parents，”says Katherine．“They had so many life stresses so their children could、 get a greateducation and have a comfortable life．” Thedreams of parents and children often differ，but the conflict canbe especially painful in first-generationimmigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices．Lisa Park，an assistantprofessor at the University of California，San Diego，says that：the focus ofevery family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for theirchildren is almost always on the future，with little mentionof the circumstances that compelled them to move．And even though the parentsare the ones working 12-hour days，the children ale also under intense pressure to perform in ways thatwill justify the parents’ sacrifice． Thecontrast between parents’ dreams andchildren’s realities can be particularly sharp for daughterswho have grown up with almost infinite opportunities．Theirmothers often came from placeswhere opportunities for women were limited，which makes thedaughters’ choices even harder tounderstand．Mary Lugemwa’s parents encouraged her to study math or science atHarvard． Shecomplied at first，majoring in computer science．But she is currentlyworking as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media．“I sometimesfeel guilty，”she says， “having chosen,to bean artist，because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background，I could helpmy parents a lot more．” 46．WhenKatherine Chon was a fifth—grader，________． [A]shehad a great interest in drawing [B]she had a clear vision of her future [C]shehad an independent personality [D]she had a desire to study in the U．S． 47．It can be inferredfrom the text that Katherine’s mother_______． [A]wasdisappointed at her daughter’s decision [B]wasshocked by the suffering of some women [C]failedto give her kids enough opportunities [D]failedto realize her own dream to be a doctor 48：According tothe text，in first—generation immigrant families，the parents feelfrustrated if [A]theyfail to adjust to the circumstances [B]theyare forced to make great sacririces [C]theirchildren fail to focus on the future [D]theirchildren develop against their wishes 49．According toLisa Park，first—generation immigrant children_______． [A]avoidthe slightest mention of their parents’ past [B]focuson seizing chances for future development [C]workvery hard to justify their parents’ sacrifices [D]areunder pressure to fulfill their parents’ dreams

50．We learnfrom Mary Lugemwa’s case that_______． [A]herparents cherished opportunities more than she did [B]herparents’ dreams and her reality could bebalanced [C]shehad a quite different view of life from her parents [D]sheenjoyed infinite opportunities in career development Text 2 MothersAgainst Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimedat Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler．“Enough is Enough”advocatesdropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0．08 to 0．05 percent， to“protectinnocent drivers on our roads．”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limitcould result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths．Butquestions have been raised about the science behind that campaign． MADDselectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the MentalHealth Centre．Mama，in turn，had gotthose numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden andAustralia．The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors’numerouswarnings and cautions，as well as the limitations in the Australian study．First，theAustralian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing，not loweredBAC levels，on fatal traffic crashes．Also．thatresearch was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far more common．What’s more．the Australian data varied：whereas the state ofQueensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie，inneighboring New South Wales，fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent． It isalso reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers inalcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0．15percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheelwith BAC levels twice the legal limit．not social drinkerswho consume a glass of wine or tw0．This makes MADD’sconcern seem wasteful，given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths． TheCanada Safety Council，the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and theTraffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign．Even theOntario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean morework for police and the courts． But toMADD’s Murie，the math question is simple：“If you lower BAClimits， regardless to what level，you’ll saveCanadian lives．”Unfortunately，the math doesn’t quite add up． 51．MADDlaunched a public awareness campaign in order to_______． [A]criticizethe Justice Minister [B]improve BAC measurement [C]restrictdrivers’access to alcohol [D]revise the law regarding drunk driving 52．From thetext we learn that MADD cites a report that________．
