Question

15．Most people who travel from China to the US find that，even though they have studied English for years，they have to"re-learn"it upon arriving．
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here．To truly be part of the"melting pot（大熔爐）"，speaking English fluently（流利地）is not enough．You need an accent to stand out．
When I first came to the US for graduate school，I was a nervous foreigner．I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was"different"．To talk like an American became one of my most important tasks．So I tried to copy the way native speakers talk and，over time，I made good progress．
Soon my American friends started to praise my English as having"almost no accent"．At a conference in Washington DC，someone even said："You speak with a Midwestern accent．"
I took this as a sign of my success．People usually thought I was from California．"Why California？"I would ask．They would reply："Well，you certainly don't look American，but you don't talk like a Chinese person，so you are most likely from California．Most Asian Americans are from there．"
Suddenly，conformity（一致） was no longer a compliment．（贊美） If I talk like an American，am I still Chinese？If I lose my Chinese accent，do I also lose my cultural identity（身份）？
Now I realize that a person's accent is a lasting record of their past cultural experience．An accent is often taken to mean that you haven't learned about a culture，when，in fact，it is a mark of one's experience of different cultures．
As a fourth-year student in the US，I am no longer a nervous foreigner．My nervousness has been replaced by strongly wanting to hold on to my cultural origins（出身）．Now I always speak with a bit of a Chinese"accent"．I do not wish to speak"perfect"English because I am proud of who I am．
66．Why does the author think people have to"re-learn"English upon arriving？（No more than 15words）
She thinks they need to learn an American accent．
67．How did the author feel when others praised her English？（ No more than 5words）
She was proud of herself．/She felt she was successful．
68．What is the author's most important job when she first came to the US？（ No more than 10words）
To talk like an American was her most important job．
69．Why did the author decide to speak with a bit of a Chinese"accent"？（ No more than 10words）
She wanted to keep some of her Chinese identity．
70．What is the article mainly about？（ No more than 15words）
The author's changing attitude toward her Chinese accent．．
