Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they’ll say, “Success.” The dream of individual opportunity has been home in American since Europeans discovered a “new world” in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers: in Letters from an American Farmer (1782) he wrote. “We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (無拘無束的) and unrestrained, because each person works for himself … We have no princes, for whom we toil (干苦力活)，starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world.” The promise of a land where “the rewards of a man’s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories.
Our national mythology (神化) is full of illustration of the American success story. There’s Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became American’s best-selling author with rags-to-riches tales. The notion of success haunts us: we spend million every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships: today it’s as important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.
But dreams easily turn into nightmares. Every American who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success inevitably implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. Under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the “right” neighborhoods, wear the “right” clothes, eat the “right” foods. These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.
1.What is the essence of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur?
A. People are free to develop their power of imagination.
B. People who are honest and work hard can succeed.
C. People are free from exploitation and oppression.
D. People can fully enjoy individual freedom.
2.By saying “the rewards of a man’s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” (Line 10, Para. 1), the author means __________ .
A. the more diligent one is, the bigger his returns
B. laborious work ensures the growth of an industry
C. a man’s business should be developed step by step
D. a company’s success depends on its employees’ hard work
3.The characters described in Horatio Alger’s novels are people who ___________.
A. succeed in real estate investment
B. earned enormous fortunes by chances
C. became wealthy after starting life very poor
D. became famous despite their modest origins
4.It can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph that ____________.
A. business success often contributes to a successful marriage
B. Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of life
C. good personal relationships lead to business success
D. successful business people provide good care for their children
5.What is the paradox (說法) of American culture according to the author?
A. The American road to success is full of nightmares.
B. Status symbols are not a real indicator of a person’s wealth.
C. The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream.
D. What Americans strive after often contradicts their beliefs.

Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.
The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise (巨型海龜), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago (群島). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
1.What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands?
A. He completed his famous book on the islands
B. He was touched by the geography of the islands
C. He studied different creatures on the islands
D. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands
2.Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"?
A. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
B. Animals on the islands feed on grass.
C. Local government forbids killing wildlife.
D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
3.Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of _____.
A. Darwin's inspiring trip
B. The beautiful sea views
C. a closer view of animals
D. various daring activities
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Galapagos as a Paradise for Adventures
B. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos
C. A successful Example of Wildlife Protection
D. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers
