A New Citizenship Test{{/B}}
1 ?Last week, a sample of
the new US citizenship (公民身份) exam was released by the US Citizenship and
Immigration Services (US-CIS). It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year
to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US
flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are 13 stripes.
Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to
explain why there are three.
2 ?"The goal is to make it more
meaningful," explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US-CIS. Immigrants who
pass it are expected to have a better "understanding and respect" for US civic
(公民的) values, Gonzalez says.
3 ?The US isn’t the only country dealing
with citizenship tests that aim to get a "shared commitment" from immigrants for
their adopted country’s "values". In recent years, in addition to the usual
requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European
countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship
test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be
immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude
(裸体的) women bathing at beaches and gay (同性恋的) men kissing in public. The aim was
to ensure that "newcomers will be comfortable with the country’s liberal social
mores (风俗)".
4 ?Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for
decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local
citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration
has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim
ghettoes (少数民族聚居区 ) in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by
religious extremists.
5 ?Officials believe that a person’s attachment to
a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some
critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate (同化)
themselves. "Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right
way to lessen the accusations in that fight?" says Ali Noorani , of the
Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (难民辩护联盟).
A. Preparation for taking a citizenship test
B. Citizenship tests in European countries
C. Importance of promoting integration
D. Necessity to knnow the branches of government
E. Different views on the new citizenship test
F. Goal of the new citizenship test
Some people fear that changes in the citizenship test will do little _____.
