查了一下百科全书下面是一些美国景点的介绍
White House
formerly known as the Executive Mansion (1810–1902) the official office and residence of the president of the United States at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.in Washington,D.C.The White House and its landscaped grounds occupy 18 acres (7.2 hectares).Since the administration of George Washington (1789–97),who occupied presidential residences in New York and Philadelphia,every American president has resided at the White House.Originally called the “President's Palace” on early maps,the building was officially named the Executive Mansion in 1810 in order to avoid connotations of royalty.Although the name “White House” was commonly used from about the same time (because the mansion's white-gray sandstone contrasted strikingly with the red brick of nearby buildings),it did not become the official name of the building until 1902,when it was adopted by President Theodore Roosevelt (1901–09).The White House is the oldest federal building in the nation's capital.

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls in the Niagara River,W N.Y.and S Ont.,Canada; one of the most famous spectacles in North America.The falls are on the international line between the cities of Niagara Falls,N.Y.,and Niagara Falls,Ont.Goat Island splits the cataract into the American Falls (167 ft/51 m high and 1,060 ft/323 m wide) and the Horseshoe,or Canadian,Falls (158 ft/48 m high and 2,600 ft/792 m wide).The governments of the United States and Canada control the appearance of the surrounding area,much of which has been included in parks since 1885.
The earliest written description of the falls is that of Louis Hennepin (in Nouvelle Découverte,1697),who was with the expedition of Robert Cavelier,sieur de La Salle,the French explorer,in 1678.In the 19th cent.,daredevils attempted to brave the falls in barrels,boats,and rubber balls.The great Blondin performed (1859) on a tightrope over the falls,which continue to be a major center of international tourism.Historical and natural history material relating to the region is in the Niagara Falls Museum in the city of Niagara Falls,N.Y.

1 English is the official language of at least twenty-eight states—some sources give a higher figure, based on differing definitions of "official." English and Hawaiian are both official languages in the state of Hawaii.
2 English is the de facto language of American government and the sole language spoken at home by 82% of Americans age five and older. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language.
3 Sometimes listed as fourth largest in area; the rank is disputed with China (PRC). The U.S. figure includes only the fifty states and the District of Columbia, not the territories.
4 The population estimate includes people whose usual residence is in the fifty states and the District of Columbia, including noncitizens. It does not include either those living in the territories, amounting to more than four million U.S. citizens (most in Puerto Rico), or U.S. citizens living outside the United States.
The United States of America is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to its east and Russia to the west across the Bering Strait, and the state of Hawaii is in the mid-Pacific. The United States also possesses several territories, or insular areas, that are scattered around the Caribbean and Pacific.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km²) and with over 300 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and third largest by land area and by population. The United States is one of the world's most ethnically diverse nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.[7] The U.S. economy is the largest national economy in the world, with a nominal 2006 gross domestic product (GDP) of more than US$13 trillion (over 19% share of the world total based on purchasing-power-parity (PPP)).[4]
The nation was founded by thirteen colonies of Great Britain located along the Atlantic seaboard. Proclaiming themselves "states," they issued the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The rebellious states defeated Britain in the American Revolutionary War, the first successful colonial war of independence.[8] A federal convention adopted the current United States Constitution on September 17, 1787; its ratification the following year made the states part of a single republic. The Bill of Rights, comprising ten constitutional amendments, was ratified in 1791.
In the nineteenth century, the United States acquired land from France, Spain, Mexico, and Russia, and annexed the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Hawaii. Disputes between the agrarian South and industrial North over states' rights and the expansion of the institution of slavery provoked the American Civil War of the 1860s. The North's victory prevented a permanent split of the country and led to the end of slavery in the United States. The Spanish-American War and World War I confirmed the nation's status as a military power. In 1945, the United States emerged from World War II as the first country with nuclear weapons, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, and a founding member of NATO. The United States is the only military superpower in the post–Cold War era and a dominant economic, political, and cultural force in the world.[9]
