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 on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren't much good. But Johnny and children can't see this. What a pity it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we've saved isn't nearly enough.
The Me Garitys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The Me Garity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy 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? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn't there?
Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn't rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. I'd like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.

(1) 主旨大意题。文章第一段说：她家所住的房子肮脏、街道肮脏，作者决定他的孩子一定要远离这一切，由此可推知答案为B。 (2) 推理判断题。由第二段描述，Mc Garity一个人在很多小孩面前独自吃糖，吃不完时，把剩余的糖扔进下水道，可见她很自私，很残酷。 (3) 推理判断题。由第二段末尾的反问句和第三段的例子可知，作者认为在世界上有比钱更使人感到幸福的东西，故C项正确。 (4) 推理判断题。选项A、B、C都是作者对钱的看法，而选项D只是作者对自己经济状况的客观描述，故选D。 |
