Growing up in the Chinese community in Vancouver, Canada, I had full time to experience both Canadian and Chinese culture during my childhood.

In my community, many traditions and cultural traits brought by Chinese immigrants（移民）remain alive. For example, interactions (互动) between Chinese neighbors: People greet each other warmly and sometimes stop for a chat. Families also stay mostly the same after crossing the ocean. Elderly members still live with their children instead of in care homes.

Another similarity is that many of us celebrate traditional Chinese holidays, such as Spring festival. Although it's in a different country, the holidays are still commemorated with the same foods, entertainment ( 娱乐活动 ) and values as they are in China. My family makes sure to watch the Spring Festival Gala each year, for example.

While many ways of Chinese culture truly remain in Vancouver, there are also certain ways that the Chinese and Canadian cultures have mixed to create something new and special. Many children of Chinese immigrants, like myself, study in English at school and speak Chinese at home, leading to communication without any trouble in both languages. Chinese communities also celebrate Canadian holidays, like Halloween, which are not often celebrated in China.

Canadian culture has even taken on some Chinese foods and language. Chinese dishes are very popular throughout Canada, many people are very interested in trying them. More and more non-Chinese Canadians are learning the language in order to enjoy Chinese holiday celebrations and communicate with their Chinese of the same age.

As someone who grew up Chinese Canadian, I'm very proud of my special background and how it has made me the person I am today.

A.They seem too busy to stop for a chat.

B.Elderly people prefer to stay in care homes.

C.They also remain many Chinese traditions and values.

D.Their lifestyles remain unchanged after moving to Canada.

2.What does the underlined word commemorated probably mean?

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A.Canadians are open to Chinese culture.

B.Many Canadians can't get well with Chinese immigrants.
