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.
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.
"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.
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."
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."
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.
Seetha Crishna found that the girls are easily trapped between
选项
A、their Asian homes and British schools.
B、the parents’ cultures and traditions.
C、the Asian and the British values.
D、their confidence and happiness.
答案
C
解析
第4段反复提及both,two等词,但要找到它们指代什么,要回到第3段末句。这一句的at home和at school后的内容表明移民第二代被困在故国文化和英国文化之间,由此可见,本题应选C。
