II. Discourse Structure

A. Even though German planes attacked the ship, the children made it through
safely.
B. Nevertheless, far more children could have been saved if the rest of the Western
World had not stood by and done nothing.
C. Its purpose was to find new homes for these Jews.
D. However, some Jewish children escaped death through a program called
Kindertransport.
E. Seeing this, the British government finally decided to accept some Jewish
children.
During World War II, the Nazis killed millions of Jews in what has become
known as the Holocaust.
1
The program was part of what Winston Churchill
called Britain’s “finest hour.”
In the 1930s, many Jews wanted to leave Germany to escape the Nazis, but other
countries would not take them in. On July 6, 1938, an international meeting was held
in France.
2
Unfortunately, that meeting ended without agreement on any
action. Three days later, the Nazis destroyed thousands of Jewish homes and shops in
Germany and Austria. They then sent more than 30,000 Jewish men to concentration
camps.
3
This was the beginning of Kindertransport.
The program began in 1938 and ended in 1940. The last Kindertransport ship left
for Britain through Holland on the day World War II broke out.
4
Kindertransport saved about 10,000 children, but that figure represented less
than one percent of the children who were believed to have died in the Holocaust.
The Kindertransport provided the Jewish children with not only new homes but also
hopes to live.

VIII. Reading Comprehension
Read the following article and choose the correct answer to each question or
statement.
France’s Anne Frank
Suite Française, written by Irène Némirovsky, gives a detailed description of her
life in France during World War II. It wasn’t published until the author had been dead
for more than sixty years. When the novel finally appeared in 2004, it became a bestseller, partly because of the dramatic life story of Irène Némirovsky.
Irène Némirovsky was born to a rich Jewish family in Russia. To escape the
1917 Russian Revolution, the Némirovskys moved to Paris, where the young Irène
soon became a famous writer. In 1926, Irène married a banker, and they had two
daughters. Even though the couple tried to protect its family from discrimination(歧
視), they couldn’t escape the rise of the Nazis in the 1930s.
Their situation became dangerous when the Nazis occupied Paris in 1940. Irène
and her family hid in a distant village, but even there, they were required to wear the
yellow stars that marked them as Jews. To record their difficult experiences in
France, Irène wrote down what she saw, heard, and experienced.
Unfortunately, Irène Némirovsky didn’t live long enough to finish the huge
novel that she had started. She was arrested by the Nazis and died in a concentration
camp in 1942. Irène’s husband also died, but her two daughters survived. It was not
until the 1990s, however, that Irène’s elder daughter finally read her mother’s
writings and realized that her mother had written a fine novel.
Suite Française is a story about innocent people caught in a terrible time. It
stands on its own as a work of art, but knowing Irène Némirovsky’s personal tragic
tale makes its description of courage and loss more touching.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am writing this letter to ask you for 10,000 NT dollars. Summer vacation is coming and here
is how I plan to use the money. First, I plan to spend 7000 dollars buying a digital camera. I always
love taking pictures. With the new camera, I can record my daily life with images. As for the
remaining 3,000 dollars, I want to go on a trip with my close friends. When the new semester starts
in September, we will all bury ourselves in the preparation for the college entrance exam. We plan
to relax and have some fun first. I promise that every penny will be put to very good use.
Love,
Your son
