Many immigrants to the United States find the decision to seek better lives for their families in America can have an unexpected and tragic consequence. Deep differences with their children develop over language and culture. “Many immigrants arrive here without much education. Their kids soon gain language skills and also street marts on how to live in America, leaving the parents at a disadvantage, Ileana , Roses, pastor of a Methodist church group operating in Virginia, said. “Not only that but they find they cannot relate to children who quickly absorb American culture, she said. According to the US Census Bureau, the number of foreign born or first generation Americans reached 55 million last year, a record one in five of the total population. A government survey of 922 immigrants in 2000 found that nearly 40 percent of those who had been in the United States for more than 15 years would still like to take English classes if they had the time. Two thirds of low income households depended on their children for translation. Psychologists and sociologists say parents can lose their position of authority in a family as a result and the effects of that can be far-reaching. Children exposed to American pop culture that praises youth and sexuality often rebel when their parents try to impose the conservative values they brought with them. “Americanization erodes all important aspects of parenting, said Richard Weissbourd, who teaches education at Harvard University. “I feel a part of me is dying with my children. They don’t listen to my music. I have to play it on Sunday morning when they are not around, said an immigrant. 68.What troubles the immigrant parents most is . A. that they can’t understand the English language B. that they lose their position of authority in their families C. that their children have lost sense of their own national values D. how they can master the English language as soon as possible 69. From the passage we can infer that the population of the states at present is about . A. 275 million B. 220 million C. 255 million D. smaller than 250 million 70. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. All the immigrants had expected the troubles they would meet before they went to the US. B. Two thirds of immigrant families are low income households. C. American culture shows a spirit against conservative social and cultural values. D. American pop culture puts the immigrant families at a disadvantage. 71. Which of the following is probably the title of the report? A. The Result of the US Census B. The Differences Between Parents and Children in the US C. The Troubles of the American Immigrants D. Role Reversal Troubles Many Parents and Children E.
