二、氣候條件
In the heart of the US Midwest region and the so-called ‘Corn Belt’, Iowa has long been known for its agricultural strength.gaining the nickname ‘food capital of the world.But, while cereal crops are still big business, in recent years this fertile state has successfully diversified its economy, establishing itself as one of the US’s top destinations for young professionals.In 2012, Iowan capital Des Moines ranked second (after Washington, D.C.) in Forbes magazine’s list of the best US cities for jobs. In 2011 Forbes named it the best city for young professionals, and in 2010 it topped the magazine’s list of the best US regions for business and careers.This success is largely based on Iowa’s strengths in the agriculture, biotech and financial industries, with major employers including Principal Life Insurance Company, Wells Fargo Bank, Pioneer Hi-Bred, and of course John Deere (tractors remain the state’s most profitable commodity export).As well as having a higher concentration of large companies than any other city assessed in the Forbes studies, Des Moines also has high numbers of start-ups and expanding businesses.Unsurprisingly, the city is a popular destination for recent graduates. Opportunities for career progression are good, and while salaries are by no means the highest in the US, living costs are relatively low – making for a highly attractive overall package.Iowa is also at the forefront when it comes to US politics. The Iowa caucus is the first major electoral event in the long, state-by-state process of selecting US presidential candidates for both the Republican and Democratic parties – making it a particularly exciting place to be during electoral campaigns.
Iowa is part of the ‘Midwest’ region of the US. This term is not always used in the same way, and can be confusing as many of the states included are much further east than you might expect!However, in the categorization used by the US Census Bureau, the Midwest refers to a group of 12 states in the north of the US. Iowa is right in the centre of these, with the other 11 Midwestern states being Minnesota, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.It’s usual to hear Iowa’s geography described as flatland, but you’ll also find gentle hills and valleys, prairies and savannahs, wooded areas, lakes and rivers – most notably the Missouri River, along the western border, and the Mississippi River, which runs the full length of the eastern side of the state.After Des Moines, notable cities include Iowa City, Sioux City, Fort Dodge, Davenport, Dubuque and Cedar Rapids.
在美國(guó)中西部地區(qū)和所謂的“玉米帶”的中心地帶，愛(ài)荷華州長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)因其農(nóng)業(yè)優(yōu)勢(shì)而聞名。獲得“世界糧食之都”的稱(chēng)號(hào)。但是，盡管谷類(lèi)作物仍然是一項(xiàng)大生意，但近年來(lái)，這個(gè)肥沃的州已經(jīng)成功地使其經(jīng)濟(jì)多樣化，成為美國(guó)年輕專(zhuān)業(yè)人士的首選目的地之一。2012年，在《福布斯》雜志的美國(guó)最佳就業(yè)城市排行榜上，艾奧瓦首都得梅因排在第二位(僅次于華盛頓特區(qū))。2011年，《福布斯》雜志將它評(píng)為年輕專(zhuān)業(yè)人士的最佳城市，并在2010年榮登該雜志《商業(yè)與職業(yè)最佳地區(qū)》的榜首。這一成功很大程度上是基于愛(ài)荷華在農(nóng)業(yè)、生物技術(shù)和金融行業(yè)的優(yōu)勢(shì)，主要雇主包括主要的人壽保險(xiǎn)公司、富國(guó)銀行、先鋒養(yǎng)殖公司，當(dāng)然還有約翰迪爾(拖拉機(jī)仍然是該州最賺錢(qián)的商品出口)。除了在福布斯研究中評(píng)估的其他城市中，大型公司的集中度更高，得梅因也擁有大量的初創(chuàng)企業(yè)和擴(kuò)張的業(yè)務(wù)。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，這座城市是應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生的熱門(mén)目的地。職業(yè)發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì)是好的，盡管薪水在美國(guó)不是最高的，但生活成本相對(duì)較低——這是一個(gè)非常有吸引力的整體方案。
艾奧瓦州在美國(guó)政治方面也處于領(lǐng)先地位。愛(ài)荷華州的黨團(tuán)會(huì)議是長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)的第一次重大選舉活動(dòng)，這是一項(xiàng)各州逐州的選舉過(guò)程，選舉共和黨和民主黨的總統(tǒng)候選人，使之成為競(jìng)選活動(dòng)中一個(gè)特別激動(dòng)人心的地方。愛(ài)荷華州是美國(guó)中西部地區(qū)的一部分。這一術(shù)語(yǔ)并不總是以同樣的方式使用，而且可能會(huì)令人困惑，因?yàn)榘脑S多國(guó)家遠(yuǎn)比你想象的要遠(yuǎn)!然而，在美國(guó)人口普查局使用的分類(lèi)中，中西部指的是美國(guó)北部的12個(gè)州。愛(ài)荷華州正好位于這些州的中心，其他11個(gè)中西部州分別是明尼蘇達(dá)州、伊利諾斯州、北達(dá)科他州、南達(dá)科他州、內(nèi)布拉斯加州、堪薩斯州、密蘇里州、印第安納州、俄亥俄州、密歇根州和威斯康辛州。平時(shí)聽(tīng)愛(ài)荷華州的地理描述為平地,但是你也會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)溫柔的山丘和山谷,大草原,大草原,樹(shù)木繁茂的地區(qū),湖泊和河流——尤其是密蘇里河,沿著西部邊境,和密西西比河,東邊的完整的狀態(tài)。在得梅因之后，著名的城市包括艾奧瓦市、蘇城、福特道奇、達(dá)文波特、杜布克和錫達(dá)拉皮茲。
三、愛(ài)荷華州的頂尖大學(xué)
Iowa’s highest ranked university is the University of Iowa (pictured), in Iowa City, which makes the top 200 of the 2011/12 QS World University Rankings.The university offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate and professional (more vocational) degrees, and has a fairly diverse student community.An estimated 55% of students come from within Iowa, 25% from adjoining states, 9% from other US states, and about 10% are international students, from 100 different countries.Iowa City is known as a hub of arts and culture, and this is very much a part of student life at the University of Iowa – with regular events including jazz and pop concerts, and visiting talks from artists, writers and scientists.Meanwhile the university’s graduate-level creative writing program – known as the Iowa Writers’ Workshop – has a well-founded reputation for producing successful authors. To date, alumni of the course have collected 17 Pulitzer Prizes, and numerous other awards.However, creative writing is by no means the university’s only strength. It is also well known for research in fields including agricultural medicine, biomedical sciences, pharmacology, genetics, hydraulics, space research and speech and hearing.
Iowa State University (ISU), located in Ames, to the north of Des Moines, also performs strongly in the rankings – appearing in the top 300 of the 2011/12 QS World University Rankings.Like the University of Iowa, ISU has strengths in a wide range of academic fields, and an internationally diverse student community. Meanwhile Ames offers the attractions of small-town life, without the risk of boredom. It has its own share of cultural venues, sporting events and outdoor activities – and if you do want to explore a larger city, Des Moines is only a 30-minute journey away.Iowa’s third public university is the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), in Cedar Falls, which is also well respected both in Iowa and beyond.A much higher percentage of UNI’s students come from within Iowa, compared to the other two state colleges, but nonetheless the university has a strong focus on internationalization. It has a dedicated Center for Multicultural Education, and runs a popular study-abroad program, having established partnerships with universities around the world.In addition to these three state universities, Iowa has many private colleges, and there are also community colleges across the state. The latter offer shorter courses, including two-year associate’s degrees, which can then be followed by a further two years to complete a full.
愛(ài)荷華州排名最高的大學(xué)是愛(ài)荷華大學(xué)，該大學(xué)在2011 -12 QS世界大學(xué)排名中進(jìn)入了前200名。該大學(xué)提供了廣泛的本科、研究生和專(zhuān)業(yè)(更職業(yè)化)學(xué)位，并擁有相當(dāng)多元化的學(xué)生群體。據(jù)估計(jì)，55%的學(xué)生來(lái)自愛(ài)荷華州，25%來(lái)自毗鄰州，9%來(lái)自美國(guó)其他州，約10%來(lái)自100個(gè)不同國(guó)家的國(guó)際學(xué)生。愛(ài)荷華市被認(rèn)為是藝術(shù)和文化的中心，這是愛(ài)荷華大學(xué)學(xué)生生活的一個(gè)重要組成部分，包括爵士樂(lè)和流行音樂(lè)會(huì)，以及來(lái)自藝術(shù)家、作家和科學(xué)家的訪(fǎng)問(wèn)演講。與此同時(shí)，該大學(xué)的研究生水平的創(chuàng)意寫(xiě)作項(xiàng)目——愛(ài)荷華作家工作室——在培養(yǎng)成功的作家方面有著良好的聲譽(yù)。到目前為止，這門(mén)課程的校友已經(jīng)獲得了17個(gè)普利策獎(jiǎng)和無(wú)數(shù)其他獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。然而，創(chuàng)造性寫(xiě)作并不是大學(xué)唯一的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)。它在農(nóng)業(yè)醫(yī)學(xué)、生物醫(yī)學(xué)科學(xué)、藥理學(xué)、遺傳學(xué)、水力學(xué)、空間研究、語(yǔ)音和聽(tīng)覺(jué)等領(lǐng)域的研究也很有名。
愛(ài)荷華州立大學(xué)，位于艾姆斯，位于得梅因北部，在排名中也表現(xiàn)強(qiáng)勁——在2011 /12 QS世界大學(xué)排名的前300名中出現(xiàn)。與愛(ài)荷華大學(xué)一樣，愛(ài)荷華州立大學(xué)在廣泛的學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域擁有優(yōu)勢(shì)，在國(guó)際上擁有多元化的學(xué)生群體。與此同時(shí)，艾姆斯也提供了小鎮(zhèn)生活的吸引力，沒(méi)有厭倦的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。它有自己的文化場(chǎng)所、體育賽事和戶(hù)外活動(dòng)——如果你想要探索一個(gè)更大的城市，得梅因離這里只有30分鐘的路程。
愛(ài)荷華州第三所公立大學(xué)是位于雪松瀑布校區(qū)的愛(ài)荷華大學(xué)，在愛(ài)荷華州和其他地方都很受尊敬。與其他兩所州立大學(xué)相比，來(lái)自愛(ài)荷華州的學(xué)生的比例要高得多，但這所大學(xué)對(duì)國(guó)際化有著強(qiáng)烈的關(guān)注。它有一個(gè)專(zhuān)門(mén)的多元文化教育中心，并開(kāi)設(shè)了一個(gè)很受歡迎的海外留學(xué)項(xiàng)目，與世界各地的大學(xué)建立了合作關(guān)系。除了這三所州立大學(xué)，愛(ài)荷華州還有許多私立大學(xué)，而且該州也有社區(qū)學(xué)院。后者提供了較短的課程，包括兩年的副學(xué)士學(xué)位，然后再加上兩年的時(shí)間來(lái)完成全部課程。
