Book ID/图书代码： 00441208B24892
English Summary/英文概要： People around the world have completely different ideas and opinions about America.
Some, for example
• Know only a little about the country
• Know only about Hollywood films or pop music
• Think they know enough to make up their own minds about America
• Are fascinated by America
• Long to visit America
• Dream of getting an education or a job here
• Want to move to the U.S.
• Come to the U.S. to make their lives here
• Live in the States but dream of leaving
All of these people live in various countries, speak various languages, and have various ethnic and cultural traditions. But what do they all have in common?
They all want to know more about the country that shapes so much of what goes on in our world today.
In hopes of learning more, every year more than 31 million foreigners visit the United States.
Every year, more than three hundred thousand students come to study or spend a semester abroad at U.S. colleges and universities. Every year, more than a million people begin a new life in America, coming to the country as legal or illegal immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers. Every year, more than half a million people become U.S. citizens, either through naturalization or birth on U.S. soil. And each and every one of them, just like the explorers of yesteryear, is constantly discovering his or her own personal America.
