根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
Although divided by religion, residentsof the United States are united by national holidays such as Thanksgiving andIndependence Day. For many, Thanksgiving evokes the smell of turkey baking inthe oven, a house packed with family and friends, and the often necessarypost-dinner nap.
However, not all U.S. residents share thesame rituals. For some, macaroni (通心粉) and cheese is a requisite part ofThanksgiving dinner, while for others, such a dish would never appear on themenu.
For some, turkey does not even make anappearance on the dinner table. Some of my Korean American friends celebrateThanksgiving not with the typical roasted turkey, but with Korean barbecue.Although these friends enjoy celebrating typical U.S. holidays, they prefer todo so while eating the foods of their home culture.
What do the traditions surroundingThanksgiving and Independence Day mean to recent immigrants to the UnitedStates, and what happens when the dominant culture conflicts with an individual´shome culture? Some, including my Korean American friends, have found ways to synthesizetwo different cultures into one personally meaningful holiday. Not all familiesare similarly successful. Likewise, what happens when students from immigrantfamilies begin college?
Should educators expect them to choosebetween the U.S. favorites of apple pie and baseball and their home culture, orshould they help students integrate their two cultural identities into one cohesivewhole?
These are the sorts of questions that JhumpaLahiri explores in The Namesake, her follow-up to Interpreter of Maladies, aPulitzer Prize-winning collection of short stories. In The Namesake, AshokeGanguli and his wife Ashima emigrate from Calcutta to Boston in the late 1960sto allow Ashoke to pursue a graduate degree. For their first few years in theUnited States, Ashima feels isolated and unhappy. She spends her days in bed,reading and rereading the same letters from her family in India.
Her isolation is simultaneously compoundedand reduced by the birth of her son. Although she now has an individual to occupyher attention, she is more acutely aware of the distance that separates herfrom her family in India, wishing she could turn to them for help with childrearing. In time, the Gangulis become involved in a network of other Bengalifamilies in the Boston area. This community serves as an extended family. Itsmembers spend most weekends together and share celebrations and sorrows overmajor life events.
{TS} Which of the following statementsis true according to the first paragraph?

22

A、To illustrate how immigrants deal withthe two cultures.
B、To show that Korean Americans prefertheir traditional foods to American ones.
C、To suggest that new immigrants shouldtake with them some local food.
D、To prove that Korean Americans dislikeU.S. Holidays.
23
What problem is not covered in TheNamesake?
A、The impact of American tradition onrecent immigrants.
B、The immigrants' ways to deal with the twocultures.
C、The immigrants' ways to maintain abalanced diet.
D、The teachers' duty to help immigrantstudents.

Opinion polls are now beginning to showthat, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemploymentis probably here to say. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing theavailable employment more widely.
But we need to go further. We must ask somefundamental questions about the future work. Should we continue to treatemployment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many ways for self-respectingpeople to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work forourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive thehousehold and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, ascenters of production and work?
The industrial age has been the only periodof human history in which most people´s work has taken the form of jobs. Theindustrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in workpatterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a dauntingthought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work.Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when theenclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paidwork by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to providea living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottageindustries and removed work from people´s homes. Later, as transport improvedfirst by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to theirplaces of employment until, eventually, many people´s work lost all connectionwith their home lives and the places in which they live.
Meanwhile, employment put women at adisadvantage. In preindustrial times, men and women had shared the productivework of the household and village community. Now it became customary for thehusband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home andfamilies to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm today,and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.
It was not only women whose work statussuffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and oldpeople were exeluded--a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated atschool and more retired people want to live active lives.
All this may now have to change.
The time has certainly come to switch someeffort and resources away from the idealist goal creating jobs for all, to theurgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full- time jobs.
