Touring the U. S.

　　

　　People from all over the world like to travel to the U. S. . Millions of people visit it each year, and they spend billions of dollars. Tourism is actually one of the leading industries of this country. Many people like to visit famous U. S. cities, such as New York City, Washington D. C., Miami, Chicago, Dallas, New Orleans, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Each of these cities has many tourist attractions (旅游景點(diǎn)). For example, New York has Broadway plays, and it has also some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center. The World Trade Centre which was 411 metres high and had 110 storeys with a twin towers used to be and office building for 1,200 firms from all over the world. Although it was destroyed completely by terrorists (恐怖分子)last year, its site remains a spot reminding tourists of terrorists' cruelty and human's heroic spirit. Washington has government buildings as well as monuments and museums. Dallas has the site of President Kennedy's murder (謀殺案). New Orleans has jazz music and the cities in California have many ethnic (少數(shù)民族的) groups with lots of unique food, Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida are very popular attractions for tourists with children. The space centers in Florida and Texas are popular sites for people of all ages to visit.

　　Some tourists prefer sites with natural beauty in rural settings. The mountains in the East and the West are very popular with campers, hikers (徒步旅行者) and climbers. Some come just to ski and stay in fancy ski resorts (勝地) like Aspen and Vail. Others come just to golf at nice golf resorts like Pinehurst, which is now partly owned by the Japanese who love golf. Some come to watch sports, but tickets can be expensive. It costs $ 100 just to get a back row seat to see a Chicago Bulls game. Two of the most popular places for tourists to visit are the Grand Canyon (大峽谷)and Yellowstone National Park (黃石國(guó)家公園). At times Yellowstone is so crowded with tourists that it seems to be a city. With the growing popularity of country music many people now visit Nashville where most of the country music recordings are made or Branson where many stars have their own theatres.
