　　[01:34.43]to check your work.

　　[01:35.55]Chinese Americans

　　[01:38.45]Good morning.

　　[01:38.92]We'll continue with

　　[01:40.36]our introduction

　　[01:41.15]to American minorities.

　　[01:42.55]Today's focus is on

　　[01:44.37]Chinese Americans.

　　[01:45.55]For many years it was common

　　[01:47.65]in the United States

　　[01:48.74]to associate Chinese Americans

　　[01:50.69]with restaurants and laundries.

　　[01:52.58]People did not realize

　　[01:54.33]that the Chinese had been

　　[01:55.57]driven into these occupations

　　[01:56.89]by prejudice and discrimination

　　[01:58.77]that used to face them

　　[02:00.17]in this country.

　　[02:00.96]The first group of Chinese came

　　[02:03.08]during the California Gold Rush

　　[02:04.70]of 1849.

　　[02:05.86]Like most of the other people,

　　[02:07.97]they had come to search for gold.

　　[02:09.89]In that largely unoccupied land,

　　[02:12.09]they staked a claim for themselves

　　[02:14.13]by placing markers in the ground.

　　[02:15.85]However, either

　　[02:17.41]because the Chinese were

　　[02:18.61]so different from the others or

　　[02:20.17]because they worked so patiently

　　[02:21.81]that they sometimes succeeded

　　[02:23.30]in turning a seemingly worthless

　　[02:25.03]mining claim into a profitable one,

　　[02:27.03]they became the scapegoats

　　[02:28.97]of their envious competitors.

　　[02:30.05]They were harassed in many ways.

　　[02:32.05]Often they were prevented

　　[02:33.61]from working on their claims;

　　[02:35.00]some localities even

　　[02:36.57]passed regulations forbidding them

　　[02:38.29]to own claims.

　　[02:39.45]Therefore, these Chinese had to

　　[02:41.53]seek out other ways

　　[02:42.47]of earning a living.

　　[02:43.35]Some of them began to do

　　[02:44.91]the laundry for the white miners;

　　[02:46.47]others set up small restaurants.

　　[02:48.21]Some others went to work

　　[02:50.00]as farmhands or as fishermen.

　　[02:51.77]In the early 1860s,

　　[02:54.16]a second group of Chinese

　　[02:55.32]arrived in California.

　　[02:56.73]This time,

　　[02:57.73]they were imported as work crews

　　[02:59.49]to construct

　　[03:00.22]the first transcontinental railroad.

　　[03:02.08]The work was so strenuous

　　[03:03.91]and dangerous,

　　[03:04.71]and it was carried on

　　[03:05.90]in such a remote part of the country

　　[03:07.57]that the railroad company

　　[03:08.98]could not find other laborers

　　[03:10.77]for the job.

　　[03:11.51]As in the case of their predecessors,

　　[03:13.18]these Chinese

　　[03:14.39]were almost all males

　　[03:15.43]and they encountered

　　[03:16.39]a great deal of prejudice.

　　[03:17.42]The hostility grew especially

　　[03:19.63]strong after the railroad project

　　[03:21.49]was completed,

　　[03:22.35]and the imported laborers

　　[03:23.70]returned to California,

　　[03:24.81]all out of work.

　　[03:26.07]Because there were

　　[03:27.23]so many more of them this time,

　　[03:28.67]these Chinese drew even

　　[03:30.29]more attention than

　　[03:31.22]the earlier group did.

　　[03:32.27]They were so different

　　[03:33.74]in every aspect:

　　[03:34.63]in their physical appearance,

　　[03:36.02]in their language, and in their religion.

　　[03:38.45]They were contemptuously called

　　[03:39.95]"heathen Chinese".

　　[03:41.35]When times were hard,

　　[03:43.19]they were blamed

　　[03:44.19]for working for lower wages

　　[03:45.72]and taking jobs away from white men.

　　[03:47.65]And these white men were actually

　　[03:49.37]recent immigrants themselves.

　　[03:50.74]Anti-Chinese riots broke out

　　[03:52.71]in many cities,

　　[03:53.58]and some even developed into

　　[03:54.94]arson and bloodshed.

　　[03:56.11]The Chinese were

　　[03:57.36]not allowed to make legal appeals

　　[03:58.94]and they were not accepted as

　　[03:59.95]American citizens.

　　[04:00.81]Californians began to demand

　　[04:02.88]that no more Chinese

　　[04:04.02]be permitted to enter their state.

　　[04:05.67]Finally, in 1882,

　　[04:08.09]the Congress passed

　　[04:09.42]the Chinese Exclusion Act,

　　[04:11.00]which stopped the immigration

　　[04:12.49]of Chinese laborers.

　　[04:13.50]Many Chinese returned to

　　[04:15.19]their homeland,

　　[04:16.03]and their numbers declined sharply

　　[04:17.46]in the early part of this century.

　　[04:18.87]However, during WWII,

　　[04:21.45]when China was an ally

　　[04:22.80]of the United States,

　　[04:23.67]the exclusion laws were ended.

　　[04:25.51]A small number of Chinese

　　[04:27.11]were allowed to immigrate each year,

　　[04:28.71]and Chinese could

　　[04:29.88]become American citizens.

　　[04:31.00]In 1965, in a general revision

　　[04:33.95]of American immigration laws,

　　[04:35.26]many more Chinese

　　[04:36.50]were permitted to settle here.

　　[04:37.96]From the start,

　　[04:39.15]the Chinese had lived apart

　　[04:40.63]in their own separate neighborhoods,

　　[04:41.97]which came to be known as

　　[04:42.93]"Chinatowns ".

　　[04:43.64]In each of them the residents

　　[04:45.47]organized an unofficial government

　　[04:47.27]to make rules

　　[04:48.07]for the community

　　[04:48.85]and to settle disputes.

　　[04:49.95]Many people couldn't find jobs

　　[04:52.41]on the outside,

　　[04:53.37]so they went into business

　　[04:54.67]for themselves,

　　[04:55.42]primarily to serve

　　[04:56.42]their own neighborhood.

　　[04:57.40]As for laundries and restaurants,

　　[04:59.12]some of them soon spread

　　[05:00.35]in the city,

　　[05:01.39]since such services continued to be

　　[05:04.01]in demand among non-Chinese too.

　　[05:05.88]To this day, certain Chinatowns,

　　[05:08.66]especially those

　　[05:09.55]of San Francisco and New York,

　　[05:10.95]are busy,

　　[05:11.59]thriving communities.

　　[05:12.52]They have become great attractions

　　[05:14.37]for tourists and for those

　　[05:15.65]who enjoy Chinese food.

　　[05:16.73]Most of today's Chinese Americans

　　[05:18.86]are the descendants

　　[05:20.00]of some of the early miners

　　[05:21.17]and railroad workers.

　　[05:22.22]Those immigrants

　　[05:23.62]had been uneducated farm laborers

　　[05:25.71]in the vicinity of Canton

　　[05:26.91]in Southeast China

　　[05:28.25]before they came to America.

　　[05:29.74]Even after having lived here

　　[05:32.19]for several generations,

　　[05:33.63]Chinese Americans

　　[05:34.88]retain many aspects

　　[05:36.32]of their ancient culture.

　　[05:37.59]For example,their family ties

　　[05:39.95]continue to be remarkably strong.

　　[05:41.84]Members of the family lend

　　[05:43.95]each other moral support

　　[05:44.97]and also practical help

　　[05:46.59]when necessary.

　　[05:47.67]From a very young age,

　　[05:49.55]children are taught

　　[05:50.72]with the old values and attitudes,

　　[05:52.47]including respect for their elders

　　[05:54.35]and a feeling of responsibility

　　[05:56.43]to the family.

　　[05:57.22]This helps to explain

　　[05:58.63]why there is so little juvenile

　　[06:00.26]delinquency among them.

　　[06:01.31]The high regard for education,

　　[06:03.57]and the willingness to work

　　[06:05.24]very hard to gain advancement,

　　[06:06.71]are two other noteworthy

　　[06:08.43]characteristics of them.

　　[06:09.44]These explain

　　[06:10.79]why so many descendants

　　[06:12.21]of uneducated laborers

　　[06:13.41]have succeeded in becoming doctors,

　　[06:15.20]lawyers and other professionals.

　　[06:17.32]By the way,

　　[06:18.43]many of the most outstanding

　　[06:20.38]Chinese American scholars,

　　[06:21.97]scientists, and artists

　　[06:23.44]are more recent arrivals.

　　[06:25.10]They come from China's

　　[06:26.43]former upper class

　　[06:27.72]and represent its high cultural traditions.

　　[06:30.00]Chinese Americans make up only

　　[06:32.34]a tiny fraction

　　[06:33.43]of the American population.

　　[06:34.59]They live chiefly in California,

　　[06:36.61]New York, and Hawaii.

　　[06:38.10]As American attitudes

　　[06:39.79]toward minorities

　　[06:41.09]and toward ethnic differences

　　[06:42.67]have changed in recent years,

　　[06:43.97]the long-hated Chinese

　　[06:45.49]have gained wide acceptance.

　　[06:47.72]Today,they are generally

　　[06:49.49]admired for

　　[06:50.56]many remarkable characteristics,

　　[06:51.89]and are often held up

　　[06:53.07]as an example worth following.

　　[06:54.47]And their numerous contributions to

　　[06:56.51]their adopted land

　　[06:57.84]are much appreciated.

　　[06:58.75]Now, we are coming to

　　[07:00.11]the end of our lecture.

　　[07:01.19]Today we've talked

　　[07:02.44]about what Chinese Americans

　　[07:03.84]have undergone

　　[07:04.81]since the California Gold Rush

　　[07:06.23]of 1849.

　　[07:07.39]Our focus for the next week

　　[07:09.32]will be on African Americans.

　　[07:11.20]Thank you for your attention.

　　[07:12.45]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[07:16.21]to check your work.

　　[10:15.80]This is the end

　　[10:17.13]of Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[10:18.87]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[10:21.43]In this section

　　[10:22.75]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[10:24.63]The interview

　　[10:25.88]will be divided into TWO parts.

　　[10:28.04]At the end of each part,

　　[10:29.98]five questions will be asked

　　[10:31.85]about what was said.

　　[10:33.15]Both the interview

　　[10:34.64]and the questions

　　[10:35.81]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[10:37.74]After each question

　　[10:39.85]there will be a ten-second pause.

　　[10:42.29]During the pause,

　　[10:43.97]you should read the four choices

　　[10:46.22]of A, B, C and D,

　　[10:48.63]and mark the best answer

　　[10:50.28]to each question

　　[10:51.77]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[10:53.26]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[10:55.44]to preview the questions.

　　[11:26.61]Now, listen to Part One

　　[11:28.79]of the interview.

　　[11:29.98]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[11:32.85]Part One of the interview.

　　[11:34.59]M: Finding comfort in food.

　　[11:37.28]Eating the right dishes

　　[11:38.67]can lift our spirits

　　[11:39.89]and swallow up stress.

　　[11:41.39]Well, here with more

　　[11:43.07]on how food affects our mood is

　　[11:45.44]Dr. Susan Kleiner,

　　[11:46.86]a nutritionist, and the author

　　[11:48.94]of The Good Mood Diet.

　　[11:50.93]Susan, good morning.

　　[11:52.15]W: Good morning, Kim Bold.

　　[11:54.29]M: So I'm very curious about this.

　　[11:56.66]Are there foods that actually

　　[11:58.65]have happy chemicals in them?

　　[12:00.40]W: Oh, absolutely. You know,

　　[12:03.27]how we feel,

　　[12:04.55]how we cope with stress,

　　[12:05.80]how we think,

　　[12:06.75]and how clearly we think

　　[12:08.87]are all directly

　　[12:10.61]affected by the food that we eat.

　　[12:12.91]M: OK. We actually went out

　　[12:16.04]and asked people what food they ate

　　[12:17.73]in order to make themselves happy.

　　[12:19.51]And they said

　　[12:20.50]that some kinds of food do

　　[12:22.11]make them happy,

　　[12:22.99]such as chocolate, pizza,

　　[12:25.16]Thai food and etc.

　　[12:26.91]As for me, pizza would be

　　[12:29.30]my happy food.

　　[12:30.26]But those aren't the foods

　　[12:31.67]that actually make you happy.

　　[12:32.82]Right?

　　[12:33.57]W: Well, it could be.

　　[12:35.18]You know, all of those are part of it.

　　[12:38.66]But there are foods

　　[12:39.79]that really directly affect our brain

　　[12:42.48]with certain chemicals.

　　[12:44.01]Fish is really a big happy food.

　　[12:47.47]It's got protein in brain,

　　[12:50.01]and it is free of fat

　　[12:52.05]and full of vitamin D.

　　[12:53.98]All of those help raise

　　[12:55.90]our neural chemistry and

　　[12:57.55]that makes us feel happy.

　　[12:58.95]Potatoes, cereals and great carps

　　[13:01.72]actually get protein into the brain.

　　[13:03.98]Fruits and vegetables,

　　[13:05.80]milk and dairy products,

　　[13:07.39]all are great for raising mood.

　　[13:09.76]And crunchy foods,

　　[13:11.22]like popcorn,

　　[13:12.17]are fabulous for making us

　　[13:13.69]feel happy.

　　[13:14.36]M: why is it so?

　　[13:15.90]W: The actual chewing mechanism

　　[13:17.96]raises neurotransmitter levels

　　[13:20.41]in the brain.

　　[13:21.25]So combining all these together

　　[13:23.52]creates wonderful combinations.

　　[13:25.97]For instance,

　　[13:26.98]potatoes with chili on top even.

　　[13:29.17]Those are great combinations.

　　[13:31.22]M: OK. Then you got

　　[13:33.25]a very happy dinner, right?

　　[13:34.90]W: Yes.

　　[13:35.91]This is the end of Part One

　　[13:38.54]of the interview.

　　[13:40.11]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[13:44.24]what you have just heard.

　　[13:44.65]1. According to the woman,

　　[13:46.90]what can be directly affected

　　[13:49.12]by the foods we eat?

　　[14:00.32]2. What's Kim's happy food?

　　[14:12.28]3. Which of the following is

　　[14:16.59]INCORRECT about fish?

　　[14:27.21]4. Which of the following foods

　　[14:31.20]can make people happy?

　　[14:42.40]5. Why can popcorn

　　[14:45.02]make us feel happy?

　　[14:56.26]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[14:57.82]of the interview.

　　[14:58.72]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[15:02.08]Part Two of the interview.

　　[15:03.82]M: OK. Let's talk

　　[15:05.82]about stressed-out food or foods

　　[15:08.07]that you do tend to eat

　　[15:09.47]when you're stressed.

　　[15:10.36]People interviewed said

　　[15:11.80]that they might prefer anything salty,

　　[15:13.86]or a piece of chocolate,

　　[15:15.04]or even some kind of drinks.

　　[15:16.81]Well, as far as you are concerned,

　　[15:18.88]what are the real stress busters?

　　[15:21.00]W: Well. Healthy fats,

　　[15:23.20]believe it or not,

　　[15:24.34]are great for coping with stress,

　　[15:26.34]such as nuts, seeds, olives,

　　[15:29.33]olive oil, etc.

　　[15:31.16]M: Yes.

　　[15:32.19]W: Peanuts, peanut butter

　　[15:33.95]and then again dairy foods

　　[15:36.24]are great stress-busters.

　　[15:37.77]They help decrease anxiety

　　[15:39.53]and anger.

　　[15:40.66]And so again,

　　[15:41.78]combinations get protein

　　[15:43.61]and vitamin B6.

　　[15:45.65]So lean beef and turkey

　　[15:47.59]are good choices.

　　[15:48.79]Making yourself a turkey sandwich

　　[15:51.06]on the whole-grain bread

　　[15:52.61]seems a great idea.

　　[15:54.25]M: OK, our final mood here

　　[15:56.61]is energetic.

　　[15:57.65]How to be energetic? People

　　[16:00.12]who we interviewed also showed

　　[16:01.72]their preference to something

　　[16:03.03]with sugar,

　　[16:03.72]as candy bars or a protein shake.

　　[16:06.10]OK, now I mean we all do it.

　　[16:08.49]Sugar, caffeine, you know.

　　[16:10.04]W: Right.

　　[16:10.83]M: Are any of those unharmful?

　　[16:12.86]W: Well.

　　[16:13.70]There are some good ones there.

　　[16:15.61]The liquid is really critical.

　　[16:17.52]So water of course is very good.

　　[16:20.17]M: Keeping yourself hydrated.

　　[16:21.91]W: Keeping yourself well hydrated.

　　[16:24.11]There's nothing more important

　　[16:25.80]for all of your moods than

　　[16:27.49]to keep yourself

　　[16:28.82]drinking plenty of water.

　　[16:29.78]But there are other things,

　　[16:31.11]such as eggs and soy.

　　[16:33.06]Eggs and soy are fast foods,

　　[16:35.31]so they actually create channels

　　[16:37.84]to allow nutrients into the brain

　　[16:39.53]and poisonous substances out.

　　[16:42.24]It's so important to have them

　　[16:43.79]in your diet every day.

　　[16:45.17]And of course,

　　[16:46.31]everyone loves chocolate.

　　[16:48.06]But we can also have coffee, tea,

　　[16:50.71]a little bit of caffeine.

　　[16:52.30]They are stimulating drinks.

　　[16:54.67]M: So it's a pick-me-up

　　[16:56.51]in the morning.

　　[16:57.30]It's great before exercise.

　　[16:58.60]You don't want too much,

　　[17:00.04]because it can make you feel lousy

　　[17:01.65]rather than better.

　　[17:02.48]W: Or too late in the day.

　　[17:04.13]M: Right! An interesting stuff,
