问题 　　The culture of the United States is a Western culture originally
influenced by European cultures. It has been developed since long before the【S1】________
United States became a country with its own unique social and cultural
characteristics such as dialect, music, arts, social habits, cuisine and
folklore. Today, the United States of America is an ethnically and racially
diverse country in a result of large-scale immigration from many different【S2】________
countries throughout its history.
　　Its chief early influences came from English and Irish settlers of
colonial America. British culture, due to colonial ties to Britain that spread【S3】________
the English language, legal system and other cultural inheritances, had a
formal influence. Other important influences came from other parts of【S4】________
western Europe, especially Germany, France and Italy.
　　Original elements also act a strong role, such as the invention of【S5】________
Jeffersonian Democracy. Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia
was perhaps the first influenced domestic cultural critique by an American【S6】________
and a reactionary piece to the prevailing European consensus that America’s
domestic originality was degenerate. Prevalent ideas and ideals
which evolved domestic such as national holidays, unique American sports, 【S7】________
military tradition and innovations in the arts and entertainment gives a strong【S8】________
sense of national pride among the population as a whole.
　　American culture includes both conservative and liberal elements,
military and scientific competitiveness, political structures, risk take and【S9】________
free expression, materialist and moral elements. Despite of certain【S10】________
consistent ideological principles (e.g. individualism, egalitarianism, and
faith in freedom and democracy), American culture has a variety of
expressions due to its geographical scale and demographic diversity.
