The Home of My People
When Lewis and Clark stepped onto the Weippe Prairie in present-day Idaho in September 1805, they met the Nez Perce Indians. In the following years, the white explorers (探险者) began to fight with the Indians for their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U.S. government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those agreements and demanded more land.
Other chiefs refused to go along with the government's plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley (present-day Oregon) .
“In order to have all people understand how much land we owned, ” he once explained, “my father planted poles around it and said: ‘Inside is the home of my people…It circled around the graves(坟墓) of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. ’”
But in 1874, the U.S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a reservation (保留地) . Seeing that resistance was useless, Chief Joseph agreed to move.
Later, fighting broke out between the Nez Perce and U.S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give in.
1．Which historic site (on the map) lies in the south of today's Nez Perce Reservation?
[ ]

The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.
During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the colonial and Revolutionary War Periods flags representing famous persons, places and events were flown in the American Colonies.
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777, It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.
By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William. H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the starts had been left to the flagmaker's desire. The evolution of the stars and stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation. There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag. Among them are the presidents and vice-presidents flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy used special flags for signaling.
(1) Why were only the flags of various European nations flown over the land during the discovery and settlement period?
[ ]
A．Because the flags were older than the national flag of the U.S.
B．Because the land was divided by these nations.
C．Because there was universal flag over the land．
D．We don't know from the passage.
(2)The first national flags of the United States ________.
[ ]
A．represented the 13 colonies which won independence in 1776
B．were flown in American colonies in 1776
C．were flown in American colonies in 1795
D．gave representation to Congress
(3)Where the stars were placed on the national flag in 1818 was decided by _______.
[ ]
(4)How many stars entered the Union between 1818and 1912?
[ ]
(5)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
[ ]
A．Before 1959 the flag had been changed 25 times.
B．Each federal department has its own official flag.
C．The national flag of the U.S. had 26 stars on it after admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959
D．By 1912, there had been 48 states in the Union.
