Back, but Not HomeI was born in Cuba but came to the United States with my parents when I was almost five years old. We left behind grandparents, aunts and uncles. I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood in New York. All my friends were American. Outside of my family, I do not know many Cubans. I often feel uneasy visiting relatives in Miami because it is such a different world. The way of life in the Cuban communities of Miami seems very strange to me. And I am criticized for being too “Americanized.” Yet, although I am now an American citizen, whenever anyone asks me my nationality, I have always and firmly replied, “Cuban …”When I try to review my life during the past 16 years, I almost feel as if I’ve walked into a theater right in the middle of a movie. And I’m afraid I won’t fully understand or enjoy the rest of the movie unless I can see and understand the beginning. And for me, the beginning is Cuba.

Most of my memories are good ones.But I want to keep and renew my cultural tradition. I want to keep “a Cuban” within me alive.

Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Jerry was a unique restaurant manager. He was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Jerry once said to me, "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the useless things, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life". Later I quit working for Jerry and started my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Recently, I heard that Jerry was shot in his restaurant by three robbers and was severely wounded. He was immediately rushed to the local hospital. After an 18-hour medical operation and weeks of intensive care, Jerry eventually survived. When we met, I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,"Jerry replied."Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered I had two choices: to live, or to die. I chose to live. When they wheeled me into the emergency room(急诊室) and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do then?" I asked. "Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me, "said Jerry. " She asked if I was allergic(过敏的) to anything.‘Yes,'Isid. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and cried out,‘Bullets (子弹)!’While they were laughing, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead. '" Jerry lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his healthy attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. 31. We learn from the first paragraph that .
