　　When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me. I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but when I looked up she had gore. I was unable to even verbally thank her.

　　The United States has always been a country of many cultures. Before Europeans came to North America, many groups of Native Americans lived here. Different Native American groups had different cultures. The first Europeans in the United States were from England and Holland, but immigrants came from all European countries. Many people also immigrated from Asia and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.

　　In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot.” People thought that all immigrates should forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate - join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. However, their children often forgot their parents’ or grandparents’ language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.

　　For all of these reasons, melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.” They say salad bowl because in a salad, you can still see all of the individual parts (lettuce, tomato, and so on), but all the different parts mixed together and begin to take on the flavor of one another.

　　8. Which of the following is the key information the writer wants to tell us in the first paragraph?

　　A. There used to be many groups of Native Americans.

　　B. Englishmen were among the first to settle in America.

　　C. Asians and Africans also immigrated to America.

　　D. USA today is made up of people from across the world.

　　9. The “melting pot” ___________.

　　A. is an accurate way to describe the United States

　　B. is a place where people from different cultures should assimilate completely

　　C. cannot accurately reflect the reality in the United States

　　D. cannot be replaced by the “salad bowl”

　　10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Many immigrates to the United States try to keep some of their culture.

　　B. Immigrates are encouraged to use English wherever they go in the USA.

　　C. Children of early immigrates can speak English as well as their parents’ native language.

　　D. New immigrants want to live in their own culture and language.

　　11. The “salad bowl” reflects the fact that immigrates to the United States ____________.

　　A. help each other

　　B. assimilate only partially

　　C. take great pride in their culture and language

　　D. remain independent

　　With 10, 600 bicycles in circulation，Paris city officials are hoping the program will provide people with more environmentally friendly transportation．

　　It seems both Parisians and tourists are taking advantage of the program．Since its launch a little over two weeks ago，Vélib has already seen almost half a million rentals．And，with the addition of 10，000 more bikes and 700 more stations in the next 12 months，city officials expect at least 200，000 regular users by year end．

　　Parisian Olivier Bioret has already gone for a spin on one of Vélib’s vehicles and plans to make use of them more often．

　　“It’s a real pleasure—when，like me，you don’t have space enough in your flat to have your

　　own bike—to be able to discover．to cross Paris and not have to take the subway，”he said．

　　As a socialist and longtime green activist，Mayor Bertrand Delanoe regards Vélib as just a part of his plan to reduce car traffic and，thus，lower pollution by 2020．

　　month，are using bicycles as a way to cut back on both traffic and pollution．

　　passing fashion or whether this movement has the power to take root and transform the face of public transportation around the world．

　　56．The real purpose of Vélib is________．

　　A．to help people save money and space
