一、阅读理解

• 1．My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States.The rest of his family remained in Europe.When World War Ⅰ broke out，he seemed to have become another man，downhearted.Such obvious change didn't appear out of concern for his welfare，but out of fear：if his only son，my uncle，had to fight in a war，it would be the cousin fighting against the cousin.
     One day in 1918，my Uncle Milton received his draft notice.My grandparents were very upset.But my mother，at the age of 10，felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war.Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends，my uncle bought them all service pins，which meant that they had a loved one in the services.All the little girls were delighted.
     The moment came when my uncle and most of the other soldiers，without any training but all in uniform，boarded the train.The band played and the crowd cheered.Although no one noticed，I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son.The train slowly pulled out，but didn't run about a thousand yards when it suddenly stopped.Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station.There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out.Someone shouted， "The war is over!" For a moment，nobody moved，but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers.The men lined up in two lines，walked down the steps，and with the band playing，marched down the street，as returning heroes to be welcomed home.My mother said it was a great day，but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer.

     According to the United Nations，half the Yemeni population suffers from famine．More than 85，000 children may have died of hunger since Saudi Arabia interfere in the war in Yemen three years ago，according to Save the Children，an international NGO．
     "For every child killed by bombs and bullets，dozens are starving to death and it's entirely preventable，'' said Tamer Kirolos，Save the Children's country director in Yemen．
     With only a few hospitals still 'operational，the nongovernmental organization says that the human cost of the conflict cannot simply rely on official numbers．
     Instead，the charity used historical mortality rates（死亡率） and United Nations data on Yemeni malnutrition to estimate that more than 25，000，or 20 to 30 percent of all acutely malnourished children，have died every year since April 2015．The estimates，the NGO said，may still be lower than the actual number of deaths．
     "Children who die in this way suffer immensely as their vital organ functions slow down and eventually stop．Their immune systems are so weak that they are infected easily，with some too weak to even cry，" said Save the Children representative Kirolos． "Parents are having to witness their children wasting away，unable to do anything about it，" he said．
