Jerry turned the key in the heavy lock and put it calmly in his pocket.He did so much more from caution than from any kind of fear.This was the only entrance to the house,and he did not want to be caught by any danger from outside.He wondered if David Jackson had been as careful the night before.Though David would be away for at least three days,Jerry had a strange feeling of his nearness.In the stillness he seemed to hear David’s voice.He looked around quickly,for the tricks of hearing were the most realistic of all.But there were only the women.It seemed impossible that David should not be there.
The girl,carrying a smoky oil lamp,led Jerry upstairs.He threw open one after another the doors along the passage.At this,the girl stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway,staring at him at the same time.Satisfied he was the only guest,Jerry came to the last door,which the girl threw open herself.
“You sleep here,sir,”she said,giving him the lamp.“Your friend sleep here,too.It is our most comfortable bed.”
“Good night,miss,”he said politely.
Her lips moved in reply,but he did not catch the words.Her eyes never for a moment left his face.He stepped in and as he turned to close the door,she was still standing there motionless.He paused,and in the silence,he thought he again heard the sound of David’s voice.The sound terrified him now,not only because it seemed much nearer,but also because he imagined a note of warning it.

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept.11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.
On Dec.11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification.In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests.But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America.Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail(讹诈)by terrorists.
Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent.“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept.11, then you’re disposable.They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said.
If Sept.11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely.Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid.Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境).Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled.While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s.

Several pieces of advice I've gotten in my life have really made a difference. "Be 1 to people." This sounds quite common, but I'll never 2 my father telling me that. I was ten, and I had been rude to someone. He said, "There is no 3 in being rude to anyone at any time. You never know who you're going to meet later in life. 4 .you don't change anything by being rude. 5 you don't get anywhere." " 6 that you can do anything you want to do. Don't let anyone say, 'You're not 7 enough…it's too hard…it's a bad 8 …no one has done that before…girls don't do that. '"My mom gave me that advice in 1973. And it 9 me to never worry about what others were saying about my 10 direction. "Always do the 11 job you can do at whatever you're assigned, even if you think it's 12 ." Jerry Parkinson, an assistant advertising manager and my boss at P&G, told me this in 1979.Here I had just 13 from Harvard Business School(HBS), and I was assigned to determine 14 the hole in the Ivory shampoo bottle should be: 3/8 of an inch or 1/8 of an inch. I did research, focus groups...and I would come home at night 15 how I had gone from HBS to this. But later I realized that any job you're given is a(n) 16 to prove yourself. "Don't be a credit hog (吝惜赞扬的人). If you're 17 in the neighborhood of good things, good things will 18 to you." Tom Tierney, who was my boss at Bain in 1981 and is now on the eBay board, told me this. It's 19 ? you get ahead by crediting (赞扬) other people. Finally, in 1998, I was in New York 20 the big celebration as eBay went public (上市). My husband is a doctor. I called into his operating room and told him the great news. And he said, "That's nice." | |||||
