mountain.” in their homeland they had heard the words, “theres 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 people” 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 chow 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.21. 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 wanted to seek fortunes there. d. because they could open laundries and restaurants there. 22. the underlined word “resented” mean “_”. a. liked b. hated c.helped d. served23. the following things were mentioned in the passage except_. a. many chinese returned to china by the end of the 1850s. b. many chinese opened shops to help wash clothes. c. many chinese picked gold around the old mines. d. some chinese became drivers. 24. 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 americabso many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful event. stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to usbelieving this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.a friend of mine recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. she said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. when i suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “i cant do that. hes the one who should apologize.” after a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. to her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. as is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. we start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. they are not. if you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. the way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. let other people be right. this doesnt mean that youre wrong. everything will be fine. youll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. they might even reach back. but, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. youll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.25. the underlined word “rekindle” in paragraph 1 probably means “ ”. a. recover b. develop c. accept d. replace26. in the authors opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think . a. we can turn small issues into big ones b. our happiness is more important c. our own opinions matter most d. others will be less defensive27.the best thing to do after a quarrel is to . a. let go of our own rights b. realize that you are wrong c. expect others to give in d. apologize to others first28. what does the author want to tell us? a. be peaceful b. reach out and give c. small and big stuff d. enjoy your friendshipcviolin prodigies (神童), i learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in russia and eastern europe. i asked isaac stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “it is very clear,” he told me. “they were all jews and jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. they were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” as a result, every jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the west.another element in the appearance of prodigies, i found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the far east. “in japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says isaac stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. when western music came to japan after world war ii, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. the koreans and chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the japanese.thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. next to hard work, biological inheritance（遗传） plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. j. s. bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.29.jewish parents in eastern europe longed for their children to attend music school because _.a. jewish children are born with excellent musical talentb. it would allow them access to a better life in the westc. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldd. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country30.nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that _.a. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentb. are highly motivated in the education of musicc. encourage people to compete with each otherd. promise talented children high positions31.which of the following contributes to the appearance of musical prodigies according to the passage?a.very early training.b. extensive knowledge of music.c. a natural gift.d. a prejudice-free society.32.which of the following titles best summarizes the main idea of the passage?a. jewish contribution to music b. training of musicians in the worldc. music and societyd. the making of music prodigiesd fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting（收缩）and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.sarah garfinkel at the brighton and sussex medical school said：“our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”the study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. dr garfinkel said, “the study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont seeand guide whether we see fear.”to further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear.“we have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” dr garfinkel said.“we hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”33what is the finding of the study?a. ones heart affects how he feels fear.b. fear is a result of ones relaxed heartbeat.c. fear has something to do with ones health.d. ones fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.34the study was carried out by analyzing _.a. volunteers heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesb. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsc. volunteers reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansd. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication35this study may contribute to _a. finding the key to the heart-brain communicationb. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyc. treating anxiety and stress better d. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how can i fight laziness?lazy people will never amount to anything
