I was wandering around the Albuquerque International Sunport Airport. My flight had been delayed and I heard an announcement: “If anyone near Gate A – 4 understands Arabic(阿拉伯语)，please come to the gate immediately. ” Gate A – 4 was my own gate. I went there.

    An older woman was crumpled (蜷缩成一团的) on the floor, she reminded me of my grandmother.

    “Talk to her,” urged the flight agent. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this.”

    I bent over to put my arm around the woman and spoke uncertainly. “Shu-dow-a, shu-bid-uck, habibti? She stopped crying. She thought the flight had been canceled. She needed to be in El Paso for a medical treatment the next day. I said, “You'll get there, just late. Who is picking you up? Let's call him.”

    We called her son. In English, I told him that I would stay with his mother until we got on the plane. She talked with him. Then we called her other sons just for fun. Then we called my dad, and they spoke for a while in Arabic and found out that they had several shared friends. After that, I called some Palestinian poets I know and let them chat with her.

    She was laughing a lot by then, patting my knee and answering questions. She pulled a bag of home-made cookies filled with nuts and topped with sugar from her bag and offered them to the women at the gate. To my amazement, no one refused. It was like a sacrament (圣餐). The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo —we were all smiling, covered with the same sugar.

    I looked around that gate and thought: This is the world I want to live in, one with no anxiety. This can still happen anywhere, I thought. Not everything is lost.

B

    John and Ann are from Dublin, Ireland. They've been friends since they were children. They lived in the same neighborhood when they were young and they went to the same university.

    Today John is a 34-year-old engineer. He works in the heart of Dublin. He is very busy and doesn't have much free time. He found a maid (女佣) to clean his house on Saturdays, but during the week he has to make the bed and tidy up his room. He must also wash the dishes. Sometimes he cooks a meal, but most of the time he stops at a restaurant near his home and buys a meal for dinner. He often arrives home very late. Luckily, his maid is quite professional and takes good care of the house. In just 6 hours, the house begins to shine, with a fresh look and clean air to breathe.

    Ann is 35 years old. She lives in a small village in Dublin. She works as a doctor at the village's health center. She starts working at 9 a.m. and finishes at 4 p.m. There is a half-hour lunch break at 12:30 p.m. After work, Ann has to pick up her two daughters from school. After they arrive home, the children do their homework while Ann prepares dinner. Her husband (丈夫) usually does part of the chores when he gets home. First he prepares the children's bath and then he washes clothes. Before dinner, he hangs up the clothes and then the children help him to lay the table (摆好餐具) and ... it's dinner time! After dinner, Ann's husband usually does the dishes while she tidies up the kitchen. When there is too much rubbish, she takes it out.
