单选题
For many years it was common in the
United States to associate Chinese Americans with restaurants and laundries.
People did not realize that the Chinese had been driven into these occupations
by the prejudice and discrimination that faced them in this country.
The first Chinese to reach the United States came during the California
Gold Rush of 1849. Like most of the other people there, they had come to search
for gold. However, either because the Chinese were so different from the others
or because they worked so patiently that they sometimes succeeded in turning a
seemingly worthless mining claim into a profitable one, they became their
scapegoats of their envious competitors. Often they were prevented from making
their claims; some localities even passed regulations forbidding them to own
claims. The Chinese therefore started to seek out other ways of learning a
living. Some of them began to do the laundry for the white miners; others set up
small restaurants. In the early 1860's many more Chinese arrived
in California. This time the men were imported as work crews to construct the
first transcontinental railroad. They were needed because the work was so
dangerous, and it was carried on in such a remote part of the country that the
railroad company could not find other laborers for the job. As in the case of
their predecessors, these Chinese were almost all males and like them too, they
encountered a great deal of prejudice. When times were hard,
they were blamed for working for lower wages and taking jobs away from white
men, who were in many cases recent immigrants themselves. Anti-Chinese riots
broke out in several cities. Most of today's Chinese Americans
are the descendants of some of the early miners and railroad workers. Those
immigrants had come from the vicinity of Canton in southeast China, where they
had been uneducated farm laborers. The same kind of young men, from the same
area and from similar humble origins, migrated to Hawaii in those days. There
they fared far better, mainly because they did not encounter hostility. Some
married native Hawaiians, and others brought their wives and children over. They
were not restricted to Chinatowns, and many of them soon became successful
merchants and active participants in general community affairs.
The high regard for education which is deeply imbedded in Chinese culture,
and the willingness to work hard to gain advancement, are other noteworthy
characteristics of theirs. This explains why so many descendants of uneducated
laborers have succeeded in becoming doctors, lawyers and other
professionals.

单选题Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is
21
I became an animal collector in the first
22
. The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any
22
was not the conventional "mamma" or "daddy",
24
the word "zoo", which I would
25
over and over again with a shrill
26
until someone, in order to
27
me up, would take me to the zoo. When I
28
a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great
29
of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time
30
the countryside in search of fresh specimens to
31
to my collection of pets.
32
on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student
33
, to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches,
34
were not easy to keep at home. When I left, I
35
had enough money of my own to be able to
36
my first trip and I have been going
37
ever since then. Though a collector"s job is not an easy one and is full of
38
, it is certainly a job which will appeal
39
all those who love animals and
40
.
