Do you know what it means to call this country a melting pot?This great land has been attracting people from all over the world since its independence from British rule in 1783 at the end of the Revolutionary War.They came to this country leaving behind their homeland in order to make a better life for themselves.The Co nstitution of the United States starts with the words “We the people...”．This is what the country is all about.“We the people”are from Asia, Europe, South America, from every corner of the world.People have come and are still coming to this great country to become an American.This privilege of becoming a citizen should not be taken lightly.Becoming a citizen gives you the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness，this being our Declaration of Independence.The pride of becoming a legal citizen and enjoying the freedoms that come with it is a dream for all the immigrants that come here.The results of the melting pot are American citizens who become part of the history of this nation，who become the defenders offreedom and who bring their own individual talents and culture to melt into this great society.We are Asian Americans，Euro Americans, Mid Eastern Americans，or Afro Americans.We are all Americans under the red，white and blue flag.[词海拾贝]1．constitution n．宪法2．liberty n．自由3．pursuit n．追求4．immigrant n．移民[问题思考]1．Why did people come to USA leaving behind their homeland?_______________________________________________________ 2．Where do the immigrants of the US，come from?_______________________________________________________ 答案：1.Because they wanted to make a better life for themselves.2．They are from Asia，Europe，South America，from every corner of the world.Ⅰ.为单词选择正确的释义1．Arctic A．插入；嵌入2．ministry B．权威；权力3．federal C．申请人4．aircraft D．移民；移民入境5．immigration E．售票员；列车员；指挥6．nephew F．联邦制的；同盟的7．applicant G．关切的；体贴的；深思的8．conductor H．处罚；惩罚9．punishment I．侄子；外甥10．authority J．飞行器；航空器；飞机11．thoughtful K．北极的；北极区的12．insert L．(政府的)部；神职；牧师的职位答案：1－K2－L3－F4－J5－D6－I7－C8－E9－H10－B11－G12－AⅡ.根据所给汉语提示写出单词1．________ n．海峡2．________ n．方法；手段3．________ n．横渡；横越；十字路口；人行横道4．________ n. & adj.代理；副职5．________ n．海关；关税；进口税6．________ v i.发生；出现7．________ v t.& v i.刮；剃8．________ n．闸；刹车；制动器9．________ n．角；角度10．________ n．正义；公平11．________ adj. 公民的；国内的；民间的答案：1.strait 2.means 3.crossing 4.vice 5.customs 6．occur7.shave8.brake9.angle10.justice11.civil Ⅲ.根据英语释义写出单词1．________：clearly different or of a different kind2．________：the largest part of a group of people or things3．________：a situation that is difficult and unpleasantbecause you do not have enough money，food，clothes，etc.4．________：to choose somebody to do a particular job by voting for them5．________：the number，amount，rate of something，expressed as if it is part of a total which is 1006．________：happening or existing between people of different races7．________：a sudden increase in trade and economic activity；a period of wealth and success8．________：suggest the possibility of sth9．________：clearly seen;

My first job was to drive the oxen（牛）that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have. When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.46. The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. difficultB. boringC. interestingD. unusual47. The writer learned that_______ from his first job.A. he should work for those who he liked mostB. he should work longer than what he was expectedC. he should never fail to say hello to his ownerD. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for48 _______ gave the writer self-esteem.A. Having a family of eight peopleB. Owning his own golf courseC. Bringing money back home to help the familyD. Helping his father with the work on the plantation49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. He wanted to be a successful golfer.B. He wanted to run a golf course near his house.C. He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.B篇Mexico City is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.The "Paseo de la Reforma (改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs （纪念品）to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.50. The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.A. the high speed of the trafficB. the heavy traffic of the cityC. the polluted air in the cityD. their safety in the city51. Which of the following shows the correct positions of the following places?P = Paseo de la Reforma M = the National Museum of AnthropologyC = the Chapultepec Castle Z = the Mexico City Zoo52. Which of the following attractions may interest those who want to study the military (of the army) history of Mexico City?A. The National Museum of Anthropology.B. The Coyoacan market.C. The Chapultepec Castle.D. The Aztec sites.AAA6-10.DCBBA11-15.DDBDA16-20.ABACC21-25.BCBBD26～45 ACDDB BCAAC DBBDB ABBDC 46-52 BDCA BDC。
