CALIFORNIA
California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not surprising when you know the history of California.
Unit1 加利福尼亚
加利福尼亚是美国的第三大州,而且是人口最多的州。加州与众不同之处在于它也是美国最具多元文化的一个州,它吸引了来自世界各地的人们。这些移民的风俗习惯以及语言在他们的新家都得以延续。当你了解了加利福尼亚的历史后,你就不会对此感到惊讶了。NATIVE AMERCANS
Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Europeans, the native people suffered greatly. Thousands were killed or forced into slavery.

达芬奇只是一个画家吗?
1452年最伟大的画家和发明家、达芬奇、出生。他的家庭非常贫穷,他成长在意大利乡村。但他的绘画能力允许他学习下从佛罗伦萨著名画家,叫Verrochio。莱昂纳多逐渐学会了技能需要一个伟大的艺术家,到了1480年代,他开始生产自己的画作。不幸的是在这个时间绘画并不总是提供一个稳定的收入,所以年轻的达芬奇开发他的绘画技能赚取的钱在其他方面。他学会了设计无论他的雇主想要的:城市、运河、桥梁或武器。
达芬奇可能感兴趣的机器当他还是个孩子。他的一些早期的图纸清楚地显示各种机器零件如何工作。学习期间,在Verrochio,莱昂纳多观测和使用各种各样的机器。通过研究和绘画,莱昂纳多获得知识关于他们的设计和结构。艺术家达芬奇的时候知道如何构建和修复许多熟悉的类型的机器,但似乎没有人想到发明新技术。
然而,莱昂纳多是不同的。他开发了一种新的态度对待机器。他意识到,通过理解每个单独的机器工作的一部分,他可以改善它们,把它们以不同的方式来改善现有的机器。这样他开始设计机器没有人曾经见过的。他开始写第一部系统的解释和机器的工作部件的机结合在整个。他的绘画技巧使他产生清晰的图纸他的机械的想法很容易。甚至超过五百年后的今天,他的许多设计仍然可以被用来创建完美的工作机器。
对他来说,最有趣的部分是使用机械齿轮(齿轮)。基于齿轮,他想出了许多设计,包括自行车,一架直升机,“汽车”和一些武器当然。

Unit 1 CALIFORNIA多样性的土地
California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not surprising when you know the history of California. NATIVE AMERCANS
Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Europeans, the native people suffered greatly. Thousands were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state.
THE SPANISH
In the 18th century California was ruled by Spain. Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century, when they fought against the native people and took their land. Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States. Of the first Spanish to go to California, the majority were religious men, whose ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives. In 1821, the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain. California then became part of Mexico. In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico, and after the war won by the USA, Mexico had to give California to the USA. However, there is still a strong Spanish influence in the state. That is why today over 40 of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language.
RUSSIANS
In the early 1800s, Russian hunters, who had originally gone to Alaska, began settling in California. Today there are about 25,000 Russian-Americans living in and around San Francisco.
GOLD MINERS
In 1848, not long after the American-Mexican war, gold was discovered in California. The dream of becoming rich quickly attracted people from all over the world. The nearest, and therefore the first to arrive, were South Americans and people from the United States. Then adventurers from Europe and Asia soon followed. In fact, few achieved their dream of becoming rich. Some died or returned home, but most remained in California to make a life for themselves despite great hardship. They settled in the new towns or on farms. By the time California elected to become the thirty-first federal state of the USA in 1850, it was already a multicultural society.
LATER A RRIVALS
Although Chinese immigrants began to arrive during the Gold Rush Period, it was the building of
the rail network from the west to the east coast that brought even larger numbers to California in the 1860s. Today,
