More than 215 million people now callAmerica “home”, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that American come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “Americans” is really not true. In fact, what exists inAmerica is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their own customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives — such as schools, businesses, and sports — but they keep many of their customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side” has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another. However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas, dresses, foods, and social customs in America. Everyone can find some part of his or her own familiar world in the United States, in churches,music,foods, national groups or newspapers. 1.More than 215million people callAmerica “home” because ______.
