曼哈顿、布鲁克林、布朗克斯、昆斯、里士满美国第一大都市纽约 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 纽约是美国第一大都市和第一大商港，它不仅是美国的金融中心，也是全世界金融中心之一。纽约位于纽约州东南哈得孙河口，濒临大西洋。它由五个区组成：曼哈顿、布鲁克林、布朗克斯、昆斯和里士满，面积780平方公里，市区人口700多万，包括郊区在内的大纽约市人口1800万。纽约还是联合国总部所在地，总部大厦坐落在曼哈顿岛东河河畔。 1524年意大利人弗拉赞诺最早来到河口地区，1609年英国人哈得孙沿河上溯探险，该河便以他的名字命名。1626年荷兰人以价值大约60个荷兰盾（相当24美元）的小物件从印第安人手中买下曼哈顿岛辟为贸易站，称之为“新阿姆斯特丹”。1664年，英王查理二世的弟弟约克公爵占领了这块地方，改称纽约（即新约克，英国有约克郡）。1686年纽约建市。独立战争期间，纽约是乔治·华盛顿的司令部所在地和他就任美国第一任总统的地方，也是当时美国的临时首都。1825年伊利运河通航，以后又兴建了铁路，沟通了纽约同中西部的联系，促进了城市大发展，使这里逐渐成为集金融、贸易、旅游和文化艺术于一身的国际大都会。 曼哈顿区是五个区中面积最小的，仅57·91平方公里，但这个东西窄、南北长的小岛却是纽约的中心，大银行、大保险公司、大工业公司、大运输公司，以及闻名全球的纽约证券交易所等都云集于此。美国最大的500家公司中，有三分之一以上把总部设在曼哈顿。位于曼哈顿岛南部的华尔街是纽约的象征，美国垄断资本的大本营，金融寡头的代名词。著名的纽约证券交易所和美国证券交易所均设于此。 纽约也是美国文化、艺术、音乐和出版中心，有众多的博物馆、美术馆、图书馆、科学研究机构和艺术中心，美国三大广播电视公司和一些最有影响的报纸都把总部设在这里。 纽约也是美国的工业中心之一，服装、印刷、化妆品等行业均居全国首位，机器制造、军火生产、石油加工和食品加工也占有重要地位。市内多数河流都通大西洋，港口规模巨大，设备优良，终年不冻。纽约也是铁路交通重要枢纽。纽约的地下铁道全长1000多公里，是目前世界上最长、最快捷的地铁交通系统。纽约有3个国际机场，其中著名的肯尼迪国际机场承担着全国50％的进出口货物空运业务和35％的国际客运业务。 纽约是美国少数民族最为集中的地区。黑人有100万以上，主要聚居在哈莱姆街区。著名的唐人街有15万华人。还有众多的意大利人和犹太人。 1993年11月9日，纽约和上海结为友好城市。

美国国会山（Capitol Hill）： Capitol Hill, aside from being a metonym for the United States Congress, is the largest historic residential neighborhood in Washington D.C., stretching easterly in front of the U.S. Capitol along wide avenues. It is one of the oldest residential communities in Washington, and with roughly 35,000 people in just under two square miles, it is also one of the most densely populated. As a geographic feature, Capitol Hill rises in the center of the District of Columbia and extends eastward. Pierre L'Enfant, as he began to develop his plan for the new Federal City in 1791, chose to locate the "Congress House" on the crest of the hill, facing the city, a site that L'Enfant characterized as a "pedestal waiting for a monument." The Capitol Hill neighborhood today straddles two quadrants of the city, Southeast and Northeast, and a large portion is now designated as the Capitol Hill historic district. The name Capitol Hill is often used to refer to both the historic district and to the larger neighborhood around it. To the east of Capitol Hill lies the Anacostia River, to the north is the H Street corridor, to the south are the Southeast/Southwest Freeway and the Washington Navy Yard, and to the west are the National Mall and the city's central business district. 曼哈顿（Manhattan）： Manhattan is one of the five boroughs of New York City, located primarily on Manhattan Island at the mouth of the Hudson River. New York County, which has the same boundaries as the Borough of Manhattan (and which should not be confused with New York City), is the most densely populated county in the United States, with a 2007 population of 1,620,867 living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.47 km²), or 70,595 residents per square mile (27,267/km²). It is also one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, with a 2005 personal income per capita above $100,000.Manhattan is the third-largest of New York's five boroughs in population but the smallest in area. It consists of Manhattan Island and several small adjacent islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall's Island, Ward's Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island,and U Thant Island; as well as Marble Hill, a small section on the mainland adjacent to the Bronx. Manhattan is a major commercial, financial, and cultural center of both the United States and the world.Most major radio, television, and telecommunications companies in the United States are based here, as well as many news, magazine, book, and other media publishers. Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations. Manhattan has the largest central business district in the United States, is the site of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and is the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in the nation. It is the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, hosting the seat of city government and a large portion of the area's employment, business, and recreational activities. The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht Halve Maen (Half Moon).A 1610 map depicts the name Manahata twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language.The Encyclopedia of New York City offers other derivations, including from the Munsee dialect of Lenape: manahachtanienk ("place of general inebriation"), manahatouh ("place where timber is procured for bows and arrows"), or menatay ("island"). 密西西比河（Mississippi River）： The Mississippi River is the second-longest river in the United States,with a length of 2,320 miles (3,730 km)from its source in Lake Itasca in Minnesota to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River is part of the Missouri-Mississippi river system, which is the largest river system in North America and among the largest in the world: by length (3,900 miles (6,300 km)), it is the fourth longest, and by its average discharge of 572,000 cu ft/s (16,200 m³/s), it is the tenth largest. The name Mississippi is derived from the Ojibwe word misi

简单的：The Mississippi River is the second longest river system in the United States. Only the Missouri River is longer. The Mississippi flows 2,340 miles (3,766 kilometers) from its source in northwestern Minnesota to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico.难点的：The word, Mississippi probably comes from a combination of Chippewa words (mici and zibi) meaning "great river" or "great water." It was first written as "Michi Sepe" by Lieutenant Henri de Tonti traveling with the explorer La Salle. The Mississippi and its tributaries drain almost all the plains between the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains. Its drainage basin is the third largest in the world, exceeded in size only by the watersheds of the Amazon and Congo Rivers. The drainage basin covers 1,247,300 square miles (3,230,490 square kilometers) in 31 states and 2 Canadian provinces. This area encompasses the nation's most productive agricultural and industrial regions. The Mississippi is the nation's chief navigable water route. Barges and towboats on the Mississippi River System carry sixty percent of the agricultural goods, industrial products, and raw materials transported on inland waterways. The Mississippi River and its valley also support many kinds of animals and plants including freshwater fishes, birds, deer, raccoons, otters, mink, and a variety of forest trees. But pollution from agriculture and industry seriously threaten the life of the Mississippi.
