Have you ever seen a "fire rainbow" It is one of the rarest
natural wonders. It looks like a rainbow on fire. In fact, it is
not really a rainbow. Scientists call it "circumhorizontal arc". It
happens when the sun is high in the sky and sunlight passes through
ice crystals in high clouds. The ice crystals act like a prism,
breaking the sunlight into different colors.
This wonder is very rare because it needs perfect conditions: the
sun must be at least 58 degrees above the horizon, and there must
be special high clouds with flat ice crystals. The best time to see
it is during summer in mid-latitude areas. The United States and
some parts of Europe are good places to watch.
When you see a fire rainbow, you will be amazed by its beauty. It
reminds us how wonderful nature is. So next time when you look up
at the sky, be patient – you might be lucky enough to see this
magic.

A. The sun must be low in the sky.
B. It must be raining.
C. The sun must be high in the sky (at least 58°).
D. It must be winter.

Growing up is a journey full of changes. When I was a child, I was
shy and afraid of speaking in public. I would hide behind my mother
when meeting strangers. But as I grew older, I realized that life

is about facing challenges.

nervous. My voice trembled. But my teacher encouraged me to
practice more. She said, "Every expert was once a beginner." I took
her advice and practiced every day. Little by little, I became more
confident. Last year, I won the first prize in the school speech
contest. That moment made me believe that growth comes from
stepping out of your comfort zone.
Now I’m in Grade 8. I still have many difficulties, but I am no
longer afraid. I know that every failure is a step toward success.
Growing up is not always easy, but it is definitely worth it.

beginner." C. "Don't be afraid of failure." D. "You are the

best."
