Using SLR to focus subject and background both?

I recently shifted from point and Shoot camera (Canon A720) to Nikon D3000. I am still learning to use it… but one difference that quickly noticed is that when using Auto mode, If i take a picture of a person with some scenic background, e.g. mountains or flowers etc, it keep the person in sharp focus but blur the background… IT completely spoils the picture..Am i supposed to use a different setting to keep both person/subject as well as background both in focus?
