She sees that she got a text from her friend, and hurriedly texts back before getting a head start on her homework.‎ ‎4:15 pm Alice takes a moon cake from the kitchen that her mother has set aside for her. Her mother sits her down in the dining room to ask about Alice’s day. Alice tells her mother in Chinese about her math test that morning. She fails to tell her about her history class on women’s rights and her modern art class, because she knows it would make her mother uncomfortable.‎ ‎6:30 pm Alice tells her mother in rapid Chinese that she’s done her homework and mentions that there is a mandatory(强制的) school function that night which she will have to attend. She asks her if she can go over to a friend’s house to study in the meantime. Her mother refuses because she has arranged for a tutor to come over. ‎ ‎7:00 pm Alice puts on a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, because she knows her mother would approve, but secretly packs a crop top(露脐装) and shorts. She empties her backpack of books and puts in her change of clothes.‎ ‎7:45 pm Alice’s mother drives her to the school and drops her off. She tells Alice that she’ll pick her up when the function is over. The girl tells her mother that she will call.‎ ‎8:00 pm Alice finds her friend. She changes to English and tells her that she’ll be right back. She goes into the bathroom and changes into the clothes that she brought. She now looks like all the other kids at the dance. She deeply loves her mother and hates lying to her, but she knows that is the only way she’ll understand. Avoiding the issue entirely by just “slipping out” is the only way she feels she can maintain her loving relationship at home, but still fit in with her schoolmates, who are themselves doing something that is supported by their parents.‎ In today’s world, scenarios (情况) like this one are more than frequent. They’re everywhere. Being born or living in a different country than the country your parents grew up in has become more and more regular. In the U.S. where the word “immigration” (移民) is often on people’s lips, nearly one-quarter of the 70.9 million children and adolescents under 17 in 2009 had at least one immigrant parent. The untold story of immigration is the stress put on the adolescents who need to live in two different worlds at the same time.‎ In the home, these teenagers are brought up within the traditional culture of their parents. They eat sushi, andxiao long bao, but even more than that, they’re brought up with the ideas and values of their parents’ cultures. Even the most independent teenager is influenced by his or her parents. However, as soon as these teenagers leave their houses, these ‎ values and expectations begin to lose their meaning. Instead of it being something that unites them with others, these traditional principles create cultural boundaries between teenagers. Seeing this and desperately wanting to connect with others, teenagers cast off(抛弃)their identities and roles in the home and put on a new culture and set of values.‎ These teenagers change themselves many times a day to adapt to these different worlds. Of course this isn’t something that they necessarily have to do. But following what their parents want and what their friends expect gives them the ability to feel accepted both in their home and in their school. In most cases, these teenagers are not pretending to be something they’re not. Rather, they are simply willing to play double roles in the drama of their life, adding an extra layer of stress to their teenage years.‎ 81. What does Alice probably do between 3:00 pm and 4:15 pm?‎ A. She keeps texting her friend. B. She prepares for supper.‎ C. She does her homework. D. She tidies her bedroom.‎ ‎82. What can be inferred (推断) from Alice’s story?‎ A. Her mother is interested in history and art.‎ B. She is forbidden to speak Chinese at school.‎ C. Her social life is limited by her mother.‎ D. Her mother doesn’t seem to care much about her studies.‎ 83. By “slipping out” in Paragraph 6, the author probably means Alice ________.‎ A. tells her mother she’ll go over to her friend’s home B. goes to dance at the school party with other kids ‎ C. wears a long-sleeved shirt and jeans D. fails to tell her mother what she’ll truly do 84. According to the passage, what do you think of the life of teenagers from immigrant families?‎ A. Colorful. B. Embarrassing. C. Traditional. D. Independent.‎ 85. The last paragraph implies (暗示) that teenagers from immigrant families ________. ‎ A. have their own ways to cope with stress B. are fairly glad to learn different cultures C. feel rather satisfied with their social activities D. want to be accepted by the people around them 参考答案：81 --85.CCDBD
