To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.” They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too.

Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.

Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.

By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.

Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.

The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners.

Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.

Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?

A. Because they could find good jobs there.

B. Because they had found gold there.

C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.

D. Because they heard there was gold there.

The underlined word “resented” mean “________”.

A. liked          B. helped        C. hated         D. served

of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Some Chinese became drivers.

B. Many Chinese opened shops to help wash clothes.

C. Many Chinese picked gold around the old mines.

D. Many Chinese returned to China by the end of the 1850s.

A. Early Chinese immigrants in America

B. Dream to strike it rich

C. The difference between men and women

D. Gold miners in America



Clyde, a small-clawed otter, was moved from Auckland Zoo to Wellington Zoo two months ago. The zookeepers hoped he and the other otter Bonnie might start a family together.
But only two days after he arrived, Clyde went missing. He had dug his way under one of the walls and was nowhere to be seen.
The zookeepers set up cages inside the zoo, with plates of Clyde’s favorite fish in them, hoping to catch him.
Two days went by and still there was no sign of Clyde.
At last a couple saw Clyde at their house --- a whole kilometer away in Newtown. Clyde was hiding in an out-of-reach hole outside their laundry.
The zookeepers arrived and set up some more traps to try to catch him. But Clyde is a pretty smart otter. Twice he managed to get the fish out of a trap without being caught.
Five days after he’d escaped, Clyde’s days on the run came to an end when he was finally caught in one of the traps.
It was no good putting Clyde back in his old home---he’d only dig his way out again. So he and Bonnie were put into the zoo hospital. There was no chance of their escaping from there.
Meanwhile, the zookeepers were working hard to make Clyde’s old home safer. They put an iron barrier underground to stop him digging their way out. Then Bonnie and Clyde went home again.
But a month after his first escape, Clyde was out again. Once more the zookeepers came
hurrying to catch Clyde. They found him by following the bubbles he made in the river nearby.
Nobody knew how Clyde had escaped. But this time he was only out for an hour. So---back he went to the hospital again.
Poor Clyde. It seemed that he wasn’t happy at Wellington Zoo, even though he and Bonnie were getting on well together. The keepers didn’t like seeing him unhappy, so they planned to look for a home for him somewhere else. 
【小题1】Where was Clyde found after his first escape?

A.Back in Auckland Zoo.B.In a river nearby.
C.At a house a kilometer away.D.In the zoo hospital.
【小题2】How did zookeepers catch Clyde after his second escape?
A.They set up cages in the zoo.
B.They attracted Clyde with fish.
C.They dug a hole outside his home.
D.They followed the bubbles in the water.
【小题3】What do we know about Clyde?
A.He often gets ill.
B.He is good at digging.
C.He likes hiding in a hole.
D.He escaped to meet Bonnie.
【小题4】Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?
A.A news report.B.An advertisement.
C.A book review.D.A research paper.

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(评论员),but just an English teacher in Japan.

I came to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s better to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.

I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time.

Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.

The schools are reluctant to take time off-even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

60、From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in       .

A、Tokyo       B、a small town     C、a city of middle size     D、a big city

61、According to the writer, one had better     first to do private teaching better.

A、take a TEFL course     B、decide his or her own lessons

C、find students          D、build up a full schedule

62、The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies (暗示)that     .

A、there are many foreigners in Japan    

B、Japan is good for nightlife

C、they can teach English privately in Japan

D、Japan has something more attractive than expected

63、The underlined word “reluctant” in the passage may probably means     .

A、kind     B、unwilling     C、free     D、careless
