I am proud to be a member of two cultures. Even though I am only ten years old, I have lived in two

countries and in two cultures. I have lived in both Mexico and the United States.

I was born in the state of Michoacán. I was born in a small town called Quinceo. Life there was simple

and peaceful. There was a small market where we would go on Sundays. There was a corral where we

would go and watch rodeos. After school, my friends and I would go for a swim in a creek. My mom did

not work; she stayed at home taking care of our family. Life in Quinceo was nice, but money was

sometimes not enough to support us.

In 1996, the day came when my dad decided to bring us to the United States. Leaving my town was

hard, but it was important that my family stay together. When I left Mexico, I had a lot of special friends

and nice teachers.

When I first came to the United States, I started at a new school in Chicago. I found care and company

at the school, among Hispanic people, my friends, and my teacher. She helped me all the time.

My education now is different from the one in Mexico. Here, I am studying in two languages. I feel

very happy because I am able to communicate in two languages. In my case, speaking Spanish is an

indication of my Mexican heritage. Speaking English is a symbol of my triumph and the struggles that I

have as an immigrant in this country. Now that I have been here three years, I am proud to offer my help

and support to people who need it.

I urge those who come from Mexico and other countries to learn English and to continue speaking

their native language, too. It will help them reach out to others.

24. What does the writer think of Mexico?

A. She doesn’t like it because it’s poor.

B. She was too young to remember it.

C. She loves the country and is proud of it.

D. She wants to get rid of it so she left.

25. Why did the family move to the US?

A. Because they were in need of more money.

B. Because the mother found no peace in Quinceo.

C. Because they wanted to experience a new culture.

D. Because the author could have new friends.

D. persuade immigrants not to drop their mother tongue

In our youth-obsessed culture, one would assume that your self-esteem peaks in your 20s—but that’s

not the case. Researchers from the University of Bern set out to determine when the average person’s

self-esteem is the highest, and the good news is that your peak comes decades later.

Researchers found that self-esteem increases throughout one’s lifetime, with a slight plateau during

those awkward teen years. Our self-esteem levels then start rising again and don’t peak until well into

midlife. The highest point for self-esteem level happened at age 60 when they can retire and stayed there

until a slight decline in one’s 70s and 80s.

This news that our self-esteem will continue to rise or stay steady during the majority of our lives is

exciting. We often hear of increased stress in the decades of midlife, but there are upsides too. “Midlife is,

for many adults, a time of high stability in relationships and work. Moreover, most people further invest in

their roles, which might promote their self-esteem,” researcher Dr. Orth told the journalist. “For example,

people take on managerial roles at work, maintain a satisfying relationship with their spouse or partner, and

help their children become responsible and independent.”

As we age and our roles tend to change, it’s natural for self-esteem to take a small hit. “Old age

frequently involves loss of social roles as a result of retirement, the empty nest, and, possibly, widowhood.

In addition, aging often leads to negative changes in other possible sources of self-esteem, such as

socioeconomic status and health.” Dr. Orth said. However, it’s important to remember that it’s only a slight

decrease. Dr. Orth believes that most people maintain a high self-esteem level even into their 90s and

beyond.

28. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “peak”?

A. Minimum. B. Maximum. C. Average. D. Height.

29. Who is more likely to have the highest self-esteem level?

A. A newly-retired person. B. A teenage boy.

C. A person in his/her 80s. D. A middle-aged person.

30. What does Dr. Orth think of the decrease in self-esteem for the old people?

A. It is destructive. B. It is unnatural.

C. It is important. D. It is acceptable.

31. Where is the text most likely from?

A. A travel guide. B. A science report.

C. A novel. D. A business magazine.
