29、 company in my empty bed at night. Whether it was her turn or not, I can usually wake to find her huddled against me. My 7-year-old son has many questions about the war and weapons. Though Ive never allowed my children to watch the evening news, National Public Radio has been my constant companion,

30、and he was interested in any mention of the war, and he questions me about “when will dad go home.”. Most troubling of all, my 9-year-old daughter has said nothing. She has asked no questions, shed no tears, and she merely glances at the photo of her father displayed on the page next to his article

31、each morning. And all three are probably the only kids at their school who can find Iraq on a map.In the end, when friends ask, “Is it worth it?” I can answer yes.

36、ne roads, New Zealand is as satisfying for a short holiday as for a somewhat longer trip which can cover the whole country in a month or so.You can see a variety of New Zealand attractions, for instance, by simply taking a five-day tour of either the North Island or South Island.New Zealand is the l

37、and where The Lord of the Rings was filmed; and if youve seen any or all of the three movies, youll be struck, at close hand, by the wonderful landscapes of this wonderful land.From Ninety Mile Beach and Cape Reinga in the north to Stewart Island in the south, New Zealand attractions provide such di

38、versity(多樣性) as beautiful bays, islands and underwater marvels, glaciers (冰河) and snow-capped mountains, Maori life and culture, and historic sites.

39、hich calls itself the adventure capital of the world, and going into the bowels of the earth at Waitomo the next.In addition, the cities are New Zealand attractions in themselves: Wellington, the nations capital; Auckland, the City of Sails; Christchurch, the most English of New Zealand cities; or D

44、e of traffic offence(違法行為) are male.The differences between the sexes are greatest for the most serious offences, with men guilty of 97% of dangerous driving offences and 94 % for causing death or bodily harm.Womens speeding offences have risen by 4% in the past five years yet still add up to only 1

45、7% of the total. Women are far less likely to have high-speed collisions(相撞) resulting in death. In the past ten years, the proportion(比例) of men with driving licences has remained at 81%, but that figure of women increased from 49% to 61%. However, the proportion of all motoring offences committed

46、by women in the past five years has risen by only 1%, to 12 %.Parking appears to be the only area of driving in which women have a poorer record.

47、and 15% more likely to reverse into another car.Steve Stradling, Professor of Transport Psychology said, “A key factor is that women get less fun out of risk-taking.
