Hello,
I think you are talking about Sugar Changed the World.
"Nina was always a mysterious figure in the family: beautiful as a movie star, cosmopolitan and elegant, with wide Slavic cheeks. She spoke only Russian, though she lived much of her adult life in Tel Aviv. There were rumors that she came from nobility and that she had once been very rich. She and Avram were thought of as a glamorous couple—he the charming man with his head in the clouds (in Yiddish the word for that kind of person is luftmensh, "air man''), she the mysterious beauty who had given up everything to be with him."
Answer:
In this passage, the author presents background information about Nina by providing us personal information about her and historical facts about her life; he also describes the mystery, controversial and weirds topics that have been taking place during her life.
His 2nd porpuse was to show how Nina was able to mislead people: We can see how she was able to trick people, she was a liar: she spoke Russian, but she knew speak Hebrew.
Next time, please, add the passage. :) Thanks!

Answer:
In 1966, Cisneros' parents managed to make a down payment on a small red bungalow, thus putting a stop to their often house shifting pattern. This allows the siblings to have a permanent school and not make new friends every time they move into a new location.
Explanation:
Sandra Cisneros is an American writer but with a Latin background. Brought up amidst poverty, and with Mexican immigrant father whose salary barely made ends meet. And along with the Senior Cisneros family still residing in Mexico City, the family had to make annual trips to the South American country.
And after each trip, the family would have to pack and move into a new apartment, a new location, and thus, new schools. This means there is no sense of permanency in their lives, especially the children. This greatly affected their life, especially Sandra who found it hard to make friends and have a feeling of belonging to a particular place.
In<u> 1966, her parents managed to buy their own place, a small red bungalow which provides the family with a bit of permanent location. This ownership of a house of their own meant that she and her brothers will now no longer have to move around and change schools every year</u>.
