My husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that it’s Christmas again. They can’t see that we live in a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren’t much good. But Johnny and children can’t see this. 71 I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we’ve saved isn’t nearly enough.
The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. 72 The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy (糖果) while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn’t eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why? Is it only because they have money? 73
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn’t rich, but she knows things. 74 Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. 75
I’d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.
There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn’t there?
I myself saved some money .
They look down upon the poor.
What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt.
She understands people.

閱讀下面一篇短文，按照要求回答短文后面的問題：
My husband is on the front lines in Iraq. Not as a soldier, but as a reporter. When I told my friend about his latest task, each had the same reaction, “Did you tell him no?”
They remind me, as if I'd somehow forgotten, that he has left behind our three young children for weeks, perhaps months. He will be risking his life, they say, only for some news.
Is it worth it?
I understand the pity they feel for me because of the burden suddenly heaped on my shoulders.
My 5－year－old daughter designed a schedule to determine which of the children would keep me company in my empty bed at night. Whether it was her turn or not, I can usually wake to find her huddled against me. My 7－year－old son has many questions about the war and weapons. Though I've never allowed my children to watch the evening news, National Public Radio has been my constant companion, and he was interested in any mention of the war, and he questions me about “when will dad go home”. Most troubling of all, my 9－year－old daughter has said nothing. She has asked no questions and she merely glances at the photo of her father displayed on the page next to his article each morning. And all three are probably the only kids at their school who can find Iraq on a map.
In the end, when friends ask, “Is it worth it?” I can answer yes. He, like other reporters from other countries, is presenting us with the truth.
So when my friends ask, I tell them it wasn't a matter of letting him go or making him stay. My husband just does what his career asks him to do.
Answer the following questions:
1．Where is the author's husband?
________________________________
2．What do the author's friends think of her husband going to Iraq?
________________________________
3．Why does the author think her 9－year－old daughter is most troubling of all?
________________________________
4．What does the author think of her husband going to Iraq?

My heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet.
“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I’d flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.
The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who’s on our wanted list. We’re going to have to check you out with Washington.”
“How long will it take?”
“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We’ll call you when we’re ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadn’t decided anything about me.
“Isn’t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can’t you just look me up?”
“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.
After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”
“I’m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.
“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”
I put my phone away.
My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.
I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I’m an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”
After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You’re free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.
“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you aren’t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”
“Will they respond?” I asked.
“I don’t know—I don’t know of anyone who’s ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”
“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”
He smiled the empty smile we’d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”
After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I’ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn’t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone’s personal and professional identity—just like the town you’re born in and the place where you’re raised.
Like my father, I’ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.
1.The author was held at the airport because ______.
A. she and her husband returned from Jamaica
B. her name was similar to a terrorist’s
C. she had been held in Montreal
D. she had spoken at a book event
2.She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.
A. her identity hadn’t been confirmed yet
B. she had been held for only one hour and a half
C. there were other families in the waiting room
D. she couldn’t use her own cell phone
3.We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience from happening again.
A. write to the agency?????????? B. change her name??
C. avoid traveling abroad??????? D. do nothing
4.Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.
A. hatred???????????????????? B. discrimination?????
C. tolerance?????????????????? D. diversity
5.The author sounds ______ in the last paragraph.
A. impatient?? B. bitter???????? C. worried??????????? D. ironic (具有諷刺意味的)
