In 1970, 18 percent of the citys population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had _41_ to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born children of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a(n) _42_ of the citys population.Who are these New Yorkers? Why do they come here? Where are they from? (OK, time to drop the “they. Im one of them.) The last question at least is easy to answer: we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 _43_ nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and the former Soviet Union. And when we immigrants got here we _44_ up our sleeves. “If youre not ready to work when you get to New York, says a friend of mine, “youd better hit the road.The mayor of New York once said, “Immigration has _45_ the unique character and driven the economic engine of New York City, and will continue like that. He believes that immigrants are at the _46_ of what makes New York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of “unity that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century since 1970, the United States _47_ about 12.5 million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations. Since these immigrants are _48_ and hard working, they will help America to make a(n) _49_ start in the next century. III.

Ukrainian Fyodor Nesterchuk from the town of Kamen-Kashirsky said the last time he managed to sleep was more than two decades ago. "I can't remember the exact date and I don't know why it started, but all of a sudden I found it more and more difficult to nod off until eventually I was awake the entire night. I used to read boring scientific magazines in the hope that they would send me to sleep. But as soon as I felt my eyes getting closed and put the magazine down, I would find myself wide awake again. I thought it would just be a period of time but it has gone on for over two decades now and I've simply had to get used to it. Now when everyone else sleeps I get stuck into a good book," said Nesterchuk. All attempts by doctors to put him to sleep have failed. Local doctor Fyodor Koshel who has examined Nesterchuk extensively and has been unable to make him fall asleep, said he has no idea of the cause of the insomnia and added medically there is nothing wrong with him. "We have no idea why he can't sleep, maybe it's the result of a past illness. But in terms of medical science, he's not in any pain and so there isn't anything actually wrong with him," said Dr Koshel. 65. What is special about Nesterchuk? A. He hasnt slept for more than two decades and is quite weak now. B. Only doctors can make him sleep with the help of medicines. C. He hasnt slept for over 20 years but he is still healthy. D.
