Language is a way to communicate witheach other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, 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. A1so, 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.
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 problem talking with her parents, but she still doesn’t understand Korean jokes, and they 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.
My aunt taught Korean to her children not in order to help them succeed in the U. S.; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity(身份). 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.
We must realize that language 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 heritage(傳統(tǒng)) by teaching them the parents’ language. This is very important, not only for the harmony(和諧) of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.
1.What do you think this article is about?
A. Learning a second language.
B. Immigrants who become homesick in the U. S.
C. Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants.
D. Schools attended by immigrants to the U. S.
2.Which of the following is NOT true about the 18 year old daughter?
A. She was born in the U. S.
B. She speaks only English very well but her Korean is poor.
C. She gets along better with her parents.
D. She doesn’t understand Korean jokes well.
3.To whom does the mother speak Korean?
A. Her oldest daughter only. B. All of her children.
C. Her two daughters only. D. Only to her son.
4.Why did the author’s aunt try to teach her children to speak Korean?
A. To help them succeed in the U. S.
B. To help them find a good job.
C. To help them establish a Korean identity.
D. To help her improve her Korean language skills.

Like most people, I have grown up hearing the story Cinderella, in which a young girl lived with her cruel stepmother and suddenly had her life changed by a kind fairy and a smart prince. So when to see Rodger & Hammerstein’s Cinderella, which is now playing on Broadway, I was very excited, As soon as I sat down, I noticed the trees lining the stage ,which gave it a magical appearance. The orchestra started to play and the lights became dark as the show began.
I loved the entire performance. Everything and everyone on stage seemed like they had just jumped off the pages of the beloved story.
It turns out that the Broadway experts agree with me. The show has received nine Tony nominations(提名). Tony awards are the top prizes for Broadway shows. Laura Osnes, who plays the role of Cinderella, has been nominated for the Tony for best actress in a musical.
How similar is the show to the story of Cinderella you know? The answer, of course, depends on which version of the story you’ve seen or read. In an interview with TIME FOR Kids, Osnes pointed out that many people are familiar with the Disney movie version. There are some differences between that movie and the Broadway show. For one thing, the stepmother and the sisters are not as cruel in the show as in the movie. Also, in the Broadway version, when Cinderella escapes from the dancing party, she picks up her shoe after dropping it. So how does the prince find Cinderella again? You’ll have to see the show to find out!

Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (稱贊).
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希臘式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
She was as exciting and eccentric (怪異) in her personal life as in her dance.
1.According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?
A.Something to conquer. B.A model for movement.
C.A place to find peace. D.A symbol of disorder.
2.Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _________.
A.costly B.colorful
C.graceful D.restrictive
3.Which of the following is not mentioned as an area of dance that Duncan worked to change?
A. The stage set. B. The music.
C. Costumes. D. Movements.
4.We can infer from the passage that the author _________.
A. appreciates modern dance very much
B. dislikes Isadora Duncan’s dance
C. thinks highly of individuality
D. knows a lot about modern arts
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Artists of the Last Century
B.Evolution of Dance in the 20th Century
C.Natural Movement in Dance
D.A Pioneer in Modern Dance
