The Climb to the Top

My life as a kid was a sweet life. I lived in a beautiful house with the beautiful surroundings in Puerto Rico. There was one particular thing I loved and it was a huge tree that was in my backyard. As a child, I used to climb the tree every day. Every time I went, I climbed higher and higher, reaching new branches, obstacles, and pathways on my way up. One day, I reached the top and I could see my island. I felt I was on top of the world, and nothing could stop me. Then, there was the day that seemed like the end of my life. This specific day changed my life forever.

It was a nice summer day. After breakfast, my family headed to the park to see my baseball game. In the evening we went to a carnival (嘉年华) in my town. My grandma was selling blankets under a tent. Suddenly, the mood of the day changed when my parents took me to my grandma's tent. Still to this day, I remember the exact words my dad said to me, “Son, how would you like to move to the United States?” I couldn't believe what he said. I then ran away from him as the tears rolled down my cheeks. My perfect life was being taken away from me.

Two weeks later, we arrived at New York in late July, and my aunt and uncle drove us to Springfield，Massachusetts where we lived for seven years. Once we got there, I met my mom's family for the first time. September came and school started. I was afraid to go to a new school and make new friends. Most kids ignored me and some tried to talk to me, but I couldn't understand them or say anything. My first year in the United States was not fun or easy but I worked hard and got through it.

Now that I'm grown, I look back on the journey that I've been through: living in a new place with no friends, new language, and new schools. Despite all those problems, I still remembered that special tree. That tree taught me to never give up and reach higher. I have beaten every difficulty that I have met in life and I just kept moving forward. My perfect life was never taken away from me; it has just started.

1.When the author was a kid, he _________.

A. thought his life was very pitiful

B. expected to live in a beautiful house

C. dreamed of traveling around the world

D. enjoyed the pleasure of climbing a tree

2.Why does the author mention the baseball game and carnival in the passage?

A. To compare life with that in America.

B. To introduce his family tradition.

C. To show he didn't like studying.

D. To state his daily life routine.

3.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us about _________.

A. the family that he had met before

B. his new friends in Springfield, Massachusetts

C. the living conditions when he arrived in America

D. his difficult experiences during the first year in the US

4.The author has realized that to live a perfect life is _________.

A. to never give up　　 B. to always make new friends

C. to forget all problems　　 D. to remember sweet memories

Along the Ring of Fire

Off the coast of Alaska, the lava rises through cracks (裂缝) at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It flows like toothpaste pressed from a tube. Spreading and erupting, the earth slowly builds a new island.

Along the Pacific coast of South America, one part of the earth’s surface gradually moves toward another. Although difficult to believe, the rocky outer surface of Earth is not solid; rather, it is broken up into huge pieces called plates(板块). 1., the action can sometimes lead to volcanic activity.

These things take place thousands of miles apart, yet they are connected. Surrounding the Pacific Ocean is a circle of volcanoes that includes more than half of the world’s active volcanoes.2..

The Ring of Fire spreads from the west coast of South America northward to Alaska. It goes left at the Aleutian Islands and crosses the Pacific Ocean. Then it heads down the east coast of Asia toward New Zealand.

3.. In 1883 Krakatoa erupted four times. The third eruption was so loud that it could be clearly heard 3,000 miles away. Krakatoa threw a large dust cloud nearly 50 miles into the air. 4.. During four days in June, Pinatubo threw out more than 20 million tons of broken pieces into the air, destroying many homes.

Some volcanoes erupt more quietly, with lava flowing through the cracks in Earth’s surface. This type of volcano is found in Hawaii. 5..

A.This area is called the Ring of Fire

B.Although the plates are connected

C.As the plates move past one another

D.The Ring of Fire is also where most earthquakes happen

E.Major volcanic eruptions along the Ring of Fire make history

F.In 1991 Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted after 600 quiet years

G.Lava from a volcano tends to advance slowly but still causes great damage
