阅读下面一篇短文,按照要求回答短文后面的问题:

  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?

  We had the opportunity to come to London again this year.I was coming for a   1  , and Jenny was coming to enjoy some sightseeing.My conference was during the week, so we had the weekend   2  .We decided this year to rent a car and   3   out of London.This was probably one of our best   4   yet, inspired in no small part by Jenny’s cousin Rebecca, who recently   5   to the United States after spending almost a year in the UK.

  On Saturday, we set out as soon as we could hire the car   6   the south of Wales.We were heading towards Raglan Castle and Tintern Abbey.Jenny and I studied the   7   we were headed for.We fully planned to use the main motorways only to   8   time, and to get onto the more local roads   9   we could spend some time looking at the villages and towns along the way.

  We decided to head   10   for Tintern Abbey.We got a little lost when trying to find one of the more local roads.We   11   heading south a little more west than we had   12  .Following the map, Jenny identified a different   13   that would take us to the abbey.We   14   there around 15∶30.It was a spectacular view and we were there until closing time at 17∶00.

  At that   15  , we realized that we had not   16   anything all day.We were having too much of a good time, and had   17   about food.Earlier in the day, when we were buying the map, we bought a diet coke to drink in the car.That’s   18   we had had all day.Realizing this, and that we were getting a bit   19  , we stopped for food.Then we started our journey   20   to London and finally returned safely to our hotel.

  Successful people   2   how their life should be and set lots of goals.By setting goals you are   3   your life.It’s like having a   4   to show you where you want to go.Think of it this way.There are   5   drivers.One has a destination(目的地)in mind(her goal)which can be found on a map.She can drive straight there without any   6   time or wrong turns.The other driver has no goal or destination or map.She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,   7   she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just   8   gas.Which driver do you want to be?

  Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.They decide what they want in life and then get there by making   9   and setting goals.  10   people just let life happen by accident.Goals aren’t difficult to set——and they aren’t difficult to reach.It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are.You are the one who must   11   what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

  Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more   12   to achieve it.Written goals can be   13   regularly, and have more power.Like a contract(合同)with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget.Also   14   you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously   15   situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

Dear Jose ,

  You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States.It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following“dos”and“don'ts”helpful.

  As a   1   , it isn't easy to find anyone to   2   in a big city.However, here are some suggestions.First get or borrow   3   !Walk him several times a day!Americans love dogs and usually stop   4   to anyone with a dog.Then, try to eat in a cafeteria(食堂).People generally   5   the same tables and will sometimes talk to you   6   they see that you are a(an)  7  .Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)!It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people   8   there.They often pass the   9   talking to the other customers.  10   ask for information from a woman, if you are a   11  ; and from a man, if you are a woman!It seems to get   12   results for a reason I can't understand.Learn the   13   “Please”, “Thank you”, and“You're welcome”before you come and use them all the time!They usually work like magic(魔术).

  There are some things you shouldn't.Don't tell the truth when people   14   “How are you?”They only   15   the answer to be“Fine”.Never ask people their   16   -especially women!Everyone wants to be young.Don't tell heavy people they are   17  .Tell them they are losing   18  .Everyone here wants to be   19  .Don't be late for appointment!When someone says six o'clock,   20   be there by six.Americans respect time and expect everyone to be“on time”.

  Above all, don't worry!Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money and you will get along.I hope I have been of some help to you.
