A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand, and she hopped over. “Are you Hispanic?” she asked. “No, I’m Puerto Rican.” “Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That’s what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and shoved the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”
“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you’re Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”
“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”
I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic?”
“Well, yeah. No . . . I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”
“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let’s say, and you’re born here, but you don’t speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”
“I guess so,” she finally said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. But I didn’t know. I’d always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn’t occurred to me that in New York I’d be someone else.
Later, I asked. “Are we Hispanics, Mami?” “Yes, because we speak Spanish.” “But a girl said you don’t have to speak the language to be Hispanic.” “What girl? Where did you meet a girl?” “Outside. She lives in the next building.” “Who said you could go out to the sidewalk? This isn"t Puerto Rico. Something could happen to you.”
I listened to Mami’s lecture with depressed eyes and the necessary respect. But inside, I quaked. Two days in New York, and I’d already become someone else. It wasn’t hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead.

The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.
There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.
The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure.
CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.
To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment. To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs.The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.
The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
小题1:Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?
A.Apple founder Steve Jobs himself. |
B.the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers. |
C.Steve Jobs" friends. |
D.Steve Jobs’ daughter. |
A.A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs. |
B.Steve Jobs" plan. |
C.Steve Jobs" time capsule is uncovered. |
D.The tube by Steve Jobs. |
A.58 years old . |
B.20 years old. |
C.30 years old. |
D.48 years old. |
He asked me to sit down while he was looking for something between the shelves. A few moments , he returned with a couple of old books. He then sat down, , “There are two things that I want to teach you Number one is to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can you. As a matter of fact, I am one of the men in the world and have all the things that money can buy. a year ago, my wife died, and since then l have been thinking about my life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet in life, one of which was it would be like to live like a on the streets. I promised to do that for one year. For the past year, I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, don"t ever judge a by its cover, for a cover can fool you “
“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy. For there is one thing that people can"t take away from you, and that is your .” At that moment, he put my right hand in his and put them upon the books he had from the shelves. They were the writings of Plato(柏拉图) and Aristotle(亚里斯多德)—great classics from ancient times.

My mom did not . I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt to think that I had said what I"d wanted to say all this time.

Because of the thing I had said to her earlier, there was something pinching (夹痛)at me in the corner of my . Even so, I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye.
