SECTION ONE: Reading Comprehension Read the following text carefully then answer the questions
The U.S.A is a country of immigrants, but today’s newcomers are different. Immigrants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries became part of the great American melting pot. They learnt the language and integrated into the culture of their new home. But today’s immigrants keep their own culture. They have their own T.V channels, daily newspapers and magazines.
The English language has almost disappeared in many places. Parts of Florida, California and Texas are now Spanish speaking. In a huge supermarket in Rockville, Maryland, every customer is from the Fast East. You will hear Japanese, Korean and Chinese, but you won’t hear any English. And this language problem won’t get any better. Immigrant parents are demanding education for their children in their own language. If this happens, it will soon be possible to grow up in America and never speak English.
