Language is a way to communicate with each other.We started to l 1. 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 (第一代) and the second generation because they don’t have the s 2. native language.Also, the second generation is losing their identity (身份).Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different c 3. to succeed in the States.Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a j 4. 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 s 5. .Because of this situation, their children are losing their identity, and even more, they are ignoring (忽视) their p 6. who don’t speak good English.

I think most immigrants are trying to keep their native language in their new country, but this doesn’t help very much in getting a good job.My aunt t 7. Korean to her children not to help them succeed in the US; she did so, h 8. , to help them get a Korean identity.Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from o 9. .My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans.

1.______________

The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:

2. ______________

Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.

3._______________

The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence(暴力)instead of those suitable for their age.

4. _______________

An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A wide spread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.

5._______________

The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have bad sleep habits. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
