Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to l 1 a 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 and were eager 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.
We must realize that language is important and v 10 for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their background by teaching them the parents’ language.
1. learn
2. same

9. others
10. valuable

答案： 1. learn 2. same 3. countries 4. job 5. successful 6. parents 7. taught 8. however 9. others 10. valuable

六、阅读理解
As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily, the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches(拱形门)of the fast food restaurant, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example：You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed(沮丧的)person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning；as a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling… blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A Switch! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the Switch and said, “Sounds great!”
