    　　I've worked all my life．I've done men's jobs．I've done everything．I've used screw drivers, electric drills, and punch presses．I really know what it means to do man's work．What gets me is, you work all your life like a dog．You pay your taxes into these government programs．But still, when you need help, the people that are paid to help you, they act like it's coming out of their own pockets．

    　　My husband George had a stroke not long ago．I've always worked all my life and I never had to do this before, but when George had the stroke I knew I needed some help．After all, I had to quit my job to take care of him．

    　　So I went down to the welfare and told them I needed help．We were living with my son at the time．The welfare people said that since we were staying there, he had to take care of us．If we wanted help, we'd have to move out．The trouble was we didn't have anything at all, and George was in the hospital．

    　　When I knew I needed some help, I went up here to this place called Hub Center where they're supposed to help people．Well．I told this young kid that was working there that we were starving and didn't have the money to pay our rent or buy our medicine．Well．He started writing something down on a slip of paper, and he wrote for the longest time．Then he gave it to me and said．“Take this paper to 1631 Vine Street and they'll give you a sandwich．”

    　　I said,“Thanks for nothing, kid．”

    　　I never was so embarrassed in all my life．I thought, well, I know I have to be going crazy．I just have to be, this just can't be happening．

    阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

    　　When I was 11 years old and living under the Israeli occupation, I took a chance and after curfew(宵禁)I ran to visit my grandmother who lived two blocks away from us．On the road, I had to hide under a truck to avoid soldiers coming my way．For 20 minutes I lay there in utter fear watching their boots walk back and forth in front of the truck．My heart was pounding so fast and loud that I was afraid one of the soldiers would hear it and I would be killed instantly．

    　　To calm myself, I started begging God to take mercy on me and save me from these men and their guns．I remembered the words of my mother after Israeli soldiers beat my father．She told us to put our fear and anger aside and pray for the poor soldiers, who were also afraid because they were away from their homes in Israel．

    　　I began to feel bad for the soldiers．I wondered：Where do they sleep and are they afraid of little children like me? What kind of food do they eat? Do they have big or small families? My fear eased a bit as I pictured the soldiers as people I knew．Although my 20 minutes under the truck seemed like an eternity, I believe that shedding my fear literally saved my life．

    　　Thirty－six years later I look around and see another kind of devastation created by fear．After Sept．11, the Arab and Muslim community segregated themselves because of the level of suspicion directed at them from others．Fear of association because of ethnicity led many to retreat www．gkxx．com within themselves and their community．They stopped socializing with non－Arab/Muslim colleagues and neighbors．Once again, we allow differences to separate us because of fear．

    　　I believe it is fear we should be fighting not the “other” ．We all belong to the same human tribe; that kinship supersedes our differences．We are all soldiers patrolling the road, and we’ re all little children hiding under the truck．

I pulled it off (成功). Now to keep my mouth shut. And I did, for over 42 years. Once in a while, a kid pulls the wool over people’s eyes. So that’s one of my little secrets I’ve never revealed before.
