，宛如南长山列岛的孪生姐妹。

The cop and the anthem课文及翻译The Cop and the Anthem警察和赞美诗by O. Henry欧·亨利著On his bench in Madison Square Soapy moved uneasily. When wild geese honk high of nights, and when women without sealskin coats grow kind to their husbands, and when Soapy moves uneasily on his bench in the park, you may know that winter is near at hand.索丕躺在麦迪逊广场的长凳上辗转不安。

当大雁高声嘎叫的夜晚,当没有海豹皮外衣的女人去偎近自己的丈夫的时候,当索丕在公园里的长凳上不安地来回翻转的时候,你或许知道这是冬天是近在咫尺了。

A dead leaf fell in Soapy's lap. That was Jack Frost's card. Jack is kind to the regular denizens of Madison Square, and gives fair warning of his annual call. At the corners of four streets he hands his pasteboard to the North Wind, footman of the mansion of All Outdoors, so that the inhabitants thereof may make ready.一片枯叶子落在了索丕的大腿上。

那就是杰克-弗洛斯特的名片。

杰克对麦迪逊广场的普通居民都十分友好,并给他们以一年一度的友好问候。
