问题     It’s Christmas again.  We live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren’t much good. You can’t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth (污秽) and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we’ve saved isn’t nearly enough.
    The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it.  The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a group 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 (阴沟).
    Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House (教育中心) isn’t rich, but she knows things, she understands people.  Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everyboby else here looks away because they’rs ashamed of their lives.  I’d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.  
Which of the following is TRUE?

选项 A、The writer’s family is the poorest one on that street.
B、Watching the rich girl eating cookies, those hungry children cried.
C、The writer wants to move out of that district.
D、The writer hopes that her children will become teachers.

答案C

解析 从全文来看,可排除A、B、D,而从第一段My children must get out of this可知作者希望改变现状。
