To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.” They sailed 7,000 miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too. Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.

Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.

By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.

The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.

1. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s? A. Because they could find good jobs there. B. Because they had found gold there.

C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there. D. Because they heard there was gold there.

B. Many Chinese opened shops to help wash clothes. C. Many Chinese picked gold around the old mines. D. Many Chinese returned to China by the end of the 1850s. 4. Which should be the title of the passage? A. Early Chinese immigrants in America B. Dream to strike it rich

C. The difference between men and women D. Gold miners in America

Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985, Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the University of Texas System adminitration for not encouraging women.The University was rated among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update, Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement.

One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs.

College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon, said it is important that woman be flexible when it comes to relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.

Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed, she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.

Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist.

\"Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University.\" Spirduso said. \"If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time.\" 5.According to Spirduso,women need to ____. a.produce a report on sexual discrimination

Today, as in every other day of the year ,more than 3000 U.S. Adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths

attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.

Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive ,several important issues must be raised.

First, in the past several years,smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicate high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent .

Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context,the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.

10.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by _____. a.traffic accidents b.smoking-related desease c.murder d.all of these 11.Every day there are over_____high school strdents who will become regular smoker. a.75 b.23 c.30 d.3000 12.By \"dropout\" the author means______. a.students who failed the examination b.students who left school c.students who lost their way

d.students who were driven out of school

13.The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________. a.NCI has taken effective measures

b.smoking is prevented among high school seniors c.there are many smokers who have died of cancer d.none of these

14.What is implied but not stated by the author is that ________. a.smoking rates among youth have declined very little

b.there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniors c.high smoking rates are due to the incease in wealth

d.smoking at high school are from low socio-economic backgrounds

D

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additivies,caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

15.What is the best possible title of the passage? a.Drug and Food b.Cancer and Health c.Food and Health d.Health and Drug 16.Which of the following statements is NOT ture?

a.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

b.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

c.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-five years.

d.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world. 17.How has science done something harmful to mankind?

a.Because of science , diseases caused by polluted food haven been virtually eliminated. b.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.

c.Because of the application of science,some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.

d.The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not of vegetables.
