戴夫Givens的驱动器370英里工作，每天上，并认为他的七个小时通勤的最佳答案平衡他与他的个人生活的工作。
一个全国性的竞赛中获得冠军上下班，最长的跋涉，吉文斯是人们上下班往返时间更长，谁比以前更远百万之一。
研究显示，美国人比以前花更多的时间上下班，并为长，越来越多的工作需要花1个多小时。在最近的美国人口普查局的研究显示，280万人口有所谓极端上下班，时间长达90分钟。
吉文斯，46岁的电气工程师，家中马里波萨之间，加州，他在位于圣何塞的工作极端通勤。他每天日出前离家，天黑后回家。
他降落在他的行程近3000项第一名为美国最长的通勤由汽车服务商迈达斯公司赞助的，搜索结果于上周公布。但吉文斯让人心痛或的旅程听上去乏味，他说这是方式，让家庭和工作，他的爱。
“我达到了平衡，现在，”吉文斯说。 “我可以做类似的工作更密切，而与工作报酬与工作满意我有。而且我可以住得近，但我也不会，我渴望的生活方式。
“对我来说，这不是一个长途旅程，”他补充说。 “这是我做的事情去工作。”
郊区到郊区通勤
上下班经常涉及的人不再在一个郊区，谁在另一个工作生活，阿兰说皮萨斯基，着有“在美国的路上。”
这种模式往往开始于公司搬出一个城市郊区，诱使职工也搬迁至较为便宜的远郊区，他说。 “人们认为这是一个机会去这个遥远的距离，”他说。
此举可能会提供更多负担得起的住房或更好的学校。即使是高燃油成本 - 吉文斯花费约为185美元一个星期的汽油 - 可以支付一个更好的生活质量而言也是值得的。

回报是在乡下的房子，她说。
“这是一种让从喧嚣的城市远离喧嚣的事情，”德吉泽斯说，37。 “这不是一件容易的事情，但大多数时候它确实值得。
“我的老板认为我是发疯了，”她补充说。
研究显示，百分之7.6的美国上班族行驶一个多小时的工作，2004年最新数据，从1990年的6个百分点。平均单程上班时间上升了百分之十三，达25.5分钟在1990年和2000年。
1990年，只有纽约州有超过百分之10的工人花了一个多小时去上班，皮萨斯基说。现在，这种情况也出现在新泽西州，马里兰州，伊利诺伊州和加利福尼亚州发现的好，他说。
交通拥堵恶化
新增长期通勤增加拥堵，根据德州运输研究所的2005年城市流动报告。上班族通常每年花47小时在交通拥堵，从十年前的40小时，该研究显示。
“这超出仅仅能够成行浪费时间，”戴维说施兰克，共同报告的作者。
但是旅途可算是非常值得，凯菲利普斯说谁的作品包括教堂山，北卡罗莱纳州的164英里的花岗岩瀑布从她家。
“我真的很喜欢我做什么，所以我并不介意，”她说。
尽管吉文斯花费他听收音机上下班了，特别是交通报告，飞利浦，52岁，用她自己的方式在五个小时的通勤 - 她祈祷。
“我说一个很长的祷告开始了每对每个人的早晨，它给你相当多的时间做到这一点，”她说。

美国文化英语作文
American culture
The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals' value, the pursue of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation(开拓, 经营) and competition and the need of realistic and practicality. Its core is individualism: self first, personal need first, pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment, emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design. This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons, it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the en on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.
American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes. They have great sense in their hearts to praise succeand heroes. Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind. Americans have very strong senses of success. Succeis the pursuit of most Americans, it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward. They believe that one's personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career. Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes. The proceand result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.
American society has great movements within itself. These movements are shown in two aspects: movements amongst locations and movements inside the society. The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom. Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities, fro and from north to the southern sunny land, from one city to another. Unlike European countries, the social classes in America is not so stable. Further more, with the advocation of public education, movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible. Many people living in the states, no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas, have the same dream of changing their social claand make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts. This is what they often called &American dream&.
American beer, with very few exceptions, varies from the mediocre(普通的) to the terrible. There are not many types of beer in the US—&light& and &dark& are two terms commonly used.
It is therefore normal to order beer simply by brand name. In a restaurant, in fact, it is quite all right to order &a beer&, and they will tell youwhat they have.
It is not necessary, either, to specify quantity when ordering beer. If it comes in bottles or cans, you will get a bottle or can, and if it's &on tap&(可以随时取用的) you will get a glass, unless you order a &pitcher&(有嘴和柄的大酒罐 i.e.a jug). The latter is very convenient thing to do, since you can then take the jug and glasses to your table and keep filling up without going back to the bar. (It is harder, however, to know how much you have drunk.)
Some beer comes in bottles with tops that look as if they need an opener, but you can, in fact, screw(拧开) them off by hand—though you have to be very careful not to hurt yourself. It is possible, in some stores and bars,to find a wide selection of beer from all over the world, especially Western Europe and Australia, and it is good fun to experiment with these.
Cocktails and &mixed drinks& are much more popular and rather stronger in the USA than in Europe, and visitors may not be familiar with some of the terminology(术语). &On the rocks&, as you probably know, means with ice, while &straight up& or &up& means neat and without ice.
There are hundreds of different cocktails, and there is no space here to list all the different names.
The Hard Stuff
In America &whiskey& means bourbon(一种烈性威士忌酒，最初为美国肯塔基州Bourbon地区所产) unless otherwise indicated. Bourbon is a rather oily spiritmade from maize(玉米). Rye(黑麦威士忌酒) whiskey is called &rye& and Scotch
whiskey &Scotch&.
In bars wine can often be bought by the glass. Don't be misled by names such as &Chablis& is used to refer to white wine, and &Burgundy& to red—Americans seem never to have heard of white Burgundy.
美国人的待客礼仪
An American friend has invited you to visit his family. You've never been to an American's home before, and you're not sure what to do. Should you take a gift? How should you dress? What time should you arrive? What should you do when you get there? Glad you asked. When you're the guest, you should just make yourself at home. That's what hospitality is all about: making people feel at home when they're not. 　　一位美国朋友邀请你去他家。你以前从未去过美国人的家，你不确定该怎么做。该带一个礼物吗?该怎么穿?该几点到?到了那里该做什么?很高兴你发问。你若是客人，只要使自己感到自在就好了。待客之道就是这样：虽然不是在家里，却使客人有实至如归之感。
　　The question of whether or not to bring a gift often makes guests squirm. Giving your host a gift is not just a social nicety in some cultures-it's expected. But in American culture, a guest is not obligated to bring a present. Of course, some people do bring a small token of appreciation to their host. Appropriate gifts for general occasions might be flowers, candy or-if the family has small children-toys. If you choose not to bring a gift, don't worry. No one will even notice.
　　是否带礼物的问题常使客人不安。在某些文化中，送主人礼物不只是社交礼节——还是必要的。但是在美国文化中，客人并不一定要带礼物。当然，有些人的确会带个表示感谢的小礼物给他们的主人。在一般情?r下，带花或是糖果，如果这家人有小孩，玩具应当是恰当的礼物。如果你选择不带礼物，?e担心，甚至?]有人会注意到的。
　　American hospitality begins at home-especially when it involves food. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food any day. When invited for a meal, you might ask, &Can I bring anything?& Unless it's a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, the host will probably respond, &No, just yourself.& For most informal dinners, you should wear comfortable, casual clothes. Plan to arrive on time, or else call to inform your hosts of the delay. During the dinner conversation, it's customary to compliment the hostess on the wonderful meal. Of course, the biggest compliment is to eat lots of food!
　　美国人的待客之道从家里开始——尤其是和食物有关。大多数美国人都同意，无论如何，好的家常菜胜过餐馆的菜。受邀吃饭时，你或许可以问：「我可以带些什么吗?」除非是每人带一道菜的聚餐，否则主人很可能会回答：「不用，你来就可以了。」大多数非正式的聚餐，你应该穿舒适、轻便的衣服。设法准时到，否则打电话告诉主人你会晚点到。用餐时，习惯上，人们会称赞女主人烹调的美食。当然，最大的赞美是多吃!
　　When you've had plenty, you might offer to clear the table or wash the dishes. But since you're the guest, your hosts may not let you. Instead, they may invite everyone to move to the living room for dessert with tea or coffee. After an hour or so of general chit-chat, it's probably time to head for the door. You don't want to wear out your welcome. And above all, don't go snooping around the house. It's more polite to wait for the host to offer you a guided tour. But except for housewarmings, guests often don't get past the living room.
　　当你吃得差不多时，或许可以主动表示要帮忙清理桌子或洗碗盘，但你既是客人，你的主人可能不会让你这样做。他们或许会邀请大家到客厅吃点心、喝茶或咖啡。聊个大约一小时或许就该离去了，你可不希望变得不受欢迎吧。还有最重要的是不要在屋子里四处窥探，等主人邀请你参观才较有礼貌。可是除了乔迁喜宴之外，客人通常都只待在客厅里。
　　Americans usually like to have advance notice when people come to see them. Only very close friends drop by unannounced. This is especially true if the guests want to stay for a few days. Here's a good rule of thumb for house guests: Short stays are best. As one 19th century French writer put it, &The first day a man is a guest, the second a burden, the third a pest.& Even relatives don't usually stay for several weeks at a time. While you're staying with an American family, try to keep your living area neat and tidy. Your host family will appreciate your consideration. And they may even invite you back!
　　美国人通常喜欢访客事先通知他们，只有非常亲密的朋友才可能不请自来，尤其在客人要待好几天时更是如此。最好不要久留——这是给访客的经验之谈。如同十九世纪一位法国作家所写的：「第一天是客人，第二天是负担，第三天就是讨厌鬼了。」即使是亲戚通常也不会一次待上几个星期。当你住在美国人家里时，设法使你住的地方保持整齐清洁。你的主人一家都会感谢你这么体贴，他们甚至会再邀请你!
　　Most Americans consider themselves hospitable people. Folks in the southern United States, in particular, take pride in entertaining guests. In fact, &southern hospitality& has become legendary. But in all parts of America, people welcome their guests with open arms. So don't be surprised to find the welcome mat out for you. Just don't forget to wipe your feet.
　　大多数美国人都认为他们是好客之人。尤其是美国的南方人更以款待客人自豪，事实上，「南方的款待」是人们所津津乐道口口相传的。不过在美国各地，人们都展开双臂欢迎他们的客人，所以当你发现有WELCOME字样的鞋垫为你而时，?e惊讶，只是?e忘了把你的脚擦干净就是了。
As we know,America is a young country,however,its culture is quite splendid,which is admitted by people all over the world,especially its fastfood culture.
In 1948,the Richards opened up the first fastfood restaurant,named Mcdonald's,beside a highway.In order to attract people passing by,they lifted up the golden&&neon signs,mainly selling out the hamburgers,milkshake,soda water and so on which are packed with paper bags.Due to it's convenient to carry with,those people that on the car can find the solution to eating,therefore,it's very popular with the Americans.Based on the industrial pipeline,a new kind of the fastfood came into being.With its appearance,a new lifestyle started to spread to the whole America,even affected the whole world later on.
In my opinion,the reason why the American fastfood is so popular owes to people's fast rhythm of life,and Americans are always seeking for the high efficiency no matter in their work or life.
