I was on my lunch break in the city, enjoying a salad at an outdoor cafe, when a shabby homeless lady came walking towards me.She was yelling and 1 everyone who walked past her for spare 2 and she looked like a mess.My 3 reaction was fear…to close off and hope she didn't come near me, but she did.1 was on the plone and when she 4 yelling, I said,“I'm on the phone,”in the nicest way I could, assuring myself what she needed was a lesson in 5 .She walked away, mumbing(自言自语),“I'm 6 you.I'm sorry, I'm sorry.I'll leave”.And she turned the corner.
7 , I would fee relieved or satisfied, but something in me couldn't 8 .Without another thought, I looked in my 9 for the spare change I had, Even I started searching through my entire purse, the pockets, everything-for all of the change I could 10 find to give.
I got up and walked towards this lady and gave her all I 11 .She held my hand and said,“Thank you!”Her hand was 12 and dirty, but I didn't mind 13 her hand.1 wanted to be there for her for some reason, when normally I would 14 the other way.She looked at me and said,“Will you touch my face?”And for some reason, I did.I put my hand on her cheek and she started to 15 .I chould 16 it was as if she had not been touched by a loving, soft hand in ages, 17 .and so I held it there, trying to 18 her with my heart open.It was powerful
She thanked me and walked away quietly, And I walked away with an open heart, trying to 19 sense of what had just hppened, It changed somehting in me and has made me want to be a 20 operson to the people I meet during my day.
Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble.His arrest 1 as many questions as it has answers.Top of the list is 2 should happen to Saddam now, closely 3 by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
He is currently being held by 4 troops at a secret place.The US says he will stand trial for his cruel actions during his years in 5 .This is likely to take place at a court 6 two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council.The council's president Abdul Aziz al-hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(处死)if 7 guilty(有罪的)by the court.And the US 8 this.
“I think he ought to receive the 9 punishment for what he has done to people, ” said US president George W.Bush, 10 directly stating that Saddam should be put to death.
However, many 11 , including Saddam's long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court. 12 Britain, American's closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam's execution.
The UN Security Council has yet to 13 its position clear.But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan 14 say that“the UN does not support a death penalty.”
Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see 15 the US and Britain can find the 16 weapons they gave as the 17 for the war in Iraq.Asked if Saddam's capture(捕获)could 18 a breakthrough(突破)in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “ 19 obviously that possibility there.But I think we should 20 what we're doing in Iraq.”
