It is the fourth greatest natural wonder in the UK.It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland.3．The Yellowstone National ParkIt is located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming and it is known for its wildlife. It was established by the U.S. Congress as a national park on March 1, 1872. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is dominant.4．The HeptarchyThe Heparchy means the period between the 6th century and the 9th century in the history of England in which one or other of the seven kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon origin was dominant. Finally in 829, theking of Wessex defeated the other kings and unified England;therefore, Egbert was regarded as the first king of England.5．Old WorldThe Old World consists of those parts of Earth known to Europeans, Asians, and Africans in the 15th century. It is in distinction from the New World, meaning the Americas and Australias. Normally, it is divided at the Suez Canal into Eurasia and Africa, the former of which can be subdivided into Europe and Asia.6．ManhattanIt is one of the five boroughs which form the City of New York. The Manhattan island, is the biggest part of the borough of Manhattan.Manhattan is a major commercial, financial, and cultural center of the United States and to some extent the world7．ChinatownPeople call the place where Chinese live together in a certain density in foreign countries “Chinatown”. The largest Chinese population in the USA is found in a place in San Francisco, California. Another important Chinatown in the USA is located in New York City.8．IndiansThe Indians living in America originated from Asia some 25,000 years by crossing the Bering land bridge. Long before in the 15th century, the white men set foot on American soil, Columbus called the American natives Indians, as he thought he arrived in India. They are also called American Indians.9．MayflowerThe Mayflower was the famous ship that transported the English Pilgrims, from Southampton, England, to Plymouth Harber, Massachusetts, USA. in 1620. With their religion oppressed by the English Church and government, the small party of religious separatists who comprised about half of the passengers on the ship desired a life where they could practice their religion freely.This symbol of religious freedom resonates in US society.9．Independent schoolAn independent school is a school which is not dependent upon national or local government for financing its operation and is instead operated by tuition charges, gifts, and in some cases the investment yield of an endowment10．GCSEIt stands for “General Certificate of Secondary Education”.

Its main rival is the London-based Financial Times, which also publishes several international editions.13．Love of privacyThe right to privacy and personal freedom is unquestioned by the British and the Americans. Perhaps it is the lack of space that has fostered and maintained their fierce individualism in the UK. The same goes with the American people. They love privacy, but not because of the lack of space. The understanding of privacy between the American people and the Chinese people is not identical at all.14．Uncle SamUncle Sam is a nickname and popular symbol of the USA, which is associated with a tall cartoon figure with white hair and chin whiskers, wearing a tall hat, a swal-low-tailed coat with stars, vest and striped trousers.15．ThanksgivingIt is a typical American holiday.

In 1941, the Congress declared the fourth Thursday in November to be anational day. Today the Americans usually hold a big family dinner to celebrate the holiday, which often lasts four days. They have such traditional food as roast turkey, pumpkin pie, apples, cranberry sauce, squash and so on.16．Bank HolidayIt is the only holiday in UK.

A Bank Holiday is a public holiday in the UK, also in the Republic of Ireland.There is no automatic right to time off on these days.17．Independence DayIt is a legal holiday throughout the USA, a most important patriotic holiday, the birthday of the nation.

The Abbey continuesas an active site of worship today. It is a major landmark in London, and the site of coronation for the English monarchy.18．World Trade CenterIt was in New York City. It was first completed in 1972 and then expanded in the 1980s. These twin towers were flat-topped straight-lined shafts that stood 110 stories high. Unfortunately the Center was destroyed by the “September 11th” bombing in the year of 2001.19．John BullIt is the nickname for Britain. He is short and fat, with a tall hat on his head and pair of boots on his feet. Originally, John Bull denoted generally Britain or any Englishman in the seventeenth century, just as Uncle Sam refers to the US in the nineteenth century and became the symbol of the US.20．Martin Luther KingMartin Luther King (1929-1968) was a black minister, who was a great leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and The Indian Leader Gandhi. His politicalidea is “non-violent resistance.

U.S. and China: Worlds apart but much in commonBy Stan Grant, CNNNovember 8, 2012 -- Updated 0031 GMT (0831 HKT)China: U.S. election scapegoat?STORY HIGHLIGHTSIn space of one week, world's two great powers decide their immediate futuresBeijing has cautioned U.S. politicians to treat China with respectU.S. has pivoted to Asia away from wars in Iraq and AfghanistanA way from heat of politics and trade, ordinary people are building bridgesTune in to "The Future of China" at 0900 HKT, 2000 ET, 0100 GMT on CNN.Beijing (CNN) -- So, America has decided. President Barack Obama has been returned for another term. Now it is China's turn. In the space of one week the world's two great powers decide their immediate futures.More: China's secretive processIt's not all they have in common. America and China are joined at the wallet. China makes mass cost-effective products, United States consumers buy them. The U.S. is China's single biggest trade partner, China is the biggest holder of American debt.Y et so much attention is given to what divides the two powers. In the U.S presidential election both candidates tried to "out-tough" each other on China. There were the now mandatory claims of China stealing American jobs, not playing fair, manipulating its currency to gain an export advantage.Beijing has cautioned U.S. politicians to treat China with respect. It talks about win-win, the need for cooperation.More: 3 challenges for China's next leadersInside China's Communist Party CongressPresidential candidates on ChinaMao's shadow over ChinaWhat in the world: Change in ChinaPresident Obama made it clear during the campaign that China can be either a partner or an adversary. He's backing his words with firepower.The U.S. has pivoted to Asia away from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is consolidating key alliances in Southeast Asia, carrying out military exercises with Japan and South Korea. American troops are now in place on Australian soil.Some analysts interpret this as an attempt to contain China's rise. China is rattling other nations in Asia with its military build-up and tense territorial disputes. V iolent protests have erupted across China as people denounce the likes of Japan and the Philippines.More: Opinion: West should prepare for confusing new Chinese leaderBut away from the heat of politics and trade, ordinary people are building bridges. Chinesestudents are flocking to American colleges, U.S. businesses are capitalizing on China's inexpensive labor, and young Americans can be found throughout Chinese cities.Jonathon Levine left his home in New Y ork when he found himself unemployed. Armed with a masters degree he found a job teaching U.S. Studies at Beijing's Tsinghua University. He says "China bashing" isn't the answer, the world, he says, needs to get over its fear."It's not like going to the moon like it might have been 100 years ago because communication links us much closer together," Levine said.China is not the moon, but it is world's away from the U.S. in so many ways. Where America prides itself on its democracy, the Chinese Communist Party keeps a tight grip on power. The U.S is the home of laissez-faire capitalism, China remains a command economy. Human rights continues to be a thorny issue, and where the U.S pursues intervention in foreign affairs, China prefers a hands-off approach.More: China's Communist Party Congress explainedU.S Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, says China's relationship with the U.S. is the defining one of this century. President Obama has four more years; Xi Jinping is expected to be anointed China's leader for the next decade -- two men a world apart with a world depending on them.128Comments »Tweet5inSharePrintEmailMore sharingRedditStumbleUponDeliciousWe recommendY ou might like:China's mystery man faces struggle at home and abroad ( - World)After Obama win, hope and relief in China ( - World)How to survive Tokyo's subway sandwich ( - World)'On China' -- Covering a nation in uncharted waters ( - World)Why is China election scapegoat for Romney, Obama?
