There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small， busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income， so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better， more educational town.

In the US， it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So， many parents will think about the quality (質(zhì)量，品質(zhì)) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.

In New Jersey， an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.

Edison is an old town， just like thousands of others in the United States. However， I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth， and the memories there can’t be moved at all.

1.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?

A. Because they were born there.

B. Because it was a better educational town.

C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.

D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.

2. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?

A. About 80. B. About 160.

C. About 220. D. About 300.

3. What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?

A. None of B. The whole of

C. A large number of D. A small number of

4.Why can’t the writer forget Edison?

A. Because he regards it as his hometown.

B. Because his parents got new jobs there.

C. Because there are many Asians there.

D. Because it is in the state of New Jersey.
