More than 215 million 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 living “side by side” 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 newspaper. How many people call America “home”? What will you see if you look at the names on shop windows? How do the strangers join American society? What are the disadvantages of the “side by side” living? What does the passage mainly tell us about? 东城 八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分） When Ron Clark began teaching in 1995, his teacher gave him this advice, “If you can influence the life of one child, you’ll be a success.” Up to now, Ron still doesn’t agree with that advice.
