Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don’t have the same native language. Also, 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. Because of this situation, their children are losing their identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.    

I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn’t help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help hem succeed in the U.S. she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation was 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. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.

We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children understand their background by teaching them the parents’ language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity. 

According to the text, what is the problem of the first generation immigrants?

A. They have lost their identity.

B. Their children are losing their identity.

C. Their children speak different languages.

D. They cannot speak their native language.

My aunt taught her children Korean____.

A. so that they knew they were of Korean origin

　　There are many things that we do in our own culture and we never ask questions about．We do things without thinking about them because we have always done them in the same way．When we are in another culture or with people from a different culture, we see that people do things in many different ways．The first difference we notice is the forms of address that are used in the culture．The language that people use to address(向…讲话)each other tells us many things about a culture．

　　There are many ways of addressing teachers and students and of introducing oneself in other cultures．In many parts of the world, students must show politeness and respect for teachers; one way of doing this is not to use the teacher’s name．Some teachers in the US don’t think it is rude if their students call them by their first names．This may be their way of having a close informal relationship with students．In the US, one way to show closeness and friendliness is to use a person’s first name．

　　When Americans greet each other, introduce each other, and have conversations, they usually stand about an arm’s distance(about eighteen inches)to two feet(twenty-four inches)apart．This is not always a comfortable distance for people from other cultures, who may prefer less or more distance．

　　Every language has rules about speaking and every culture has rules about how people should communicate with each other．These rules are not usually written down, but are learned by people living together in one culture．When you learn about other cultural ways of doing things, you start to think about what you’ve been doing in your own language and culture．

　　Now we have seen that there exists such a huge gap between eastern culture and western one．Then what should we do to face this gap in the gradually globalizing world?

　　Firstly, we cannot deny any of the cultures．Every nation has its own characteristics and it's mainly through its culture that we first begin to know the nation and its characteristics．So we cannot say that this culture or custom is right and that is wrong．Equal respect should be attached to every culture in the world, even to those that are not in existence any more．

　　Next, we should get to learn how to coordinate(协调) the different cultures． We say the world is becoming smaller and smaller．More foreigners come and go every day．If the cultural collision(冲突) exists in the same country, the same city, the same neighborhood, it is expected to be more serious．So we should try to avoid this happening．One important thing is to get some basic knowledge about the other cultures so as not to misunderstand some actions or habits of the foreigners．

　　When the above two are done, we can start to communicate．I mean we can take in some strong points from the foreign cultures．Though there doesn't exist correctness in terms of culture, it does have the terms of more advanced or more suitable for the world nowadays．Of course, we cannot throw away our own culture and accept another one totally．Every culture is a treasure to the history of the earth, so we should only pick out those we lack to perfect our own．

　　Different cultures add the most colorful element to the world of 21st century．The cultural gap should not be the obstacle(障碍) to the civilization of human being．It ought to be the motivation(动力)of our going farther．

(1)

[　　]

(3)

It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

[　　]

A．

cultural collision is something unavoidable

B．

we can't say which culture is more suitable for the world today

C．

while we can learn from another culture, ours is unchangeable
