In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian- American students ______.
A. generally feel it is a shame to have to depend on their parents
B. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
C. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
D. still worry about unfair treatment in society
What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A. Asian culture and the American educational system.
B. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and being Asian Americans.
C. Hard work and intelligence.
D. Parental help and a limited knowledge of English.
Why do the two “explanations” (Line 1, Para. 3 ) worry Asian Americans ?
A. American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.
B. They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.
C. People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
D. Asian Americans would be a threat to other minorities
The author’s tone in this passage is .

阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格内填入最恰当的词.( 每空1词)
In a society such as America or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualism—the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast (对比), the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient (东方) reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students do by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline (纪律) and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is , however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place．
Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before．Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West．In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university．Students must first pass the strict national examination．However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go．As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university．
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East．Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes．Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West．Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”．
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem．Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school．To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well．Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere．What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education．
1.Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________．
A. they hope their children may easily find a job there
B. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
C. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
D. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
2. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________．
A. without patents
B. living abroad alone
C. with university education
D. speaking no English
3.Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ______．
A. want to leave their own country
B. want them to go to university
C. return to their countries to work
D. want them to be independent
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Parents want better education for their kids．
B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families．
C. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem．
D. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family．
