borders ,I went on a joumey to discover what hardships people crossing the border from Tijuana, Mexico must face. I worked at a soup kitchen, where I came into contact with many poor citizens who had
recently arrived in Tijuana. One of the people I served was a Guatemalan named Juan , who washed cars
for low pay in the US. After we spoke for 10 minutes,Juan introduced me to his girlfriend,a local stripper who offered to give me a free lap dance if I ever decided to visit the club across the street. I certainly didn"t need to respond to this.
I also visited a shelter for the recently deported and those who have recently arrived in Tijuana from other Mexican states. Tijuana is home to more than l.5 million people and is populated by many migrants who
arrive and leave mostly for reasons of unemployment. Having dinner at the shelter,l talked with those who planned to stay the night. Seated at my table was a man in his 40s. He had recently been deported from
Los Angeles for not having the proper legal documentation. The only belongings he carried with him were
a few clothes and an album filled with pictures of his wife and three daughters in Los Angeles. I was
surprised by how open he was in sharing his story. I feel bad for not learning his name before I left.
Returning to my country on the final day of my trip awakened a strange feeling inside me.
I went on this trip with an open mind and heart and was given the chance to communicate with so many
different people that I wouldn"t have met in my everyday life. I felt guilty for taking so many things for
granted, while people a few hundred miles away are already satisfied with the simpler things that they have.

had just boarded the clown escalator (电动扶梯) when I noticed a woman standing to the side. She
looked about 65, and her expression told me she was scared. I turned toward her and asked, “Do you
need help?"
As the escalator continued moving, I heard the woman reply softly, “I’m afraid." There was a hint of
doubt in her voice. "Want me to come back and get you?" I called to her. She nodded. But by the time I
reached her, the woman had reconsidered. "I don"t think I can do it", she said.
I was suddenly aware that I had made a far greater investment than I expected. "I know we can do
it," I said. "I can hold on to you." She looked down at the beast (庞然大物). Then her eyes came
back to mine, looking doubtful "This has never happened to me before," she said, as much to herself
as to me. I felt that her sudden fear had to do with the escalator"s mechanical nature, its basic inhuman
untrustworthiness.
I took her arm. "Shall we?" She made a little sound of alarm as we stepped on, but we"d passed the
point of no return. She relaxed slightly as the stairs moved us downward. "I don"t understand this at all,"
she said. As we neared the bottom, her grip (紧握) tightened again, but we did fine. "I"m so grateful."She
began. "It was nothing," I said. "I was happy to do it.
"Happy? Yes. I do very little to help others. I am busy caring for a family and working full time. For
a brief moment, I had a flash of insight into why someone would become a nurse or a social worker
or a priest. When I helped the woman, I felt pure and whole, purposeful. It was a happier moment than
I"d had in weeks.
B. she didn"t dare to go down the escalator.
C. she couldn"t carry her heavy things downstairs.
D. she felt she might be robbed of her things.
B. give the author a hand.
C. accept the author"s help.
D. afford to buy necessary things.
B. was very thankful to the author.
C. couldn"t go out shopping alone.
D. believed in the author from the beginning
B. she should first perform her own duties well.
C. the most important was to understand each other.
D. people needed other people"s help in the society.

| Jascha Richter once sang “don"t need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd. Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network. It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well. Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she"s in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards-at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender（性别）. Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive. All are friends around me.I"ve looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing.THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don"t say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I. But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words. “Standing on a mountain high Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky I should go and see some friends But they don"t really comprehend” Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also. | |||
