Bonjour, Voici mon exercice à faire: Faire un petit résumé par document: A) Those who failed to get past both doctors had to undergo a more thorough medical exam. The others moved on to the registration clerk, who questioned them with the aid of an interpreter. What is your name? Your nationality ? Your occupation?Can you read and write? Have you ever been in prison? How much money do you have with you? Where are you doing? Some immigrants were so flustered that they could not answer. They were allowed to sit and rest and try again. About one migrants out of every five or six was detained for additional examinations or questionning. B)The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They were on their way to America. The great majority of immigrants landed in New York City, at América's busiest port. They never forgot their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. C)Filling into an enormous inspection hall, the immigrants formes long lines separated by iron raillings. Now the examinations began. First the immigrants were examinated by two doctors of the United States Health Service. One doctor looked for physical and mental abnormalities. When a case aroused suspicion, the immigrants received a chalk mark on the right shoulder for further inspection : L for lameness, H for heart, X for mental defects and si on. D)Immigrants usually crosses the Atlantic as streerage passengers. Because streerage conditions were crowded and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as possible up on deck. E)The second doctor watched for contagious diseases. He looked especially for infections of the scalp and at the eyelids for symptoms of trachoma, a blinding disease. Since trachoma caused more than half of all médical detentions, this doctor was greatly feared. Hé stood directly in the immigrant's path. With a Swift moferryboats would grab the immigrant's eyelids, pull it up, and peer beneath it. If all as well, the immigrant was passes on. F)When their ship docked at a Hudson River pier, the immigrants had numbered identity tags pinned to their clothing. Then they were herded onto spécial ferryboats that carried them to Ellis Island. Officials hurried them along, shouting "Quick! Run! Hurry!" in half a dozen languages.
