When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结)．To show this, she pick up one chopstick, taking it as one person．Then she easily broke it into two pieces．Next, she tied several chopsticks together, taking them as a family．She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks．This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California．However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money．They moved their family to San Francisco．There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop．Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant．The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young．However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business．They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles．Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful．Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace．Without the strength of the family, there is no business．”

When I was young, I lived in a place where had a lot of trees, many rivers, and was near a big lake. We had a large house with a garden and lots of grasses. My brothers and sisters and I played outside whenever we could in my own yard, in our neighbors’ yards, and in the empty yards down the street. We ride bikes and played ballgames with friends. But I always thought that there was something missing in my environment, as wonderfully as it was. I liked going to the big lake the most. Even there, though, I felt I needed anything more. The lake was big, and you could still see land on the other side.
One day, my family took trip to New York City. As we drove on the freeway, I looked out the window at the ocean. For as far as I could see, there was no land on the other side. I rolled down the window and heard from the sounds of the sea birds. They seemed to call me, tell me I would never be able to live away from the sea again.

To most people, noise pollution is a jet flying over their head. For one Spanish woman, it is a neighbor playing the piano. The woman has taken her neighbor to court. Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.
In a country known for its noisiness, the case has raised eyebrows. Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain, but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of. At the trial, Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin, who lives below her. Martin, 27, didn’t admit that she played at home that often, saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.
On the first day of the trial, the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn’t even stand seeing them in a film.
Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”. Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems, including insomnia (失眠), anxiety, and panic attacks.
She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels (分贝) higher than the limit. City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room. The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.
The court hasn’t made a final decision. A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.
1.Bosom wants to send Martin to prison because _______.
A. Martin’s playing the piano damaged her health
B. Bosom suffered from heart attack
C. Martin refused to take regular classes in other towns
D. Martin flew a jet over her head
2.How did Laia Martin respond to the complaints?
A. She stopped playing the piano.
B. She soundproofed the room.

3.Which of the following may probably be the best title for the passage?
