27、er incomes than Americans in general and higher occupational status. The Chinese have risen to this position despite some of the harshest discrimination and violence faced by any immigrants to the United States in the history of this country. Long confined to a narrow range of occupations, they succ
28、eeded in those occupations and then spread out into other areas in later years, when opportunities finally opened up for them. Today much of the Chinese prosperity is due to the simple fact that they work more and have more (usually better) education than others. Almost one out of five Chinese famil
29、ies has three or more income earners compared to one out of thirteen for Puerto Ricans, one out of ten among American Indians, and one out of eight among Whites. When the Chinese advantages in working and educational are held constant, they have no advantage over other Americans. That is in a Chines
30、e Family with a given number of people working and with a given amount of education by the head of the family; the income is not only about average for such families, but offer a little less than average. While Chinese Americans as a group are prosperous and well-educated Chinatowns are pockets of p
31、overty, and illiteracy is much higher among the Chinese than among Americans in general. Those paradoxes are due to sharp internal differences. Descendants of the Chinese Americans who emigrated long ago from Toishan Province have maintained Chinese values and have added acculturation to American so
32、ciety with remarkable success. More recent Hong Kong Chinese are from more diverse cultural origins, and acquired western values and styles in Hong Kong, without having acquired the skills to proper and support those aspirations in the American economy. Foreign- born Chinese men in the United States
33、 earn one-fourth lower incomes than native-born Chinese even though the foreign-born have been in the United States an average of seventeen years. While the older Hong Kong Chinese work tenaciously to sustain and advance themselves, the Hong Kong Chinese youths often react with resentment and antiso
34、cial behavior, including terrorism and murder. The need to maintain tourism in Chinatown causes the Chinese leaders to mute or downplay these problems as much as possible.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, today, Chinese Americans owe their prosperity to _.（分数：2.00）A.their diligence and better
35、education than othersB.their support of American governmentC.their fight against discriminationsD.advantages in working only(2).The passage is mainly concerned with _.（分数：2.00）A.Chinese Americans todayB.social status of Chinese Americans todayC.incomes and occupational status of Chinese Americans to

38、oreign-born Chinese earn lower income than native-born Chinese Americans with the similar advantages in the U. SD.None of the above.(5).According to the author, which of the following can best describe the older Hong Kong Chinese and the younger? _（分数：2.00）A.Tenacious; rebellion.B.Conservative; open
39、-minded.C.Out-of-date; fashionable.D.Obedient; disobedient.Up-Minneapolis, MNA father was recently arrested by the police for spanking his child, starting a debate among the American public about spanking. Is spanking, or other types of corporal punishment, an acceptable form of discipline for child
40、ren? Or is it a form of child abuse? The case that everyone has talking is the arrest of Dale Clover, a thirty-six-year-old father of three, at a shopping mall in St. Louis, Missouri. He was arrested after an employee at the mall saw him spanking his five-year-old son, Donny, and called the police.
41、The father was arrested for child abuse. Mr. Clover admits that he hit his son but says that it wasn“t child abuse. He says it was discipline. Across the country, parents disagree on this issue: What is the difference between loving discipline and child abuse? Some parents like Rhonda Moore see a cl
42、ear difference between spanking and child abuse. Rhonda Moore believes a little bit of pain is necessary to teach a child what is right and wrong. “It“s like burning your hand when you touch a hot stove. Pain is nature“s way of teaching us.“ Moore believes that spanking is done out of love, but chil
43、d abuse is done out of anger, when the parent loses control. “When I spank my children, I always talk to them before and afterward, and explain why they are being spanked. I explain what they did wrong, and they remember not to do it again.“ Moore says that her children respect her as a parent and u
44、nderstand that she is spanking them for their own good. In contrast, Taylor Robinson, father of four, feels that parents should never hit their children for any reason. Robinson wants his children to learn right and wrong, but not because they are afraid of being hit. “Spanking teaches children to f
45、ear their parents, not respect them. When a parent spanks a child, what the child learns is that problems should be solved with violence.“ Robinson believes that children learn that it is acceptable for parents to hurt their children. “None of these are lessons that I want to teach my children. I wa
46、nt my children to learn to talk about their problems and solve them without violence, but spanking doesn“t teach that.“ Parents are split about corporal punishment, and doctors also disagree about the issue. Dr. John Oparah thinks our child abuse laws sometimes go too far; that is, they make it diff
47、icult for parents to discipline their children. Oparah says that today many children do not respect their parents. “Children need strong, loving discipline. Sometimes spanking is the best way to get a child“s attention, to make sure the child listens to the parent.“ Most doctors, however, say that there are many harmful effects of spanking. Dr. Beverly Lau is opposed to spanking. Lau argues that spanking can lead to more violent behavior in children. She points to research shows that children who are spanked are more violent when they grow up. “
