Unit 7

Section A

Pre-reading Activities

First Listening
Having ideas about a story before you read it is an important reading skill. Please listen to a very short piece of recording.

Second Listening
Now listen to the recording for the second time and try to the best of your ability to answer the following questions.
1. How many things did the thieves steal from the man? What were they?
2. What saved the man's life?
3. What is the raging river?

Face to Face with Guns

Like most city folks, I'm cautious. I scan the street and pathways for anything— or anyone — unusual before pulling into the garage. That night was no exception. But, as I walked out of the garage, KFC chicken in hand, a portly, unshaven young man in a stocking cap and dark nylon jacket emerged from the shrub by the parking pad and put his pistol between my eyes.
"Give it up, mother —," he threatened. "Give it up."
"Hey," I said, "just take it." As I spoke, I set the KFC box on the planter beside the pathway, contriving as I did so to toss my house keys into a bush.
"Where's your money? Where's your money?" he barked. Everything he said during our encounter was repeated; instinctively, I did the same.
"It's in my wallet. It's in my wallet," I said.
He moved behind me, put his gun on my neck and began to search my trousers' pockets.
"Where's your wallet?" he asked.
"It's in my back pocket."
"Where's the rest of your money?"
"I don't have any more money."
"Where's your watch?"
"Here," I replied, extending my left arm sideways.
Just then, his partner appeared. Slight and shorter, he held an enlarged blue steel pistol. His dark eyes shone like polished glass; his arms and legs moved unexpectedly, as if attached to unseen wires.
His voice snapped, "Stop looking at us. Stop looking at us."
He wasn't stupid. I've seen enough criminal trials to know victims of armed attacks are seldom able to identify their offenders because their attention focuses on the guns, rather than on their users. I consciously noted details of their faces.
"I'm not looking at you," I lied as the big one ripped the watch from my wrist.
"Get down. Get down," the thin one ordered. He grabbed my glasses and tossed them onto the lawn.
By then, I was flat on my face on the pathway, its dirt against my forehead. The big one's gun dug into the back of my head, the thin one's pistol into my left temple.
I thought, "I am going to die. This is going to kill Leslie. Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner."
"What's this?" the big one asked.
I rolled my head to the right.
"It's KFC chicken," I said.
"We'll take it," the big one snapped.
And,Ralph Lauren Outlet, suddenly — wallet, watch and chicken in hand — their footsteps faded down the darkened street.
I turned to see their shadows get into a car and speed away.
I had been spared, but by what? Mercy? A short attention span? Hunger?
"How peculiar," I thought, "to have your life saved by fried chicken. I saw eternity; they saw food."
I got to my feet, found the keys, entered and called 911. The operator took a description of the robbers and sent a police car. I poured a stiff drink and, soon, two uniformed officers of the LAPD arrived. They took a report and admitted the "important thing" was nobody was hurt.
"But," one officer said on leaving, "taking your chicken,Ralph Lauren Shirts,<a href="http://wiki.weekendapps.com/index.php?title=User:471673643#using_language-listening.2Cspeaking_and_writing-part_2-.E8.8B.B1.E8.AF.AD.E5.90.AC" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;">http://wiki.weekendapps.com/index.php?title=User:471673643#using_language-listening.2Cspeaking_and_writing-part_2-.E8.8B.B1.E8.AF.AD.E5.90.AC</a> A confirmation request was sent to your alternate email address. You must click the link in the email to complete adding this address to your account., that's rough."
Later, an officer telephoned for additional details. He said the pair's methods suggested they might be the same men who had committed a number of robberies in the area over the past few months. He asked me to come to the station and look through mug shots.
So, last Monday I looked through album-sized books of pictures mostly of young men — an amazing number of them actually children.
Turning those pages and studying their photographs is like flowing on a sad current that, like Blake's Thames, seems to "mark in every face, marks of weakness, marks of woe."
Together, these young men are a kind of river — one that is out of control, eating at the foundations of things we hold dear: our freedom to move about; the fruits of labor; our own lives and those of people we value. Some day, we will have to face this river and seek the depths of its discontent.
Presently, all we can do is look at mug shots and stick our fingers in the dam.

Section B
Should I Have a Gun?

I own a black gun with a brown handle. It holds five bullets and stays loaded by my bed.
I've always advocated gun control; the odd thing is I still do. It wasn't ignorance of crime statistics that previously kept me from owning a gun nor thinking I was immune to violence.

1. What is the purpose for the writer to have a loaded gun since she is in favor of gun control?

I assumed because I didn't believe in violence, because I wasn't violent, I wouldn't be affected by violence. I believed my belief in the best of human nature could make it real.
I should transport the gun from my residence to my vehicle, but I don't. What the gun is capable of, what it is intended for, still frightens me more than what it may prevent. If I carry my gun and I am attacked, I must use it to kill, not just injure.

2. Why did the writer choose not to take her gun along with her since she has her gun loaded?

I have confronted an attacker in my imagination, not in reality. A man is walking down the street. I lock my car and walk to my apartment with my key ready. Before I reach the door, I think I hear a voice say, money. Before I open the door I hear a voice and turn to see the man with a gun.
He is frightened. I am frightened I will scare him and he will shoot, or I will give him my money and he will still shoot. I am also angry because a gun is pointed at me by someone I've never met and never hurt.
Something makes me uncomfortable about this imagined robbery, something I don't want to admit, something I almost intentionally omitted because I am ashamed.

3. What, do you think, is the something that makes the writer feel uncomfortable?

I understand why I imagined being robbed by a man: They're physically more dominating and I've never heard of anyone being robbed by a female.
But why is he a black man? Why is he a Negro male with a worn T-shirt and shining eyes? Why is he not a white man?

4. Why is it that the writer's imagined robber is always a man and especially a black man?

I imagine standing in a gas station on Claiborne and Jackson waiting to pay the cashier when a black man walks up behind me. I do not turn around. I stare ahead waiting to pay. I try not to reveal I feel anxiety just because a black man has walked up behind me in a gas station in a bad neighborhood and he does not have a car.

5. What does a bad neighborhood mean here?

I imagine another possibility. I am walking with my gun in my hand when I hear the voice. The man mustn't have seen my gun. I get angry because I am threatened,<a href="http://chinaplm.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=16109" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;">http://chinaplm.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=16109</a> A confirmation request was sent to your alternate email address. You must click the link in the email to complete adding this address to your account., because someone is endangering my life for the money in my pocket.
I turn and without really thinking, angry and frightened, I shoot. I kill a man for $50 or perhaps $100. It doesn't matter that he was trying to rob me. A man has died for money, not my money or his money, just money. Who put that price on his life?

6. What is the writer's level of comfort with killing a robber in self-defense?

I remember driving one night with my friend in her parents' automobile. We stopped at a red light at Carlton and Tulane where a black man was crossing the street in front of us. My friend automatically locked the doors.
I am disgusted she saw the man as a reminder to lock her doors. I wonder if he noticed us doing so. I wonder how it feels when people lock their doors at the sight of you.

7. What does the writer intend to say when she finds her friend locking the doors at the sight of a black man?

I imagine another confrontation in front of my apartment. I have my gun when a man asks for money. I am angry and scared, but I do not use the gun. I fear what may happen if I don't use it, but am more afraid of killing another human being, more afraid of trying to live with the guilt of murdering another person. I bet my life that he will take my money and leave. I hope I win.

8. What does "I hope I win" mean?

Now I enter a gasoline station near my house. A black man is already waiting in line. He jumps and turns around. Seeing me, he relaxes and says I scared him because of the way things have become in this neighborhood.
Sorry, I say and smile. I realize I'm not the only one who is frightened.

A Bank Robbery

It was about midday. I'd left work early in the morning to cash （兑现）a cheque. I walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers in there, a pretty unusual number for those central city banks.

1. What could make the writer sense that something was about to happen at this moment?

I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face — just sort of a blank（茫然的）stare. I thought he was looking at me until I realised he was staring over my shoulder.
I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor. Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol.
Whether or not they said anything I can't remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I don't know. I put my hands up but I just didn't know what to do.
For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing. I remember wondering who was on the other end of the line. Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise（不然）deathly quiet.
Then two of the masked men went to the counter（柜台）, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing（咒骂）at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on.

2. Why did the robber get a bit of an anxiety attack now?

They jumped back over the counter. One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. The other two swore at him again. Then they left through the door, warning us, "Don't move. Stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes." Then they just disappeared. There was total silence.
We put our hands down but I just stayed exactly where I was. Then one of the bank workers pressed a button behind the counter and the steel gate at the front of the bank moved into place so that we were locked in. We just stayed like that until the police arrived three or four minutes later.
They picked up the bank guard who, poor fellow, was still lying flat on the floor. There was a good deal of confusion（混乱）.
As though in a dream, I just wandered（漫步）out of the bank. Nobody tried to stop me. The police didn't seem interested in me. They didn't want to question me. I wasn't asked to be a witness（证人）or anything so I just wandered out of the bank.

3. What did the writer intend to say here?

Life as normal was going on outside in the busy street and I wandered back to the school. On the way back I ran into the school's accountant（会计）and quietly mentioned to him that I'd just been in a bank robbery. Of course,air jordans, he was absolutely amazed and asked, "Do you want to come for a drink?" I said "OK."
In fact, it was only at that point that I really began to feel nervous and felt myself trembling a little bit. I was all right later on after I'd had a couple of drinks, but it only really came home to me what had happened at that point.

4. Why did the writer feel nervous only at this moment?

What still amazes me is that the robbers went out onto the street, one of the busiest in Naples, in the middle of the day, and just disappeared into thin air. I still find that absolutely unbelievable.

5. What did the writer want to express here?
