An Uncertain Future
（20.0分）14.0 分
第一组数据
1、
Chinese Americans are considered different from their fellow Americans because of the convenient but dishonest stereotypes in the mass market.
2、
Most Chinese Americans came to the United States escaping war and famine, persecution and poverty.
3、
Many celebrities of Chinese descendants in America have had the experience of being questioned about their identities.
4、
The U.S. Air Force captain’s story gives the evidence that most Chinese Americans are loyal to their country.
5、
Connie Chung’s days at CBS prove that racial discrimination is a consistent phenomenon in America.
6、
Hard-working Chinese Americans have made great contribution to the development of the United States.
7、
One can hardly see any Chinese American doctors on American medical TV dramas.
8、
Chinese Americans have a long way to go before they are considered real Americans.
9、
The U.S. authorities have exploited racial differences to their advantage and Chinese Americans fall victims to this man-made divisiveness.
10、
Chinese Americans in government and politics are subject to stereotyping and racism as well.
第二组数据
A、
From the moment the Chinese set foot on American soil, their dreams have been American dreams. They scrambled for gold in the dirt of California. They aspired to own their own land and businesses, and fought to have their children educated in American schools alongside other American children. Like most immigrant groups, they came here fleeing war and famine, persecution and poverty. And like the descendants of other immigrant groups, their children have come to call the United States home.
B、
The America of today would not be the same America without the achievements of its ethnic Chinese. Generation after generation, they worked to build American nation to its present level of greatness. Some fought in the Civil War and built the railroad that welded the country together. Their early struggles for Justice created new foundations of law later used by the civil rights movement. They built America's earliest rockets and helped win the cold war. In Silicon Valley and elsewhere, their contributions helped establish and maintain U. S. supremacy in the information age. Today, they are dispersed in every profession imaginable: as inventors, teachers, authors, doctors, engineers, lawyers, CEOS, social workers, accountants, architects, police chiefs, firefighters, actors, and astronauts.
C、
But sadly, despite this long legacy of contribution, many Chinese Americans continue to be regarded as foreigners. "Go back where you came from "is a taunt most new immigrants have faced at some point. As one put it, "Asian Americans feel like we're a guest in some one else’s house, that we can never really relax and put our feet up on the table.” Accents and cultural traditions may disappear, but skin color and the shape of one’s eyes do not. These features have eased the way for some to regard ethnic Chinese people as exotic and different –certainly not “real” Americans. Thus the Americanization of Chinese Americans has been overshadowed by the convenient but dishonest stereotypes in the mass market, which portray them as innately and irreversibly different from their fellow Americans.
D、
What, in human terms, is the impact of such divisiveness? It's what a native-born Californian, a West Covina city council member, being told over the phone, "Funny, you don’t sound like a Wong. You sound so American. It's the virtual absence of Chinese American doctors on medical TV dramas when in actuality one in every six medical doctors in the United States is Asian American.
E、
In June 1999, Ted Lieu, a United States Air Force captain who grew up in Ohio and attended college in California, wrote the following for the Washington Post:
F、
“Are you in the Chinese Air Force?” the elegantly dressed lady sitting next to me asked. For a moment I was left speechless. We were at an awards dinner and I was proud wearing my blue United States Air Force uniform, complete with captain's bars, military insignia, and medals. Her question jarred me and made me realize that even Air Force blue was not enough to reverse her initial presumption that people with yellow skin and Asian features are somehow not Americans, I wish this was just an isolated incident. Unfortunately, too many people today still view Asian Americans as foreigners in American… As an officer in the United States Air Force, one day I may be called to give my life to my country, It would be a shame if some still question what I mean when I say “my country.”
G、
Scratch the surface of every American celebrity of Chinese heritage and you will find that, no matter how stellar their achievements, no matter how great their contribution to U.S. society, virtually all of them have had their identities questioned at one point or another.
H、
Connie Chung, the second woman in American history to co-anchor a network nightly news broadcast, survived an unwelcoming newsroom atmosphere. Being one of the few women was bad enough, but as she adds, "In those early days at CBS, ’71 to ’76, people were saying ‘Yellow Journalism’--- little remarks that were clearly racist.” But as late as 1990, Cliff Kincaid, a radio host in Washington, D. C. would call her “Connie Chink.”
I、
Maya Lin, now the most famous female architect in the United States, was viciously attacked when, as a Yale undergraduate in 1980, she won a nationwide contest to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D. C. “How can you let a gook design this?” some veterans asked. "How did it happen that an Asian-American woman was permitted to make a memorial for American men who died fighting in Asia?"
J、
At the 1998 Olympics, when U.S. figure skater Michelle Kwan finished second after her teammate Tara Lipinski, the headlines on MSNBC read, "American beats Kwan.” Many Chinese Americans were distressed that the media automatically considered Kwan a foreigner when in fact she had been born, reared, and trained in the United States. Four years later, this error was repeated after Kwan lost the gold medal to Sarah Hughes. In a secondary headline, the Seattle Times announced, "American outshines Kwan, Slutskaya in skating surprise.”
K、
In 1998, when Matt Fong, a California state treasurer, ran for the U. S. Senate., reporters asked him which country he would support if China and the United States went to war. Fong was a fourth-generation American and the son of March Fong Eu, the first Asian American woman to serve as a California secretary of state. He lost the race and later told Time magazine, “There is a subtle stereotyping and racism below the surface.” In May 2001, David Wu, the first Chinese American ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, was stopped when he tried to enter the Department of Energy in Washington, D. C. "Most strikingly I was asked a couple of times whether I am a U.S. citizen or not," Wu later said. "This was both after I showed my congressional ID and after Ted Liu (Wu’s congressional aide) showed him his staff ID.” In the same year, Elaine Chao, a Harvard Business School graduate who had served as chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission and assistant secretary of transportation, made history as the first Chinese American to accept a Cabinet position when President George W. Bush named her secretary of labor. When her critics attacked her business ties with China, her husband, Senator Mitch McConnell saw “subtle racism,” “yellow fever,” and xenophobic attitudes in the media
L、
Time and again, the question is posed within the Chinese American community: How many hoops do we have to jump through to be considered "real” Americans.
M、
These episodes (事件) of racism do not occur by accident, in a vacuum. Nor do they arise solely on the basis of physical differences. Throughout American history, and indeed the history of most societies, the ruling class has carefully exploited differences in race and ethnicity as a mechanism of control --- as a convenient smokescreen to make their own control more palatable（可接受的）. Racism has often divided and diminished （减少）American labor --- by thwarting（阻扰） the union of white and colored workers to help them win on issues that affect them all --- and has enabled the government to expand its scope of authority during emergencies, such as economic depression, or war. At such times, entire ethnic groups can be vilified（贬低；中伤） and sacrificed as scapegoats（替罪羊） to rally （团结）other people behind a leader’s solution. Such was the fate of the Chinese in America on the eve of the exclusion era.

第二组数据
A、
One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone who would meet me for coffee and let me rant until the clouds lifted. I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voicemail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.
B、
Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. But my concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.
C、
After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when you’re younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship," Danzig says.
D、
At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."
E、
Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.
F、
We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we already make time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie. Michelle Mertes, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popularity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count." Mertes says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothing like her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.
G、
Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if they do, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband, she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "I get intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.
H、
Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back when she was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turn over a new leaf.
I、
A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to liking and respecting Julia, Dershowitz had a feeling that the fit and athletic younger woman would help her to get in shape.
J、
While you're busy making new friends, remember that you still need to nurture your old ones. We asked Marla Paul, author of The Friendship Crisis: Finding, Making, and Keeping Friends When You "re Not a Kid Anymore, for the best ways to maintain these important relationships. Keep in touch. Your friends should be a priority; schedule regular lunch dates or coffee catch-up sessions, no matter how busy you are. Know her business. Keep track of important events in a friend's life and show your support. Call or e-mail to let her know you're thinking of her. Speak your mind. Tell a friend (politely) if something she did really upset you. If you can't be totally honest, then you need to reexamine the relationship. Accept her flaws. No one is perfect, so work around her quirks --she's chronically late, or she's a bit negative -- to cut down on frustration and fights. Boost her ego. Heartfelt compliments make everyone feel great, so tell her how much you love her new sweater or what a great job she did on a work project.
