28、rted to learn language when we were born. however, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they dont have the same native language. also, the second generation is losing their identity. e

30、cessful. because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose english is not very good. i think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesnt help very much in getting a g

31、ood job. my aunt didnt teach korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the us; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a korean identity. though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. my cousins told me that when they visit

37、 from los angeles to oakland, california. his problems began at the airport in los angeles. he thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. after flying for twenty minutes, the man began to worry. oakland was north of los angeles, but the

38、plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. is this plane going to oakland? he asked the flight attendant (服務(wù)員). the flight attendant was shocked. no, she said. were going to auckland-auckland, new zealand. english is not the only language with simi

39、lar-sounding words. other languages, too, have words that can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.auckland and oakland. when similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do is just laugh and learn from it. of course, sometimes its hard to laugh. the man who traveled to au

45、節(jié)日). two days after the harvest moon festival, yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. her family was sad but at the same time grateful. they felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the harvest moon festival with her one last time. everyone said it was remarkable that yinlan had died just two d

46、ays after the holiday.actually, the timing of yinlans death was not remarkable at all. recently sociologists (社會(huì)學(xué)家) studied the death rate among elderly chinese women in california. they discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the harvest moon festival and then rises 35 percent. socio

47、logists believe that these changes in death rate show the minds power over the body. the harvest moon festival, when families gather, is important to elderly chinese women. apparently some women are able to postpone (推延) their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last time.the idea tha

53、ies of development. although it looks nothing like the ones of old days, there are many similarities. all trumpets are hollow tubes (管) they are all blown. and they all use the players lips to produce their basic sound. the trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size,

54、shape, material, and method of construction. they wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music, and in general, be easier to play well. the remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to per
