(1)Growing up as an Asian in Britain is much more than a question of facing discrimination and trying to find a decent job—especially for a girl. She has to keep a delicate balance between two cultures: her own (Indian, Pakistani Bangladeshi, etc.) and the British.
(2)Seetha Crishna has written a booklet called Girls of Asian Origin in Britain. In it the girls she is most concerned with are those who are definitely different because they have gone through the British educational system and have therefore emerged with an identity which is distinct from that of their parents.
(3) "They speak English with regional English accents, they look comfortable in Western clothes, and they do not necessarily choose to work in a factory." But they are unmistakably Asian and they are still held by their Asian cultural roots. At home, an Asian girl may find herself conforming to the traditions and values of her parents, while at school she develops the attitudes and appetites of her British contemporaries.
(4)As a result, Seetha Crishna found girls existing at two levels—and inclined to question both. "But unless they can successfully accept both, they will swing constantly from one level to the other, feeling trapped between the two—at considerable cost to their own confidence and happiness."
(5)For teenage girls, the main difficulty is to match the social life which their parents expect them to live with that enjoyed by their schoolmates. "If an Asian girls is invited out to a party or to a film by someone her mother has not met, that person must come and meet her mother before permission is given—or refused. If a group of girls plan to go to the cinema, parents want them to be accompanied by brothers or male cousins, or even by an older relative or a trusted adult friend of the family."
(6)Friends are girl friends. "Friends of the opposite sex simply do not exist, except for a brother’s male friends, who fall into the category of brothers." In South Asia, all this is taken for granted and all girls are subject to the same rule. But in Britain an Asian girl can immediately see the difference between her own life and that of her English schoolmates, and this makes it seem unjust and unfair. Some parents are aware that this puts a strain on their daughters and are therefore prepared to turn a blind eye if the code is sometimes broken. But above all they are anxious to "protect" the girls.
What is NOT true about the Asian British parents?
选项
A、They speak English with their homeland accent.
B、They make their living in Britain by working in a factory.
C、They have never had any education in Britain.
D、They preserve their native traditions and values at home.
答案
D
解析
第3段首句的开头只提到了移民的第二代讲英语的时候带有英国的地方口音,但从这一句难以判定他们的父母英语讲得怎样,是带有英国地方口音,还是带有祖籍的口音,还是根本不会讲英文,这些都不得而知。故排除A。第3段首句虽然提到亚裔女孩不一定会在工厂谋生,但至于父母是不是一定会在工厂工作却无从推断,故排除B。第2段末句虽然提到移民第二代与父母的差别是前者在英国接受教育而造成的,但C中的never说法过于绝对。根据第3段末句可确定D的说法正确。
