A

(导学号58980000)

The first big wave of Chinese immigration to America came when gold was discovered in California in 1848.The Chinese called the new land “Mountain of Gold”.Those who did not become miners found work in railroad construction,farming

3 and light industries,doing low-paid jobs.By the 1880s,American industrialization brought changing economic realities,resulting in an explosion of resentment(仇恨) toward the Chinese laborers.They were accused of taking jobs away from the white men.The government issued Exclusion Acts (《排外法案》) to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States.Many workers fled from the concentrated Chinese communities in the West and then went to the Mid-west and the East.As in California,they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as “Chinatowns”.

New York’s Chinatown was created by men such as the Chinese

laborers.Sociologists call them “sojourners”—foreigners in the United

States,keeping to their cultural traditions,living in the larger society in which they existed.The sojourners came to America for the promise of supporting their families in China,where they expected to return one day.Those who did stay lived separately from the society.So they remained in Chinatown,an enclosed community

holding on to traditions among the tides of change.

This Way to Dreamland

Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of wha t’s happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.

1 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.

But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 2 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?

So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?

First,understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and rela xed will help you to slip into daydreams. 3 And if you want to im prove your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.

It’s also important to know how to a void daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.“Mindfulness”,being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 4

Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 5

Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.

B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.

C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn’t have relativity,Coke or Post-it notes.

D.At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.

F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.

G.Therefore,it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydrea

m zone.
