1. Read the following narrative and choose the reasons for hiring Chinese laborers.(40%)
The Central Pacific Railroad— A Chinese Achievement
One of the most important areas of Chinese industrial employment [in the U.S.] was railroad construction. In February of 1865, fifty Chinese workers were hired by the Central Pacific Railroad to help lay the tracks for the transcontinental line leading east from Sacramento; shortly afterward fifty more Chinese were hired. The new laborers were praised by company president Leland Stanford as “quiet, peaceable, industrious, economical—ready and apt to learn all the different kinds of work” required in railroad building. “ They prove nearly equal to white men in the amount of labor they perform, and are much more reliable,” the company superintendent Charles Crocker reported. “No danger of strikes among them. We are training them to all kinds of labor: blasting rock, driving horses, and handling pick ad shovel.” The white workers demanded that the company stop hiring Chinese laborers, and Crocker retorted: “ We can’t get enough white labor to build this railroad, and build it we must, so we’re forced to hire them. If you can’t get along with them, we have only one alternative. We’ll let you go and hire nobody but them.” Within two years, 12000 Chinese were employed by the Central Pacific Railroad, representing 90 percent of the entire work force. The savings derived from the employment of Chinese rather than white workers was enormous. The company paid the Chinese workers thirty-one dollars a month; had it used white workers it would have had to pay them the same wages plus board and lodging, which would have increased labor costs by one third.
The construction of the Central Pacific Railroad line was a Chinese achievement. Not only they perform the physical labor required to clear trees and lay tracks; they also provided important technical labor by operating power drills and handling explosives for boring tunnels through the Donner Summit. In his account of the summit’s penetration, superintendent Crocker stated: “We had a shaft down in the center. We were cutting both ways from the bottom of that shaft… (We) got some Cornish miners [from Virginia City] and paid them extra wages. We put them into one side of the shaft… and we had Chinamen on the other side. We measured the work every Sunday morning; and the Chinamen without fail, always out-measured the Cornish miners…The Chinese are skilled in using the hammer and drill; and they proved themselves equal to the best Cornish miners in that work.”
Q：Why did the Central Pacific Railroad choose to hire Chinese laborers?
A. The Chinese laborers were “quiet”, “peaceable”, “industrious”, and “economical.”
B. The Central Pacific Railroad hired enough white laborers to build the railroad.
C. Besides, Crocker say “no danger of strikes among Chinese laborers.”
D. The white workers could get along with Chinese laborers.
E. The Chinese laborers did all kinds of labor—blasting rock, driving horses, and handling pick and shovel, etc.
F. Though Charles Crocker said that the Chinese laborers proved “nearly equal” to white men, the example he cited actually proved that the Chinese were better workers as they “always out-measured” the white Cornish miners.
G. Furthermore, Chinese workers were paid thirty-one dollars a month, cutting down labor costs by one third;
