Between 1886 and 1914, Canada received over two million immigrants. The majority of them were from Eastern Europe. The government welcomed these people by offering them free farmland in the West. However, Canada immigration policy was not equal for Asian immigrants. The Canadian government passed two laws to prevent Chinese immigration. In 1885, the Canadian government passed the first law to prevent Chinese immigration. The law forced every Chinese person entering Canada to pay a $50 entry fee. The government introduced this head tax to satisfy Caucasian(高加索人) laborers whofelt that Chinese immigrants were competing for their jobs. The head tax was a burden for Chinese immigrants, but it did not prevent them from coming to Canada. For many of these poor Chinese laborers, they could earn more money there than in China. They were willing to borrow the money to pay for the overseas trip and the head tax. The Canadian government raised the head tax to $100 in 1900, then to $500 in 1903. The Canadian government passed its most restrictive immigration law in 1923. That year, the Chinese Immigration Act prevented all Chinese except officers, merchants, and students fromAsian entering Canada. The Act was the result of pressure from anti-groups.

Advertising can be tho ught of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”. Advertising aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.(1). Advertising is often used to ( )A. convince customersB.promote productionC.rise interestD.push the sales(2).

What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us isthat ( ).A. businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have toB.businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profits C.advertising couldn’t convince people of the value of the goods advertising usually costsD.businessmen large amounts of money2. Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere,from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time. For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also withthe hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible The word “ friend ” can be applied to a wide range ofrelationships — to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant ( 知已 ).(1).
