The immigrants(移民) can learn English to keep the United States united, but it is unfair to have to drop their culture for an American way of life. I believe that recent immigrants should learn English in order to live in this country. If they dont learn English, they wont be able to communicate and do what they want. Anita, one of my mothers friends, came here from Ecuador（厄瓜多尔） three years ago. She does not speak English. One day her daughter got a serious fever. She didnt know what was going on, so she tried to call an ambulance(救护车). However, when she called the hospital, she couldnt talk. The operator(接线员) couldnt understand what Anita was saying. Thankfully, her sister arrived and called the ambulance. The doctor told Anita that if she hadnt arrived at the hospital in time, her daughter would have died. Immigrants should learn English to speak with the public, but they should also keep their language at home. If we learn English only and forget our own language, we wont be able to communicate with our parents. Florence, my co-worker, speaks English only. Her mother didnt teach her Spanish, her mother language. She has lost her mother language, tradition and culture, so she cant pass them down to her future generations. In conclusion, immigrants should learn English in order to communicate with the public and to keep the country united, but they shouldnt drop their culture for an American way of life.66. When Anitas daughter was ill, Anita_.A. couldnt speakB. tried to call an ambulanceC. called her sister for help at onceD. sent her to the hospital immediately67. The author mentions Anitas experience mainly to show us _.A. English is a difficult language for immigrants to learnB. immigrants should help each other in a strange country C. it is necessary for immigrants to learn the common languageD. immigrants should keep their own language and culture68. Florence is a woman who _.A. can speak both English and SpanishB. was born in Spain but grew up in the USC. has given up her native cultureD. is one of the authors classmates69 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage? A. B. C. D.70. Whats the authors attitude towards immigrants?A. immigrants should learn English wellB. immigrants should speak their own languageC. immigrants have to drop their own culture for American way of lifeD. immigrants should learn English as well as keep their own language DThe 92-year-old, thin, calm and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight oclock, even though she is nearly blind, moved to a nursing home today.Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.“Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “That doesnt matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged. Its how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. Its a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open Ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories Ive stored away.” She wen
