     You may have heard the term "the American Dream". In 1848, James W. Marshall found gold in
California and people began having golden dreams. That 19th century "American Dream" motivated
the Gold Rush and gave California its nickname of the "Golden State".
    The American Dream drove not only 1800s gold-rush prospectors(采礦者)but also waves of
immigrants throughout that century and the next. People from Europe, and a large number of Chinese,
arrived in the US in the 19th century hoping that in America they would find gold in the streets. But
most, instead, worked as railroad laborers. They created the oldest Chinatown, in San Francisco, and
gave the city a Chinese name "the old gold hill".
     In the 20th century, some critics said that it was no longer possible to become prosperous through
determination and hard work. Unfair education for students from poor families and racial discrimination
almost made the American Dream a nightmare(噩夢(mèng)).
     Then, in the 1990s, California saw a new wave of dreamers in Silicon Valley. People poured their
energy into the Internet. This new chapter of the American Dream attracted many business people and
young talents from China and India to form start-ups and seek fortune in America. Better pay, a nice
house, and a rising standard of living will always be attractive. However, the new American Dream is
no longer just about money. It encourages Americans to consume wisely to protect the environment,
improve the quality of life, and promote social justice.
    The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the model of the new American
Dream. After years of hard work, he grew from a poor young man from Austria into a super movie
star and then a governor. Many people hope his story can save the American Dream and give California
a brighter future.

1. The "American Dream" was appealing to _______________.

A. Americans only.
B. Chinese and Indians .
C. Europeans.
D. people all over the world

2. It can be inferred that ____________.

A. America's golden dream could never be realized
B. different times have different themes of the American dream
C. America's golden dream brought great fortune to Chinese immigrants
D. determination and hard work are the best way to realize the American dream

3. Why did most of the early immigrants work as railroad laborers?

A. Because they could earn more money as railroad laborers.
B. Because they thought railroad was the first step to find gold.
C. Because railroad laborers were greatly honored at that time.
D. Because they had to make a living by working as railroad laborers.

4. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicates that ___________.

A. most of the immigrants to America don't reach their previous goals
B. the dream of seeking fortune in America is easy to realize
C. the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger is a common example of the immigrants
D. the immigrants have made great contributions to California

5. Which may be the best title of the passage?

A. Waves of Immigrants to America
B. Hard Work Leads to Success
C. Changes of America's Golden Dream
D. Make Fortunes Abroad
