Choose the best answer.

My daughter wanted to go to China for her wedding trip, but now she is afraid. ‘What if they think I’m one of

them?’ she asked me. What if they don’t let me come back to the United States?’

  ‘When you go to China,’ I told her, ‘you don’t even need to open your mouth. They already (1) aware / know

 / distinguish / identify you’re an outsider.’

  ‘What are you (2) speaking / saying / talking / chatting about?’ she asked. My daughter likes (3) to speak /

speak / to speaking / spoken back, and question what I (4) tell / say / declare / reply.

  ‘Aii-ya,’ I said. ‘They know, just (5)  looking / staring / surveying / watching  the way you walk, the way

(6) you’ll / you’d / you / you’re carry your face. They know you (7) are / do / could / should not belong.’

  My daughter did not (8) look / look like / look as if / look at pleased when I told her that (9) her / she’s

 / hers / she didn’t look Chinese. Maybe ten years (10) before / ago / previous / in advance, she would have

thought it was (11) bad / nice / good / ugly news. But now she wants (12) being / to be / be / have been 

Chinese, because it’s so fashionable. And (13) she / we / I / they know it’s too late. All those (14) years / time

 / periods / days I tried to teach her! She (15) listened / kept / used / followed my Chinese ways only until she

(16) studied / learnt / understood / taught how to walk out of the (17) entrance / door / access / way by

herself and go to school. (18) Only / Alone / Simply / Singly her skin and hair are Chinese; (19) interior / in /

inside / inner, she is all American-made. She (20) couldn’t / cannot / can / won’t even speak Chinese.

  It’s my fault (21) he / we / it / she is this way. I wanted my (22) sisters / children / relatives / parents to

have American circumstances and Chinese (23) nature / atmosphere / reputation / character. How could I

know these two (24) parts / things / items / objects do not mix? I taught her (25) how / how much / how’s

 / how do American circumstances work. If you are (26) created / invented / born / delivered poor here, it’s

no lasting shame; (27) a / some / this / the government gives you money. If the (28) sky / roof / house / floor 

crashes down on your head, no (29) need / should / one / needn’t to cry over this bad luck; (30) those / the /

all / these lawyers will make the owner repair it. In America, nobody says you have to keep the circumstances

you find yourself in.

  She learnt these things, but I couldn’t teach her about Chinese character. How to obey parents and listen to

your mother’s mind. How not to show your own thoughts, how to know your own worth. Why Chinese thinking

is best. She never learnt this.
