The United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants（移民） came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States to serve the Americans. The life there was hard for them. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.

In the 19th century, people thought of the United States as a “melting pot”. People thought that all immigrants should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate cultures. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here for a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their cultures and languages.

For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl”. They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts （lettuce, tomato, and so on）, but all the different parts are mixed together and begin to take on the taste of one another.

1.The first paragraph mainly talks about_____________ .

A.how many immigrants the United States has

B.where the immigrants live in the United States

C.what culture and language the immigrants keep

D.why the United States is a country of many cultures

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Before Europeans came to North America, nobody lived there.

B.People spoke of the United States as a “melting pot” in the 19th century.

C.All the Africans were brought to the United States to serve the Americans.

D.The immigrants in the United States are only from England, Holland and Africa.

3.The underlined word “assimilate” in the second paragraph means “　　　　 ”.

A.make something similar B.make something special

C.make something different D.make something interesting

4.Why do people call the United States a “salad bowl” now?

A.Because Americans can make all the cultures into one culture.

B.Because Americans all want to eat salad to be healthy very much.

C.Because Americans want their country to be as “green” as “salad”.

D.Because Americans can make different cultures go together in one country.

After coming to America, the use of “yes” and “no” brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English. For　 example, if I am asked, “Haven’t you had dinner yet?” and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say “Yes, I haven’t.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I haven’t.”

Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few days later, I found some roommates thought that I came from North Korea. One day I stopped by Bob’s room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. “Oh, you told me that. Don’t you remember?” he said, “When I asked you ‘You are not from North Korea,are you’you clearly answered, ‘Yes, of course.’ Didn’t it mean that you are from North Korea?”

The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). They make some noise while playing. I didn’t mind the noise since I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, “Didn’t my children make noise last night? Didn’t it make you uncomfortable?” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said “Yes!” The smile suddenly disappear from Mark’s face, and he said, “I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.” I could not understand what he was sorry about, and I just said, “OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude.

Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of “yes” or “no”, Second, use “pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way.

1.From the passage, we can infer (推断) that the writer comes from ______.

A. North Korea　　 B. America　　 C. South Korea　　 D. China

2.In Paragraph 3, when the writer answered “Yes”，Mark might think the writer was _______.

A. rude　　 B. kind　　 C. helpful　　 D. polite

3.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) _______.

A. “yes”　　 B. the noise　　 C. watching TV　　 D. the smile

4.If the writer is not sure of “yes” or “no” next time, he will say______.

A. “ pardon me”　　 B. “yes”　　 C. “no”　　 D. “I don’t know”

5.The writer writes the passage mainly to remind us_______.

A. to work hard on English　　 B. to learn to respect others

C. never to use “yes” or “no”　　 D. to know culture differences
