  Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native languages, so immigrants(移民)are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic(民族的)identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.

  For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the States. The eighteen-year-old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too. She has no problems talking with her parents, but she still doesn't under stand Korean jokes, and there are sometimes misunderstandings. The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't want to speak Korean. My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other. Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about. I felt sympathy(同情)for my aunt whenever my fourteen-year-old cousin said,“Mom, what is your problem?”The third child is a twelve-year-old son.

  He speaks English to his parents and my aunt speaks Korean to him as she does to the second daughter.

  He also has a problem communicating with his parents. My aunt is trying to teach him to speak both languages very well, but it is very hard for him because he speaks English all day and does not understand why he should learn to speak Korean.

  I think most immigrants are trying to preserve(保持)their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents' country, they will probably feel different from other people there too. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.

  We must realize that languages is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritages(文化遗产) by teaching them the parents' native language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.

1.This passage is mainly about _____.

[  ]

A.how to learn a second language

B.how to become American citizens

C.language and its effect on the identity of immigrants

D.schools attended by immigrants to the US

2.Which of these statements is NOT true according to the first paragraph?

[  ]

A.Second generation immigrants are usually eager to learn their parents' native language.

B.It is often hard for first and second generation family members to communicate with each other.

C.Foreigners in America want their children to speak English so that they can achieve great success.

D.Sometimes second generation immigrant children ignore their parents because of language differences.

3.Which is NOT a reason that the 14-year-old daughter has problems with her mother?

[  ]

A.She doesn't want to speak Korean.

B.she doesn't love her mother.

C.She is very Americanized.

D.She does not understand her mother when she gets punished.

4.The author's aunt tries to teach her children to speak Korean to help them _____.

[  ]

A.succeed in the US

B.find a good job

C.establish a Korean identity

D.improve their Korean language skills

In 1752, three years after two Scotsmen, Alexander Wilson and Thomas Melville, fastened thermometers to kites to record the temperature of clouds, Benjamin Franklin made his famous experiment with a kite, a string, and a key.Franklin hoped to show that nature’s tremendous displays of electricity in lightning were the same thing as the feeble electric sparks scientists of the day were producing in their laboratories.He built a square kite to which he attached an iron wire.He flew the kite with a hemp string(麻线), and near the base of the string he tied a large brass key.The kite rose into a dark thundercloud, where the iron wire picked up electrical charges.Franklin noticed that the strands of the string(绳串)were beginning to stand up with electricity.As rain wet the string, it conducted more electricity.Standing in the shelter of a shed, Franklin cautiously reached out his finger to touch the brass key.A series of sparks jumped from the key to his finger.He thus proved that lightning and electricity are the same.We now know that this experiment was a dangerous one, for Franklin might have been killed by a bolt of lighting.
