六.IN ORDER TO

現在我們學習用 in order to, i-n o-r-d-e-r t-o, in order to. 這個詞組可以用來表示 "為了要".比方有兩句話: "他們移居到新大陸."They migrated to the New World.

"他們要有新生活." They wanted to have a new life. 這兩句話用 in order to 連 接起來就變成:They migrated to the New World in order to have a new life. 現在 我們作一組練習, 由老師念兩句話, 學生就用 in order to 把兩句話變為一句.

八.聽短文回答問題

首先老師給你念一篇文章介紹到美國定居的各國移民, 并且談到美國為 什么 是個大熔爐.

請你注意聽.

America is a country of immigrants. Nearly the entire population can trace its origins to someplace outside of the U.S. The group of people with the longest period of residence in North America are American Indians. It is believed that they migrated from Asia several thousand years ago. The next people to come to what is now the U.S. were Europeans.

They came as colonists between 350 and 250 years ago. Many of these colonists came from England and settled along the Atlantic coast. Other colonists came from Spain and settled in Florida and in the southwestern part of the country. When the colonists had established themselves, large numbers of Africans were forced to come to North America as slaves.

Through the 19th century, many immigrants came to the U.S. The earlier ones were largely from Ireland, Germany and other parts of western Europe. Later, many immigrants came from northern and southern Europe and from Asia. In this century many Eastern Europeans have come to the U.S. and more recently thousands of people from Southeast Asia and the Caribbean area have come to live in the U.S.

These people have come to the U.S. for many reasons. Some came in order to make better lives for themselves in a new country. Others came so that they could worship their religions more freely. Many immigrants left their homelands because of war, political unrest or bad economic and living conditions.

Although most immigrants chose to come to the U. S. themselves, they often suffered hardships getting to the country. The conditions in which many people lived when they first arrived were very difficult. However, most immigrants managed to establish themselves and have good lives in the U.S. The U.S. today is called the melting pot since people who came from different countries have all become Americans.
