Warren Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 until his death in 1923. 小题1: One was a successful international conference (会议).
After World War One, Britain, Japan and the United States expanded their navies (海军). They built bigger and bigger ships. Many members of the United States Congress worried about the cost. 小题2: They asked President Harding to organize a conference to discuss these issues.
小题3: President Harding invited representatives from the major naval powers of the time Britain, Japan, France and Italy. He also invited representatives from countries with interests in Asia and Europe China, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands. He did not invite the new Soviet leaders in Russia.
Mr Harding’s Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes, spoke. 小题4: He proposed that the world’s strongest nations should stop building warships for ten years. He also proposed that Britain, Japan, and the United States should destroy some ships to make their navies smaller immediately.
小题5: It involved the misuse of underground oil owned by the federal government. Warren Harding was an honest man. But he did not have a strong mind of his own. He was easily influenced. And he often accepted bad advice. He explained the problem with these words, “I listen to one side, and they seem right. Then I listen to the other side, and they seem just as right. I know that somewhere there is a man who knows the truth. But I do not know where to find him.”
A.He is remembered mostly for two events. |
B.The conference was not a complete success. |
C.They also worried about increased political tension (紧张) in Asia. |
D.The conference was held in Washington in November, 1921. |
F. He offered the conference a detailed plan to reduce the size of the world’s major navies.
G. The second thing for which President Harding is remembered is the Teapot Dome scandal (丑闻).
Some students who had graduated visited their university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. To offer his guests coffee, the professor 小题1: (go) to the kitchen and returned with a pot of coffee and 小题2: variety of cups—porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking, some expensive—telling them to help 小题3: to the coffee.
小题4: was when all the students had a cup of coffee in hand that he said, “All the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, 小题5: (leave) behind the plain and cheap ones. Actually, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. 小题6: all of you really want is coffee, not the cup.You consciously went for the best cups, 小题7: then you began eyeing others’ cups.”
“Now consider this Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups, 小题8: are just tools to hold and contain life. The type of cup we have does not change the quality of life . If we concentrate only 小题9: the cups, we fail to enjoy the coffee. I 小题10: (true) hope that you will never let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.”
Imagine living in a country torn by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move — not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.
People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities.
Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees. Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought.
Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.
Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America’s shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.
Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life.
The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canada. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America’s Atlantic Coast.
In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colonies. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.
Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
Today, the U.S. government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if caught, would be sent back to their home countries.

Family Values
To understand a nation, you should first get to know its minimum unit-family.小题1:
In the US, upon reaching an appropriate age, children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life.小题2:Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married.Young adults meet their future spouses(配偶)through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions.Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families.A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job.小题3:A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father’s workplace.This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family.
小题4: It is not like we Chinese.Parents are rulers and masters.We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect.In America, children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents, like family financial situation, the relationship between mother and father, and even sex.
小题5:Therefore, it is contrary that, on one hand, Americans admire independence and equality that they don’t want to make sacrifice to make up a family, but on the other hand, Americans thing highly of family in their value system.
A.In the American family, children and parents are equal. |
B.It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation. |
C.When it comes to big problems, children do not have to always follow their parents’ ways. |
D.After children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. |
F.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence.
G.Many of them are expected to leave what could be life’s most important decision - marriage almost entirely up to luck.
