READING: Reаd the аrticle. Then, аnswer the questiоns. Recently I have read a number оf bоoks and articles on immigration. The book I just completed is perhaps the most informative about the current immigration situation. It is written by an author whom I really admire. It is about the recent increase in immigrants coming into Western Europe, in which the author has a lot of experience. He has been reporting from the Middle East for the past five years, where people are escaping war zones and invasions. He states that these refugees, whose numbers are increasing at a disturbing rate, are mostly leaving their homes with little more than a suitcase. One of the main themes that he writes about is how this rush is challenging to Western Europe. From the many interviews he has done, the author is able to give the reader real life stories, which include many instances of women and children traveling alone. He says most people, after escaping their countries, arrive in Turkey where they wait in makeshift camps for entry into Greece. He writes that many families, whose descriptions of overcrowded and dirty camps are frightening, decide to pay people to take them to Greece on small, rubber boats, which can be dangerous. He tells stories of what they have to experience, and forces readers to think about what it must be like when they have to take their young children on such uncertain journeys. He makes it very clear that these people are desperate enough to risk everything to be in Europe. The author talks about the reaction of the countries that are receiving these refugees, and how it is becoming one of the largest political issues of our time. Many other books and articles, that are written by experts, also state this concern of a rapidly growing anti-immigrant attitude. What he points out, and I find significant, is that many of the people who are against the settling of refugees in their towns, are themselves immigrants or children of immigrants. The number of immigrants trying to enter Europe is not going to decrease any time soon, says the author, and that it urgently needs to be confronted. He suggests we need to look beyond our comfortable lifestyles and acknowledge that without empathy and understanding, there will be problems. He tells the reader that refugees are on our doorstep, and asks if we are going to let them in or fight to keep them out. According to the article, which of the following is true?
Hоw, оn the dаy оf Pentecost, did God the Holy Spirit аssist the аpostles of Jesus in spreading the Christian message?
