Who are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America "home" , but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become "Americans" is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of "side-by-side" living, in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools, business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This "side-by-side" living has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music, food, national groups, or newspapers.
According to the passage, people in the USA______.
选项
A、have to share American customs and culture
B、live in a kind of "side-by-side" society
C、keep their own customs and habits firmly
D、have no choice but to accept American customs
答案
B
解析
根据第五句“…‘side-by-side’living,in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits.”可知,来自其他国家的移民没有完全遵循自己的风俗习惯,也没有完全抛弃,而是推崇“side-by-side”这种生活方式,即“保留许多自己的风俗习惯,并在某些方面参与到美国社会中”。故选B。
