In only two decades Asian American have become the fastest-growing US minority. 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 education 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 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.
Why do the two "explanations"(Para. 3)worry Asian Americans?
选项
A、They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.
B、People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C、Asian-Americans would be a threat to other minorities.
D、American academic achievements have taken on too strong at Asian character.
答案
A
解析
从第三段第二句:“Many can rememberwhen Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrantswere the victims of social isolation.”可知,中国、日本、菲律宾移民曾为社会疏离的受害者,这正是亚裔美国人所担心的。故选A。
