For many in the United States,Arab-Americans are an invisible part of the population.
Though Arab-Americans as a community have made great contributions to American
society in fields from literature to politics to medicine,many Americans know very little
about Americans of Arab backgrounds．
Arab history in the United States goes back to the late 1800"s when large numbers
of Arab immigrants first began making their journey to a land known simply as"Amreeka"．
Historians generally describe Arab immigration to America in two waves．The first wave
took place between 1860 and 1924．The first wave consisted of Lebanese and Syrian,and
some Egyptian immigrants．These new immigrants,who were mostly Christian,came to
America in search of better opportunities．Even the doomed Titanic,which set sail for
America in 1912,had close to a hundred Arab passengers aboard．The majority of
Arab-Americans today are descendents of the first wave of immigrants;they are the third
or more generation Americans．
The second wave of immigrants followed after World War Ⅱ,caused by political unrest
in the Middle East．This second wave of immigrants consists of mainly Arab Muslims(穆斯
林)and continues to this day．
Arab-Americans make up 3 million of the population in the United States,according to
demographers．And quite different from popular belief,64 percent of them are American-born．
Eighty-two percent of Arab-Americans are US citizens．
Arab-Americans are beyond the national average in both education and income．Education
is important among Arab-Americans;82 percent have high school diplomas,36 percent have
bachelor"s degrees or higher,and 15 percent have graduate degrees．The-median(中位数的)
average income among Arab-Americans is $39 580,which is higher than the US average．
B．The Two Arab Immigration Waves to America．
C．Arab-Americans,Contributions to America
D．Arab-Americans,Education and Income．
B．Arabs wanted to hunt for a better development
C．the Second World War broke out
D．Arabs wanted to gain higher income
B．because Titanic became a well-known disaster
C．to show us there were many Arabs flocking into America at that time
D．to inform us that Arabs are brave enough
B．Arab-Americans are hard-working people
C．the higher education you receive,the higher income you will get in America
D．Arab-Americans play the most important role in the American average in both education and income

liability (法律责任) issues, but also covers many other legal and financial challenges that
might cause you problems. For instance, there is an IRS guideline that requires company
cell phones to be used only for business purposes. Personal use of these devices is
considered as a taxable benefit, which can be considered as part of your income and
therefore must be included in the income to be declared for tax.
Then how to make a good cell phone policy? Here are some tips for you to follow.
Make sure there are provisions (条款) in your cell phone policy for business and personal
use. You must make it clear what is allowed and what is not. A good Cell phone policy should
clearly show your managers and employees the company-wide rules for cell phone usage. This
will avoid some managers making their own decisions.
Employees should understand that cell phones are controlled not by them, but by a company
authorized (公司批准的) employee who is the only person authorized to order devices, assign
plans, manage devices and the like. This will prohibit employees from ordering whatever services
they want.
Another mobile device issue is liability for damage (赔偿责任). A good cell phone policy also
states responsibility for lost or damaged phones and how to report problems. This will prevent
confusion and help keep costs under control.
Once you have a company cell phone policy in place, make sure you read and discuss it
thoroughly with all of your employees. Have them sign the policy to ensure that they understand
the information contained within. Be sure to provide employees with a copy of the policy. This
will help reduce your company"s liability for any legal issue that may arise.
B. pay more tax if he uses a company cell phone for business purposes
C. pay less tax if he uses a company cell phone for personal purposes
D. pay more tax if he uses a company cell phone for personal purposes
B. be discussed and signed by all the employees of the company
C. be provided for employees in copies to make sure they understand it
D. prohibit employees from ordering any kind of service they want
B. How to make a good cell phone policy?
C. Reasonable rules are necessary in running companies.
D. Ways to make companies run well.
,属美国加利福利亚州), California high school football coach Bob Peters, 39. Bob had just
drawn up a "motherhood contract" - a document stating that for 70 days this summer he would
take over the care and feeding of the couple"s four children, plus all household chores. Although
he didn"t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident. (He though
t the experience would make a nice book.)
After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. "I was beaten down, completely humbled,"
admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press (also part of the bargain), stating,
"Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for
any normal human being."
Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they were married in 1960, she worked as
a secretary to help pat him through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling
coach at Palo Alto"s Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids.
Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. "I had been around
children so much, "she sighs, "I couldn"t talk to a grown-up." She continued to run the house-hold,
however until Bob signed the contract, whereupon she decided to relax and enjoy it. Although
Peters had consulted (咨询) with his school"s home economics teachers and the head of the
cafeteria (食堂), his meals were sometimes a disaster. "I tried to slip the butter I"d forgotten under
the eggs after they were frying," he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot sometimes
having Macdonald"s hamburgers for lunch and dinner.
As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean
if the bed is made. "I found an easier way I shut the doors," he says. Soon the kids were wearing
the same clothes for a week. I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick
up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean."
Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely (日常地)sharing the child-raising
and household tasks with Pat. The tentative (暂定的) tide of his book about the summer is taken
from something he shouted at the kids one day.
B. Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good rest
C. they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasks
D. Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book
C. She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.
D. She did not love Bob any longer
B. "I"m proud of you all, my dear!"
C "Wait till your mother gets home!"
D. "Motherhood: an impossible job for anyone."
B. Bob tried to cook good meals for his children.
C. Bob frequently took the kids out to eat because he was too busy at work.
D. Bob taught the kids to make their beds every day.
evidence of life.
" Sharp new images received from their Phoenix lander convinced scientists that the
spacecraft " s thrusters (推进器) had uncovered a large patch of ice just below the Martian
surface, " team members said.
That bodes (预示) well for the mission " s main goal of digging for ice that can be tested
for evidence of organic compounds that are the chemical building blocks of life.
Washington University scientist Ray Arvidson said the spacecraft" s thrusters may have blown
away dirt covering the ice when the robot landed one week ago.
Scientists said a detailed image taken under the lander shows one of the craft"s three legs
sitting on rough dirt and a large patch of what appears to be ice-possibly 3 feet(0. 9 metres) in
diameter(直径) -that apparently had been covered by a thin layer of dirt.
" We were worried that it may be 30-,40-,50-centimeter deep, which would be a lot of
work. Now we are fairly certain that we can easily get down to the ice table, " said Peter Smith,
a University of Arizona scientist who is in charge of the project.
The spacecraft is equipped with a shovel-like robot arm that will be used to dig into the ground
and collect samples for testing in the lander"s small laboratories.
The lander was sent to a spot on Mars" northern regions in hopes of finding frozen water, but
just how deep underground it would be found was unknown.
The robot arm is expected to begin its first digging operations after several more days of testing.
Once the arm starts digging, dirt and ice it scoops up will be deposited(存放 ) in several small
ovens to be heated. Measuring devices will test the resulting gases.
The University of Arizona in Tucson is leading and NASA"s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is managing
the three-month scientific mission.
B. To explore life in outer space.
C. To study the minerals in the soil.
D. To discover new resources in outer space.
