sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to
this area and Limhouse began to be known as "Chinatown". However, London"s Chinese community remained
very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.
After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As
Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled (定居) in a different area-a part of central
London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.
At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese
restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful!
Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little
work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or
waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.
As time went by, London"s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and
daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly
paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown,
however, is still as lively as ever.
B. More than 200 years ago.
C. After the Second World War.
D. At the start of the 20th century.
B. Because Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war.
C. Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food.
D. Because their children could study there and get highly paid jobs.
B. farmers
C. sailors and farmers
D. restaurant workers
B. In Limhouse.
C. Not far from Leicester Square.
D. Outside the city.
B. far away from the city
C. in the centre of the city
D. in the outer areas of the city
