21、of these work for you, that doesnt mean that you have no ability of telepathy.

34、sian Americans have become the fastest growing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineer
35、ing departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. T
36、hey are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college.

Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a
39、typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.62. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American

I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat q
45、uietly listening to the others. Someone said, “Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro.

47、ting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”Franks
48、 voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. It would wheeze and rattle down the road. You could hear it coming for blocks. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrin
49、k (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek
50、and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big sm
51、ile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, Im too old for a goodbye kiss. Im too old for any kind of kiss.” My Dad looked at me for the longest time, a
52、nd his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ Youre right,” he said. “ You are a big boy.a man.

53、d never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet (船队) stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. They found his boat adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the floats.”I looked at Frank and saw that tears
54、were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, you dont know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheekto feel his rough old face to smell the ocean on him to feel his arm around my neck.
