第三节 短文理解2

阅读下列短文，从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。

Being away from their families during the holidays is one of the hardest things for most soldiers stationed(驻扎) far away.

Serena Ravenell, 35, has been stationed in Texas and misses her family back home in South Carolina. "I have a 5-year-old son and a daughter who just turned 2 years old. All I can do is talk with them on the phone." Ravenell said.

Many soldiers are stationed in other countries, but even being not very far away in their own country can be heartbreaking. For their families left behind, the holidays can be a hard time.

"Right now my husband is Mr. Mom. He takes care of the children," Ravenell said.

In Ravenell's unit(部队), many women have children or are single mothers. Most of them have relatives(亲戚) taking care of their children while they are away.

"Leaving my little girl was hard. My husband has done a good job, but I think all children need their mothers for those early years," Ravenell said. "Leaving was something that I did not want to, but I knew I had to do."

My home was in a pleasant place outside of Philadelphia. But I really lived, somewhere else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.

I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child- on airplanes and in train. And the irony is that I don’t care for it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends, books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.
