Green Mountain

Have you ever climbed Green Mountain? I’ve climbed it several times,
but the best time was with the Garcias in 2009. Mr. Garcia and his son
didn’t have a very healthy lifestyle at home. They ate a lot of junk food
and didn’t exercise a lot. But they only took challenging vacations. They
were bored with art museums and they thought beach resorts were
disappointing. They loved bungee jumping in New Zealand, scuba diving
in the Atlantic Ocean, or whitewater rafting in Colorado.

We climbed Green Mountain in one day, and we didn’t stop once. When
we reached the top, I took photos and Mr. Garcia sang his favorite song.
His son tried to make him stop, but Mr. Garcia just sang louder—it was
quite funny. On the way down, Mr. Garcia told us, “Going down is often
more dangerous than going up. We have to be careful of tripping over
small rocks or tree branches.”

We got back to our campground just before it started to rain. We were all
tired and hungry.

“I know we shouldn’t eat junk food,” Mr. Garcia said. “But I think we
should order a pizza. What do you think?”

“I think pizza is a great idea!” said Mr. Garcia’s son.

“So do I,” Mrs. Garcia said. “We’ve had a long day.”

The pizza was the most delicious pizza I have ever eaten. It was the
perfect way to end an amazing day.

41. What activity is the writer describing?

A) bungee jumping
B) scuba diving
C) climbing a mountain

42. What activity do Mr. Garcia and his son dislike?

A) eating cold pizza
B) looking at art in a museum
C) singing songs
