34、y increased mobility is that the traditional definition (定义) of “foreigner” has passed its sell-by date. Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and culture in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner
35、in his own home town? What about a Beijinger who did her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked in mainstream (主流) society there for another 20 years while raising a family, who has no intention of returning to China?

36、n I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces you would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统). Today the same malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals
37、lots of Asian surnames. To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants
38、is an established pattern in American history. In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didnt speak or read the local languages well, were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles, often engaged in relatively third-class work, and certainly not the type of people you would want
39、 your sons or daughters to marry. But, nowadays, a foreigner down the street may have better SAT scores than you did, or higher degree from a better university. He might also be your sons or daughters next employer. The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the

Its about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.61.By mentioning a European and a Beijinger , the author tends to tell us_. A. Its

43、rding to the author? A. They didnt have good command of the local languages. B. Its hard for them to marry local people. C. They rarely got familiar with the local customs and lifestyles. D. Most of them didnt live at the bottom of the local society.64. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 has the
