Part II Reading Comprehension
Passage1
In spite of “endless talk of difference”, American society is an amazing machine for
homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and
the casualness and absence of deference” characteristic of popular culture. People are
absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th-century department stores
that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops
catering to a knowledgeable elite,” these were stores “anyone could enter, regardless of
店
class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.” The mass
media,advertisingandsportsareotherforcesforhomogenization.
营
Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether
elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for专the National Immigration Forum, Gregory
Rodriguez reports that today’s immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant
育
to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent.
In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10
教
years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now, consider three indicates of assimilation－
诚
language,homeownershipandintermarriage.
The1990Censusrevealedthat“amajorityofimmigrantsfromeachofthefifteenmost
书
common countries of origin spoke English ‘well’ or ‘very well’ after ten years of
residence.” The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By
the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.”
Hence the description of America is a “grave yard” for languages. By 1996 foreign-born
immigrants whohadarrived before1970hadahome ownershiprate of75.6percent,higher
thanthe69.8percentrateamongnative-bornAmericans.
Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics “have higher rates of intermarriage than do
U.S.-born whites and blacks.” By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are
married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to
non-Asians.

Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of
superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans fear that
immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s
assimilativepower.”
Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big
enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America's
turbulent past, today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social
environment.

While still catching-up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be
way ahead in at least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to
营
developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,”
according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist专at New York’s Veteran’s Administration
Hospital.
育
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect
the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals
教
thandomalesunderthesameconditions.Inseveralofthestudies,whenstressed-outfemale
rats had their ovaries (th诚e female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses
becameequaltothoseofthemales.
书
Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased
“opportunities” for stress. “It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well. It’s just that
they have so much more to cope with,” says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating
stress may even be greater than men’s,” she observes, “it’s just that they’re dealing with so
manymorethingsthattheybecomewornoutfromitmorevisiblyandsooner.”
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of
things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature. Men
go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random
physicalviolence.Thekindsofinterpersonalviolencethatwomen areexposedtotendtobe

not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can
bequitedevastating.”
Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish

voluntarily began cutting down their nightly s专leep time because of pressures from school,

In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful,

psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the
hopethatthetroublewouldgoaway.
The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep

The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that

The age of gilded youth is over. Today’s under-thirties are the first generation for a

Of the known man-eating sharks, the white shark is the most ferocious and dangerous

known to man. Often called by Australians the white pointer, this shark is also known
throughouttherestoftheworldunderavarietyofnameswhichincludethewhite death,the
营
great white shark, the grey shark, the grey death and the grey pointer. Without a doubt this
is the most terrible monster the seas have pr专oduced in recent times. The white shark is
foundin every oceanand seaof theworld. It is most prolific in coolerwaters, although still
育
commonandoftenencounteredintropicalandsemi-tropicalregions.
Since men first took to the sea in ships, the white shark has been known and feared,
教
instilling terror into the most hardy of sailors. Perhaps the “ghostly” white appearance of
this huge shark has ear诚ned its evil reputation, for there is something unreal and sinister
about the great beast. The white shark has been known to follow sailing vessels for days,

even weeks, gliding silently nearthe keelorcloseto the stern, watchingandwaiting. Itwas
recorded in the old sailing days that the hungry monster has reached out of the ocean to
snatchahelplessseamanfromthesideofhisbecalmedship.
On the few occasions when I have encountered this terrible animal underwater, I have
always been impressed by its unnatural appearance. It has huge, unblinking black eyes and
is easily identified by its mackerel-shaped tail. It has been said that if a diver comes face to
face with a white shark this is the last thing he will ever see. But like the lion, the Lord of
the Jungle, these sharks have been known to turn and flee in terror at the sight of a man
underwater. It is enough to know that this huge beast attacks without provocation and
without warning and that it has devoured many of the hapless victims of disasters at sea. It
