III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Every year the United Sates exports

imports similar products from other countries equal to about one percent of the amount exported.

Movies, for example, are one such

51

. The movie industry in countries like England and Italy

is almost completely

52

on American exports. Both countries report that 85% to 95% of all

movie

tickets

sold

each

year

are

for

movies

produced

in

the

United

States.

Millions

of

people

worldwide buy American pop, rap, and rock music. Billions of people drink Coca-Cola and eat

McDonald's hamburgers. American software

53

the computer market.

Can all of the above products be called

54

culture. Most people 55

culture into two forms:

the kind produced by writers and

56

. It is

more concerned with stimulating thought in the

people who view or use it and does not

57

care how marketable people find it Low culture,

58

. is viewed as a product usually for entertainment and is only as good as how well it sells.

Because it is

59

by masses of people, this type of culture can also be called

60

between low and high culture are not very clear.

Pierre Guerlain, a professor of English and American Studies in France, points out that when

a

cultural

product

is

imported,

the

product

cannot

cover

the

existing

culture,

thus

61

it. The

imported product is changed to adapt to the local context. Anyone who believes that a society which

imports American products of mass culture will become a

62

of America is being naive(

幼

稚的

).

America may seem to have the strongest hand in exporting cultural products, but there is a

boomerang(

相反的

) 63

for being more of an exporter than importer. Because Europeans and

Japanese import so many cultural products from the United States, they know a lot more about

American culture

64

than Americans know about European or Japanese culture. It is a definite

advantage for the Europeans and Japanese to be bilingual as well as bicultural. These countries can

use their knowledge of American society and

65

to increase their chances of success in the

American market

Cynthia Kadohata wrote Kira-Kira and never thought it would be so popular among students.

It is a book about a young Japanese-American girl, Katie Takeshima, and the difficulties that her

family

have

to

face

when

they

are

forced

to

move

to

Georgia. This

book

tells

the

story

of

one

family’s

journey

to

a

new

place,

their

experience

of

racism,

and

the

ability

of

people

to

move

forward through hard time.

In

the

book,

Kate

and

Lynn Takeshima

are

sisters. The

story

begins

in

Lowa,

where

their

parents’ small family-owned store runs out of business. Soon after, the Takeshimas begin to face

financial difficulties and they have to go in search of a new living. The family moves to Georgia

where they work at a hatchery

（孵化厂）

with their uncle. On the way to their new home in Georgia

they experience racism. They have difficulty in

“

fitting in

”

when a hotel manager tells them to

go to

“

the back

”

where the < /p>

“

Indians

”

have to stay.

Life gets even harder for the Takeshimas when they begin to work at the hatchery. Katie’s

parents are over- worked there. They have to stay in a

cramped

apartment with little space. And as

if that isn’t enough, Katie has

too much schoolwork to do. During Katie

’

s struggle, Lynn becomes

sick and Katie feels unsafe, because she has always looked up to Lynn. There are hard times that

Katie and her family have to experience. This story is a beautiful-example of resilience (

适应力

)

and friendship. It also opens the reader’s eyes to some of the struggles that Asian Americans are

facing.
