About 60 million years ago, an area of land stretched out into the Indian Ocean. This area slowly drifted inland over tens of thousands of years and pushed its way upward into ridges and folds of rock. This marvelously rocky region became a mountain range we now call the Himalayas. The Himalayas are located on the continent of Asia. The highest mountain in the Himalayas, Mount Everest, climbs high into the sky. This natural wonder has become a popular destination for climbers and tourists seeking adventure and spectacular sights.

I work as a tour guide here at the mountain. Climbers sometimes hire me to guide them to the summit. I know all there is to know about Everest. First of all, it is the highest mountain on Earth. In 1979, the area surrounding Everest was designated as a natural world heritage site. It sits on the border between Nepal and Tibet, which is a region of China. In fact, the border runs right up over the peak of the mountain. The summit of Everest soars high above the clouds at an astonishing 29,029 feet. That's almost as high as airplanes fly! On the summit of Everest, climbers stand as close to the stars as they can with both feet still on Earth. I have stood on the breathtaking summit myself almost a dozen times. The feeling is unbelievable, so it is no wonder this towering mountain has attracted climbers for centuries.

Which detail from the text reveals why climbers find the peak of Mount Everest so breathtaking?

Read the excerpt about the Sicurella family from "Island of Hope, Island of Tears."

Pietro and Rosa Sicurella lived with their nine children in Adrano, Sicily prior to coming to the United States. Pietro and Rosa's oldest son, Giuseppe, immigrated in 1903 to study art. His brother Salvatore followed in 1908 and their siblings Antonio, Maria Anna, and Angelina joined them in 1913. When Giuseppe died in 1916, the Sicurella siblings living in New York decided not to return to Sicily--the rest of the family joined them after World War I. Giuseppe D'Amico, Concetta Sicurella's husband, immigrated with his wife's family, leaving his own family behind in Sicily.

The Sicurella family typified the kinds of professions many Italian immigrants undertook once they came to America in the early 1900s. As Concetta Sicurella's daughter, Teresa (the donor of the Sicurella artifacts), recalls: "Living in Manhattan in the early 1920s had some advantages. The street may not have been paved in gold, but jobs were readily available to immigrants who had skills . . . "
