In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing US minority.As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools,it became clear that a new kind of culture was coming out.Their achievements are made in the nation’s best universities,where mathematics,science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character.This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college.Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively(客觀).And the money spent on education is more immediately returned in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
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.
【小題1】Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because .
A.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areas |
B.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures |
C.they know little about American cultures and Western cultures |
D.their English is not good enough |
A.people majoring in engineering are respected |
B.people with an arts degree are looked down upon |
C.they can’t find a job with an arts degree |
D.they can earn more money after graduation |
A.a(chǎn)re afraid that their academic successes take on a strong Asian character |
B.still worry about unfair treatment in society |
C.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents |
D.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English |
A.Asian culture and the American educational system |
B.Asian culture and a solid base in basic mathematics |
C.hard work and parental help |
D.hard work and a limited knowledge of English |

解析【小題1】根據(jù)文章第一段倒數(shù)第二句可知,既然在理科他們會(huì)得到更客觀的評(píng)價(jià),不公正待遇少一些,言外之意即在人文學(xué)科他們得不到客觀評(píng)價(jià),受不到公正待遇。
【小題1】根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句可知,用于教育上的錢,學(xué)理科,如工程學(xué)比學(xué)文科回報(bào)得更快,所以選D項(xiàng)。
【小題1】文章第三段說他們擔(dān)心自己的成功會(huì)使美國(guó)人不高興,并聯(lián)想到華人在美國(guó)受到社會(huì)分隔的不公平待遇,從而推知其憂慮之所在。
【小題1】從文中描述可判斷出,亞裔美國(guó)人在本國(guó)文化背景中,奠定了良好的數(shù)學(xué)基礎(chǔ),在美國(guó)最好的大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí),取得了學(xué)術(shù)成就,其父母敦促他們充分利用美國(guó)的教育體制,以及研究人員的發(fā)現(xiàn),從中推知,本土文化與美國(guó)教育制度二者缺一不可。

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth.Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.
Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope.After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope".The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had.It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer.However, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted (實(shí)現(xiàn)) , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted.She also asked tW it be done 44 January 16, 2011.Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds (資金) were simply 46 .They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well.Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged.Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope’s dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well.At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.Her wish had been granted!

W Taipei
The W Hotel is among the city’s big-name luxury(奢華) hotels. Futuristic and fancy, the W Taipei’s setting is reminding you of a Lady Gaga video; perhaps that explains why the singer insisted on staying here on a recent visit. There are eight room types to choose from, with names such as Fabulous and Extreme Wow. They vary wildly in style.
10 Zhongxiao E. Road, Sect. 5, Xin Yi Area Taipei City Hall MRT; +886 2 7703 8888; from NT$8,900 (US$299); www.wtaipei.com
Grand Hotel
If sleeping in landmarks is your thing, the Taipei Grand Hotel is a must. The Grand is an expression of classical Chinese art mixed with Western construction principles. The Grand Hotel is attractive and full of history, but rooms are aging, so don’t expect the inside to be as “grand” as the outside. You can enjoy yourself at a driving range of golf, year-round pools and no fewer than eight restaurants.
No. 1, Lane 1, Zhongshan N. Road, Section 4 shuttle from Yuan Shan MRT; +886 2 2886 8888; from NT$4,800 (US$165); www.grand-hotel.org
Dandy Hotel
From free drinks and snacks in the lobby(大堂) to seasonally themed decorations, this hotel takes care of the small touches. But what places the Dandy Hotel above others in the same price category(范圍)are views over Da-An Park; they’re reminders of those of New York’s Central Park. Rooms with views are worth the extra money paid, but book early -- there are only two on each floor.
No. 33, Xin Yi Road, Sect. 3, Dongmen MRT; +886 2 2707 6899; from NT$2,340 (US$80); www.dandyhotel.com.tw
Homey Hostel
Taiwanese brother and sister Josh and Kelly make guests feel right at home at this bargain Hostel. According to them, their motive in starting the hostel was to make friends, which is why they can often be found in the public area chatting with guests. There's a small kitchen, public computer, free coffee and tea, and luggage storage.
1/F, No. 7, Lane 180, Tonghua Street,) Liuzhangli MRT; +886 91900 2116; dorms from NT$500 (US$17); www.homeyhostel.com
