Unit 3 DIVERSE CULTURE多样的文化
Reading and thinking
Wednesday, 21 June
6月21日，星期三
Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city—a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
在红杉林露营并参观了纳帕谷酒乡后，今天是我回到旧金山的第一天。我得承认，再次回到城里的感觉实在是太棒了。多么神奇的一座城市啊——一座1906年大地震后重建的城市。这里有众多美丽的古建筑——不少坐落于大山之巅， 城市、大海和金门大桥美景尽收眼底。
My hotel is near downtown, in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food. In fact, an art movement called the “Mission School” started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards, I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!
我住的旅馆靠近市中心，位于教会区，这是旧金山最古老的街区之一。这里的许多居民来自墨西哥或中美洲。这个区过去是城里的一个贫困区域，而现在是艺术、音乐和美食中心。事实上，一场名为“教会派”的艺术运动就发源于此。这一运动深受涂鸦艺术和漫画艺术的影响。一连好几个小时，我四处走着，欣赏街头艺术。这些艺术十分现代，也很生动。随后，我吃了一份快餐车售卖的美味的墨西哥式中国面。这真是文化的交融啊!
In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300,000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living, some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.
下午，我前往当地一家博物馆参观，博物馆展示了加利福尼亚的历史变迁。我了解到，1948年美国从墨西哥手中得到加利福尼亚。同年，旧金山附近发现黄金，引发了淘金热。世界各地30多万人蜂拥而至，在这里谋出路，旧金山迅速成为一座大都市。很多中国人也在这个时期来到此地。为了谋生，有些人在唐人街开商店、开餐馆。更多的人则在农场打工、加入淘金大军，或者参与修建加州通往美国东部的铁路。这家博物馆完美地展示了美国是如何由不同国家和文化的移民建设起来的。这些移民离开他们的祖国时，心中装着一片故土，最终在这里建立了新家园。
This evening, I went to Chinatown. There were so many cafés and restaurants to choose from. I selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful china plates. What great food!
今晚，我去了唐人街。这里有很多不错的咖啡馆和餐馆可供选择。我挑了一家粤菜馆，他们端出来的菜肴是放在精美的瓷盘子上的。太好吃了！
That’s enough for today. Tomorrow evening, I’m going to a jazz bar in the Richmond Distinct. Can’t wait!
今天就写到这里吧。明天晚上，我要去里上满区的一家爵士酒吧。我已经迫不及待了!

WELCOME TO CHINATOWN! 唐人街欢迎您！
The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America, and also the oldest. It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge. The climate is mild all year round, meaning it is always a good time to visit.
旧金山的唐人街在全美规模最大、历史最为悠久，是一个非常受欢迎的旅游景点，每年接待的游客甚至比金门大桥还多。这里一年四季气候温和，这意味着任何时候都适宜来游览。
Historically, Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period. What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a centre tor Chinese culture. The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese, many of whom do not speak English fluently. This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.
历史上，在修筑铁路和淘金热时期，来自中国的移民定居于此。这里原本是中国移民的居住地，后来变成一个中国文化中心。如今唐人街的绝大多数居民依旧是华人，他们中很多人英语说得并不流利，这能让游客体验到正宗的中国味。
Most of Chinatown was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the city and residents rebuilt it, taking care to include lots of Chinese architecture. Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton, to name but a few. Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights, smells, and sounds of China. Portsmouth Square is also a key site, being the centre of Chinatown. It has a long and famous history, with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there. These days, the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life, such as games of Chinese chess, and people practising tai chi.
唐人街的大部分建筑毁于1906年的大地震，但是市政府和居民将它重建，并且特地融人诸多中国建筑元素。传统上，游客从具有传奇色彩的龙门走入唐人街，龙门的建筑材料是由中国捐赠的。其他的著名景点还有天后古庙、广东银行等，不胜枚举。游客亦可花上数小时，一探此地的中国味道与美景声色。作为唐人街的中心，花园角广场也是一个重要景点。广场历史悠久，声名远扬，作家罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森曾长居于此进行创作。如今，花园角广场已经成为游客的一个好去处，可以欣赏现实生活里的中国传统文化，如中国象棋和打太极拳。
The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing. All kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found, too, and there are Chinese tea stores, where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea.
唐人街的商店出售各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服。此外，各种各样的中草药也随处可见，还有中国茶叶商店，游客可以品尝和购买各种中国茶叶。
But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food. There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste, with traditional dishes from all over China.
然而，很多游客和旧金山人最钟爱的或许是唐人街的美食。这里有着来自中国各地的传统菜肴，各种口味，应有尽有。
Chinatowns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA. They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.
唐人街是美国多元文化的一个重要组成部分，未曾踏足中国的游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化。
第二节（满分25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The eight-year-old girl Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded by beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol’s family moved to the city as they had everything in the village. One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life. She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruit and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.

Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Curious and confused, Carol looked around everywhere with her eyes widen. She was astonished to see many skyscrapers of glass and steel, cars of different colors rolling by. The bright-colored posters, cozy coffee shops as well as specially-designed pictures formed a pleasant image of the charming city. Suddenly, the whistle of the passing cars and waving plastic bags attracted her attention. The strange smell from the nearby factory made her feel disgusted. _It occurred to her that what grandma once said was a reality. Life in the city is not so perfect while life in the countryside also has its unique magic that can’t be replaced.
Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. When she slowly opened her eyes, familiar faces of her families and green trees outside the window came into her sight. With Teary eyes, she sat up and threw herself into her grandma’s arms. Wiping her tears away gently, her grandma whispered in a soft voice, “why not going out to appreciate what you have ” The moment she stepped outside of the house, Carol can’t help taking a deep breath of fresh air. A joyful smile bloomed on her innocent face. The ray of sunshine from the snow mountain didn’t melt the snow but melted the icy land in her heart. “Home is where the heart is” Carol sighed.

Smelling the fragrance of the coffee, they felt everything in that remote area had become distant memory. “ Stay at hometown or go back to that rural area ” they were faced with such a tough choice. At that crucial moment, a delivery vehicle came into her grandpa’s sight. He was lost in thought. The image of local people’s happy face when receiving their letters flashed into his mind.

Today was Li Lan’s first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. She had to acknowledge life in the city was far much more fantastic than rural life. What impressed her most was that the city was able to rebuild itself after the occurrence of earthquake in 1906 and the ancient old buildings sitting on top of big hills.
Her hotel is near downtown in the Mission District, one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town but now an artistic cradle where an art movement called the “ Mission School” started. Attracted by graffiti art and comic art, she walked around, looking and commenting. Afterwards, she ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck to experience a real mix of cultures !
In the afternoon, She headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. She learned that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300, 000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living, some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures. When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home in San Francisco.
This evening, she went to Chinatown. There were so many good cafes and restaurants to choose from. She selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful China plates. What great food !
Tomorrow evening, she was going to a jazz bar in the Richmond District.

Witnessing the prosperity of the streets in the Richmond District, Li Lan was numb with surprise. She had to admit it definitely felt so nice to be in a glorious place. Surrounded by bright-colored posters and delicately-decorated architecture, she was so thrilled that she felt her heart was beating like a freed bird. Smelling the fragrance of the coffee from the bar, She felt everything in her hometown had become distant memory. “ Stay here forever or go back to my homeland ” She was faced with such a tough choice. She even can’t help containing her impulse to renew her visa and apply for a school here. At that crucial moment, a traditional Chinese paper-cutting with the pattern of blessings on the window came into her sight. She was lost in thought. The image of her families’ happy faces flashed into her mind. Their voice of calling her “ dear” kept echoing around her ears. Tears of regret rolled into her eyes. “ I need to go back” She whispered.
Standing in the airport, Li Lan waved goodbye to San Francisco. With tears streaming down her face, She touched the statue, sculpture and paintings as gently as she could. Suddenly, the broadcast went off , the plane would take off. She boarded on the plane, waving good bye to San Francisco. Attached to the glory and brilliance of the city, She gazed at the clouds outside of window and was overwhelmed by a feeling of loss. At that moment, the familiar voice of national anthem reminded her of the destination, her birthplace. Finally, the plane landed on the familiar place, she got off the plane along with other guests. Bathed in the ray of warm sunshine, She walked out of the airport with a warm smile blooming over her face.
