Between 1870 and 1900, nearly 12 million immigrants came to the United States. The majority came from Germany, Ireland, and, England. 31 At first, they were attracted to North America by the gold rush in California and many looked for gold on their own or worked for other miners. After the gold rush, some Chinese immigrants worked as agricultural laborers, with railroad construction crews throughout the West, and at low-paying industrial jobs. 32
Later, with the beginning of difficult economic times in the 1870s, other immigrants and European Americans began to compete for jobs originally reserved for the Chinese. 33 Many European Americans called for the Chinese immigrants to be kicked out of the United States. The result was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This piece of legislation prevented any more Chinese immigration to the United States for almost the next 100 years.
34 Over the years, many Chinese Americans have blended the American lifestyle with a Chinese one, furthering the meaning of the United States being a country that features almost every culture from around the world.
(A) Despite all the obstacles, the Chinese have slowly gained acceptance in American society.
(B) With this competition came dislike and even racial hatred toward the Chinese.
(C) Many Chinese also began their immigration from 1876 to 1882.
(D) Others chose to open their own businesses such as restaurants and laundries.

One's teenage years are difficult because teenagers have so much pressure from school, their parents, and changes in their bodies. As a result, it is necessary for teenagers to learn how pressure affects them and how they can deal with it.
Under pressure, the body reacts in many ways. Both heartbeat and breathing become faster, which sometimes leads to headaches and high blood pressure. Muscles become tight and even painful. Teenagers under pressure may be more sensitive to noise and to their surroundings and feel angry or sad easily. It may be hard to get enough sleep, and teenagers may feel tired even after they sleep for a long time. Pressure may keep teenagers from focusing, and make them forget things easily. These problems often make teenagers feel unhappy and think that life is miserable.
There are helpful ways for teenagers to get away from pressure. Firstly, playing sports does them good because healthy bodies make for healthy minds. Secondly, eating healthy foods and getting enough rest can help them relax. Thirdly, happy thoughts allow them to look on the

第39至42題為題組
Hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil, in liquid solutions. Why would we want to grow things without soil? Well, it is usually because there isn't any!
For example, one American airline used hydroponics techniques in the 1930s to grow vegetables on a rocky island that had no soil. Airplanes flying from the USA to Guam and back again had to stop on the island, and the passengers had to be kept supplied with fresh vegetables.
Space is another area where hydroponics could be useful. NASA has shown great interest in this field of research. Of course, growing plants in a conventional way is very difficult on a spacecraft, and would be even more difficult on another planet! NASA hopes that one day hydroponics will allow astronauts to grow their own food while they are in space and perhaps even establish colonies on the moon or Mars.
It's not just in space or remote islands that hydroponics can be useful, however. One American company is using hydroponics techniques to build rooftop gardens on large buildings inside major cities. This could help tackle the problem of global food shortages. What's more, because the food does not have to be transported over long distances, it is cheaper and fresher!
As the examples above indicate, hydroponics is a fascinating branch of scientific research that may bring us many benefits in the future.
