Many major cities in the world today have large populations of people who have recently arrived; they
have emigrated from other countries. Perhaps you, too, have left a familiar place to come to a new city
or a new country. Or you may live in a city where there are large numbers of newcomers. Adapting to
a new place forces people to seek out new friends, face new problems, and often learn a new language.

1. The underlined word who is related to

A. cities.
B. people.
C. major.
D. countries.

A. people are forced to leave their native countries.
B. major cities of the world have received many visitors.
C. people have immigrated to other countries due to overpopulation.

People are living longer in the United States. As a result, more and more middle aged adults are
becoming caretakers of their aging parents. When their parents can no longer care for themselves,
these adults stay at home to care for them in much the same way they cared for their own children.

Playing the role of "parent sitter" is quite difficult and frustrating. For example, an aging parent may
become blind. No longer able to see, the old person needs his or her children to perform many every
day jobs. Another example is the parent who becomes brain damaged during the aging process.
Natural roles are then reversed, as children are forced to care for their parents as if their parents were
children.

The United States is now becoming a non-smoking society. Across the country, hundreds of towns and
cities, and even entire states, are passing strict laws to control the sale and use of cigarettes. In New
York, for example, smoking is illegal in public buildings, hospitals, schools, banks, stores, movie
theaters, taxi cabs, and restrooms, to name a few places. In addition, smoking is prohibited anywhere
in the U.S. on airline flights that last two hours or less. And now many private companies have also

We owe our nation's state park system to one of the world's most recognizable landmarks -Niagara
Falls. By 1880, a ring of industrial sites and man-made attractions had so completely choked off public
access to the falls that the only views from American soil were on private land. News of Niagara's plight
spread when a group of artists and politicians spearheaded a campaign to buy back the land, creating
a preserve. Finally, in 1885, after six years of legislative wrangling, New York Governor David B. Hill
dedicated the famous landmark "free to mankind", and our state park system was born.

America's parks really took off in the 1930's when the country was booming with public works projects.
The Civilian Conservation Corps built camps and trails that gave Americans access to the outdoors.
Now, there are more than 5.000 state parks, nearly ninety-five times the number of national parks. That
means at least a few per state, or a short drive for most families.

A. suspended.

D. eliminated.

was booming with public works projects” means that
A. America's parks were destroyed in the 1930's because of the increase of public works projects.
B. America's parks began to emerge in the 1930's due to the decrease of public works projects.
C. public works projects increased because of the beginning of America's parks in the 1930's.
D. public works projects encouraged the beginning of America's parks in the 1930's.

12. The title of the text could be

A. The history of America's state parks
B. How were America's national parks born?
C. Why visit America's state parks?
D. A guide to America's national parks
