III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the fiftieth state of the United
States, with its area of 16,700 square kilometers. The first Hawaiians arrived from other Pacific islands sometimes around
100 AD. Then in 1788, Captain Cook visited Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then more
ships knew Hawaii and began stopping there for supplies.
In 1820, a small group of people from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian people about Christianity.
They started farms to grow sugar cane pineapples. Because there were not enough people to do all the farm work, farm
owners brought in Asians – Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Later, Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the US mainland and from other
Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with tradition from several countries. People from the various nation groups
have married each other, so today the groups are partly mixed.
Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino
holidays as well as holidays from the United States. Hawaii is known as the Aloha state. “Aloha” means hello, goodbye
and I love you in Hawaiian.
