18、e price of tickets. BTo Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “Theres gold in California.” They sailed 7,000 miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese c
19、ame to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too.Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to
20、 return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow people” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many
21、 Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs. Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey(炒杂碎) and

25、 America B. Dream to Strike It RichC. The Difference Between Men and Women D. Gold Miners in AmericaCFlyingEver since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago, that passion rocke
26、ted to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and - best of all - I flew!My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation(航空) to flyi
27、ng in advanced pilot training simulators(模拟装置). At least once a day, I devoted myself to learning one of the worlds best training aircrafts, the Cessna 182. Not only did I receive thorough ground instruction, but I also got to fly. In total, I flew five hours to receive my private pilots license. In
28、 that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. Now, whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride thinking Ive done that.During my time in and above the Arizona desert, I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation, but also a
29、bout myself and how I see the world. As I floated in that seemingly endless sea of air, I became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. On the roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. I wondered if any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. The
30、n I realized that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions. Thats what makes us unique. We try to respond to something special inside us. I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.Everywhere I go, I hear, “Do what makes you happy and you will be ha
31、ppy.” It sounds like standardadvice, but Ive really thought about it and taken it to heart. I couldnt care less about how much money I make or what benefits I receive. I know that I am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams. And, even if they change, even if they finally dont involve aviation, Ill always aim to fly with the eagles.28. What happened to the author two years ago?A. He was admitted to a university. B. He stayed in a university for one week.C. He saw the launch of the rocket. D. He made good frie
