Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children should take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer.An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do,and it helps.Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture,such as family value,the importance of education and so on that lead to their success.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they could cause the native Americans’unhappiness.Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants(移民)were unequally treated because of social separation.Indeed,it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

试题【In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing US minority.】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In some countries,laws stop people from moving freely from place to place.Over the centuries,many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race,religion,or nationality.In the Middle Ages,for example,Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities.South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country.Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.
Countries set up customs posts at their borders.Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country.Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证).Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year.Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country,or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.
Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments disagree with each other on important matters,they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely.Countries often try to keep military or lndustrial information secret.
Today,people have the ability to travel,to communicate,and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before.Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily.The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome.But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers,people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.
小题1:Choose the best title for the passage.
A.Progress of Human Society |
B.Restrictions on Transportation |
C.Functions of Communication |
D.Barriers Made by People |
A.travellers have to carry special papers such as visas |
B.customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries |
C.people have been allowed to travel freely within the country |
D.people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons |
A.intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others |
B.think such freedom will lead to wars |
C.often disagree with each other on important matters |
D.want to show their authority over communication |
A.people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries |
B.people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves |

Indeed,the old can be easily hurt or harmed.The old is like a car: it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older.You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts.But never forget that such operations are painful experiences,however good the results are.And at what point should you stop to treat the old body?Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active,knowing that it is designed to die?You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide,because so long as they can see the technical chances,they will feel it necessary to give them a try,by the rule that while there’s life,there’s hope.
Talking to the old,however,you’re forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or health than it does on your ability to have fun.
小题1:After reading Paragraph 1,we learn that____.
A.very old people are able to keep their living places very clean |
B.old people enjoy living alone so as to have more personal freedom |
C.every old people enjoy living with their relatives |
D.social services have nothing to do with very old people |
A.old people should keep their living places clean |
B.one should not take risk dealing with old people |
C.health and safety are more important than personal freedom |
D.personal freedom is more important than health and safety |
A.one’s memory or health |
B.the conclusion you have come to |
C.whether age is happy or unpleasant |
D.your talk to the old people |
A.it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death |
B.the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is uncertain |
C.old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich |
D.medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors |
A baby generally unformed facial features.A baby,according to Birdwhistell,learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around family and friends.This helps explain why the people of some regions of the United States look so much lilke.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common facial characteristics that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学).The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth,it is learned later.In fact,the final mouth shape is not formed until well after permanent(永久的)teeth are set.For many,this can be well into adolescence(青春期).A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike.We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas.In the United States,for example,the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently.In New England they smile less,and in the western part of New York State still less.Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly,partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peach Tree Street jn Atlanta,Georgia.People in densely(稠密地)populated urban areas also tend to smile and greet each other in public less than people in rural areas and small towns.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First,friends,relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us.Our self-respect is stengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties.Second,other people often provide us with informational support.They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them.Third.we typically find social companionship supportive.Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力)us f rom our worries and troubles.Finally,other people may give us instrumental support--money aid,material resources,and needed services--that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.

Terence,an experienced traveller who has been to Iraq,will be the guest of honour on aviation(飞行)legend Burt Rutan’s Spaceship One when it flies above Earth.The mission takes off from California on September 29, and on his return the loveable toy will be auctioned off(拍卖)in aid of the North AIR Ambulance Appeal(北部空中救护服务中心).
Spaceship One is the world’s first private spacecraft,and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize.Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS),Graham Pickering,said”flying officer”Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since.
He said,“Terence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft,trying parachuting and even looking drunk and disorderly.When the RAF finally discharege him he will be a very rare bear indeed‑--we just hope he does not bum up on re‑entry to Earth”.
GNAAS,which needs charitable donations of more than £2m a year,has three air ambulances(空中救护机).
Peter Bond,spokesman for the Royal Astronimical Society,said Terence’s safety was not guaranteed. He said,“This is a new experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown.During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved.”
Since May,Terence has spent time with members of 100 squadron(空军中队)based at RAF Leeming Basra.Iraq,and at air shows with performing fighter planes.
Spaceship One will fly 100km(62 miles) above the Earth’s surface,just breaking through the planet’s atmosphere.
