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.
"Side-by-side" living style means______.
选项
A、making friends with native people
B、the groups of people who live nearby
C、keeping their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areas
D、that they get closer to American society
答案
C
解析
根据第五、六句“In fact…They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools,business,and sports一but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home.”可知,他们只是在生活的 某些方面(如学校、商业、运动等)加入了一般的美国社会,但在社交方面和家里他们 还保留着自己的风俗习惯。由此可推知,这种生活方式是:既保留自己的风俗习惯, 又在某些方面遵循美国的风俗习惯。故选C。
