A Night the Earth didn』t Sleep Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei. For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual the night.
At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometers directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometers away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometers long and thirty meters wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The suffering of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were injured ring the earthquake. Thousands of families were killed of injured reached more than 400,000.
But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked nearly every thing was destroyed. All of the city』s hospitals, 75% of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for traveling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan. Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.
All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers of thousands of people were helped. The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.

地球的一個不眠之夜
河北省東北部的農村不斷有些怪事發生：三天來，村子裡的井水升升降降，起起伏伏。農夫注意到，水井的井壁上有深深的裂縫，裂縫里冒出臭氣。農家大院里的雞,甚至豬都緊張得不想吃食。老鼠從田地里跑出來找地方藏身。魚缸和池塘里的魚會往外跳。在1976年7月28日凌晨3點左右，有些人看到天上一道道明亮的光。即使天空沒有飛機，在唐山城外也可以聽到飛機聲。在市內，有些建築物里的水管爆裂開來。但是，唐山市的一百萬居民幾乎都沒有把這些情況當一回事，當天晚上照常睡著了。
在凌晨3點42分，一切都開始搖晃起來。世界似乎到了末日！二十世紀最大的一次地震就在唐山市正下方11公里處發生了。100公里以外的北京市都感到了地震，全國1 / 3的地方都有震感。一條8公里長30米寬的巨大裂縫橫穿房舍、馬路和渠道。地上一些洞穴冒出了蒸氣。石頭山變成了泥沙河，在可怕的15秒鍾內，一座大城市就沉淪在一片廢墟之中。人們遭受的災難極為深重。2/3的人在地震中死去或受傷。成千上萬個家庭遇難，許多孩子變成了孤兒。死傷的人數達到40多萬。
倖存的人們又怎麼能相信這是自然現象呢？人們無論朝哪裡看，哪裡的一切都幾乎被毀了。所有的市內醫院、75%的工廠和建築物、90%的家園都消失了。殘磚就像秋天的紅葉覆蓋著大地，然而它們是不可能被風颳走的。兩座大壩垮了，多數橋梁不是塌了就是無法安全通行了。鐵軌如今成了一條條廢鋼。好幾萬頭牛再也擠不出奶來。50萬頭豬和幾百萬只雞全都死了。井裡滿是沙子，而不是水。人們驚呆了。接著，在下午晚些時候，又一次和第一次一樣的強烈的地震震撼著唐山。有些醫生和救援人員被困在廢墟下面。更多的房屋倒塌了。水、電和食物都很難弄到。人們開始納悶，這場災難還會持續多久。
不是所有的希望都破滅了。地震後不久，部隊派了15萬名戰士到唐山來協助救援人員，數十萬的人得到了救助。部隊人員組成小分隊，將受困的人們挖出來，將死者掩埋。在唐山市的北邊，有一個萬名礦工的煤礦，其中多數人得救了。援救人員為那些家園被毀的倖存者蓋起了避難所，用火車、卡車和飛機向市內運來了水。慢慢地、慢慢地，這座城市又開始出現了生機。

Elias』 Story My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.
I needed his help because I had very little ecation. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.
The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:
「The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping out rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.」
It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:
「…we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed…only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.」
As a matter of fact, I do not like violence… but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.伊萊亞斯的故事
我的名字叫伊萊亞斯。我是南非的一個窮苦的黑人工人。第一次見到納爾遜·曼德拉的時候，是我一生中非常艱難的時期。（當時）我才12歲，那是在1952年，曼德拉是我尋求幫助的一位黑人律師。他為那些窮苦黑人提供法律指導。他十分慷慨地給予我時間，我為此非常感激。
由於我所受的教育很少，所以我需要他的幫助。我六歲開始上學，我僅僅在那裡讀了兩年的學校有三公里遠。我不得不輟學，因為我的家庭無法繼續支付學費和交通費。我既不太會讀，也不怎麼會寫。幾經周折，我才在一家金礦找到一份工作。然而在那個時候，你要想住在約翰內斯堡就非得要有身份證不可。糟糕的是我沒有這個證件，因為我不是在那裡出生的，我很擔心我是不是會失業。
納爾遜·曼德拉給予我幫助的那一天是我一生中最高興的日子。他告訴我要想在約翰內斯堡立住腳，應當如何獲取所需證件。我對自己的未來又充滿了希望。我永遠也忘記不了他對我的恩情，當他組織了非國大青年聯盟時，我馬上就參加了這個組織。他說：「過去30年來所出現的大量法律剝奪我們的權利，阻擋我們的進步，一直到今天，我們還處在幾乎什麼權利都沒有的階段。」
他說的是真話。當時黑人沒有選舉權，他們無權選擇他們的領導人。他們不能做自己想要做的工作。他們所能住的城區都是由白人決定的。他們被打發去住的城外地區是南非最貧窮的地區。在那兒，沒有人能夠種莊稼。事實上，就像拉爾遜·曼德拉所說的：
「……我們被置於這樣一個境地：要麼我們被迫接受低人一等的現實，要麼跟政府作斗爭。我們選擇向法律進攻。首先我們用和平的方式來破壞法律，而當這種方式也得不到允許時，……只有到這個時候，我們才決定用暴力反抗暴力。」
事實上，我並不喜歡暴力，……但是在1963年的時候，我幫助他炸毀了一些政府大樓。那是很危險的事情，因為如果我被抓住了，可能就會被關進監獄。但是，我樂於幫忙，因為我知道，這是為了實現我們的黑人和白人平等的夢想。

安妮最好的朋友

你是不是想有一位無話不談能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是擔心你的朋友會嘲笑你，會不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮?弗蘭克想要的是第一種類型的朋友，於是她就把 日記 檔成了她最好的朋友。

安妮在第二次世界大戰期間住在荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是猶太人，所以他們不得不躲藏起來，否則他們就會被德國納粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了兩年之後才被發現。在這段時間里，她唯一的忠實朋友就是她的日記了。她說，“我不願像大多數人那樣在日記中記流水賬。我要把這本日記當作我的朋友，我要把我這個朋友稱作基蒂”。安妮自從1942年7月起就躲藏在那兒了，現在，來看看她的心情吧。

1944年6月15日星期四

親愛的基蒂：

我不知道這是不是因為我長久無法出門的緣故，我變得對一切與大自然有關的事物都無比狂熱。我記得非常清楚，以前，湛藍的天空、鳥兒的歌唱、月光和鮮花，從未令我心迷神往過。自從我來到這里，這一切都變了。

……比方說，有天晚上天氣很暖和，我熬到11點半故意不睡覺，為的是獨自好好看看月亮。但是因為月光太亮了，我不敢打開窗戶。還有一次，就在五個月以前的一個晚上，我碰巧在樓上，窗戶是開著的。我一直等到非關窗不可的時候才下樓去。漆黑的夜晚，風吹雨打，雷電交加，我全然被這種力量鎮住了。這是我一年半以來第一次目睹夜晚……

……令人傷心的是……我只能透過臟兮兮的窗簾觀看大自然，窗簾懸掛在沾滿灰塵的窗前，但觀看這些已經不再是樂趣，因為大自然是你必須親身體驗的。

你的安妮

通向現代英語之路

16世紀末期大約有5百萬到7百萬人說英語，幾乎所有這些人都生活在英國。後來，在17世紀英國人開始航海征服了世界 其它 地區。於是，許多別的國家開始說英語了。如今說英語的人比以往任何時候都多，他們有的是作為第一語言來說，有的是作為第二語言或外語。

以英語作為母語的人，即使他們所講的語言不盡相同，也可以互相交流。請看以下例子：

英國人貝蒂：“請到我的公寓(flat)里來看看，好嗎?”

美國人艾米：“好的。我很樂意到你的公寓(apartment)去。”

那麼，英語在一段時間里為什麼會起變化呢?事實上，當不同 文化 互相交流滲透時，所有的語言都會有所發展，有所變化。首先，在公元450年到1150年間，人們所說的英語跟今天所說的英語就很不一樣。當時的英語更多地是以德語為基礎的，而現代英語不是。然後，漸漸地，大約在公元800年到1150年期間，英語不那麼像德語了。因為那時的英國的統治者起初講丹麥語後來講法語。這些新的定居者大大豐富了英語語言，特別是在詞彙方面。所以到17世紀，莎士比亞所用的詞彙量比以前任何時期都大。在1620年，一些英國人搬遷到美洲定居。後來，到了19世紀，有些英國人也被送往澳大利亞，兩個國家的人都開始說英語了。

最後，到20世紀，英語才真正定形。那時，英語在拼寫上發生了兩大變化：首先，塞繆爾?約翰遜編寫了詞典，後來，諾厄?韋伯斯特編纂了《美國英語詞典》，後者體現了美國英語拼寫的不同特色。

現在，英語在南亞也被當作外語或第二語言來說。比如說，印度擁有眾多講英語很流利的人，這是因為英國於1765年到1947年統治過印度。在那期間，英語成了官方語言和 教育 用語。在新加坡、馬來西亞和非洲其它國家，比如南非，人們也說英語。目前在中國 學習英語 的人數正在迅速增長。事實上，中國可能擁有世界上最多的 英語學習 者。中國英語會發展出自己的特色嗎?這只能由時間來回答了。

沿湄公河而下的旅程

第一部分夢想與計劃

我的名字叫王坤。從高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直夢想作一次偉大的自行車旅行。兩年前，她買了一輛昂貴的山地自行車，然後還說服我買了一輛(山地車)。去年她去看望了我們的表兄弟——在昆明讀大學的刀衛和宇航。他們是傣族人，在雲南省西部靠近瀾滄江的地方長大，湄公河在中國境內的這一段叫瀾滄江，在其他國家(境內)叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表兄弟也對騎車旅遊產生了興趣。大學 畢業 以後，我們終於有了機會騎自行車旅行。我問我姐姐：“我們要去哪兒?”首先想到要沿湄公河從源頭到終點騎車旅遊的是我的姐姐。現在她正在為我們的旅行制定計劃。

我很喜歡我姐姐，但是她有一個很嚴重的缺點。她有時確實很固執。盡管她對去某些地方的最佳路線並不清楚，她卻堅持要自己把這次旅遊安排得盡善盡美。於是，我就知道這個盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。我不停地問她，“我們什麼時候出發?什麼時候回來?”我還問她是否看過地圖。當然她並沒有看過——我的姐姐是不會考慮細節的。於是，我告訴她，湄公河的源頭在青海省。她給了我一個堅定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的。我說，我們的旅行將從5, 000多米的高地出發，這時她似乎顯得很興奮。當我告訴她那裡空氣稀薄，呼吸困難，而且天氣很冷時，她卻說這將是一次有趣的經歷。我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了決心，什麼也不能使她改變。最後，我只好讓步了。

在我們旅行前的幾個月，王薇和我去了圖書館。我們找到一本大型地圖冊，裡面有一些世界地理的明細圖。我們從圖上可以看到，湄公河發源於西藏一座山上的冰川。起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然後它開始快速流動。它穿過深谷時就變成了急流，流經雲南西部。有時，這條江形成瀑布，進入寬闊的峽谷。我們倆驚奇地發現這條河有一半是在中國境內。當流出中國，流出高地之後，湄公河就變寬了，變暖了，河水也變成了黃褐色。而當它進入東南亞以後，流速減緩，河水蜿蜒緩慢地穿過低谷，流向生長稻穀的平原。最後，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國南海。

《湄公河之旅》
第一部分：夢想與計劃
我的名字叫王昆。從中學開始，我的妹妹（或姐姐）王薇就夢想著做一次偉大的自行車旅行。當我們大學畢業時，終於得到了這樣一個機會來完成它。是我的妹妹率先產生了這個想法——沿著湄公河一直往下，從它的發源地開始一直到盡頭。她喜歡去郊外長途騎自行車。兩年前，她買了一輛昂貴的山地車。接著，她又說服我也買了一輛。去年，她去昆明的大學看望我們的表兄，道偉和於航，他們是傣族人，在雲南省西部的江邊長大，這條江在中國境內的部分叫瀾滄江，在境外叫湄公河。王薇很快就令他們也對自行車旅行產生了興趣。
王薇確實很固執。盡管她不知道到達目的地的最佳路徑，但她還是堅持要找到河流的源頭並且從那兒開始我們的旅程。她告訴我說這趟旅行適可而止就好。現在，我知道了，「適可而止」的方式就是她的方式。我問她查閱過地圖沒有。當然，她沒有；我的妹妹一向不拘小節。於是我告訴她湄公河的發源地在青海省。她給了我一個堅決的表情——告訴我她心意已決，不會改變。當我告訴她，我們的旅程將從5000多米的海拔開始時，她看起來好像很興奮的樣子。當我告訴她，空氣將會難以呼吸並且會很冷時，她說，這將是一次有趣的經歷。我很了解我的妹妹。一旦她下定了決心，就沒什麼可以改變。最終，我投降了。
旅行前的幾個月，王薇和我去了圖書館。我們找到了一大本地圖冊，裡面的地圖很好很詳細地介紹了世界地理。我繼續問她：「我們什麼時候開始，什麼時候回來？」從地圖冊上我們可以看到，湄公河發源於西藏一座山的冰川上。一開始，這條河很小，水很清、很冷。接著，它的流得更快了。當經過深谷的時候，它變成了急流，越過雲南省西部。有時，這條河會進入寬闊的山谷，變成瀑布。我們都驚訝於得知這條河的一半都在中國。出了中國並且離開了高海拔地帶之後，湄公河變寬了，河水變黃變暖。當它進入南亞，它緩緩繞過山巒、低谷和種滿水稻的平原。最後，這條河的三角洲進入了中國南海。

Unit1 ANNE』S BEST FRIEND

Anne』s Best Friend Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands ring World War Ⅱ. Her family was Jewish so nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, 」I don』t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.」 Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15th June, 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it』s because I haven』t been able to be outdoors for so long that I』ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That』s changed since I was here. …For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by my self. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn』t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at sk when the window was open. I didn』t go downstairs until the window bad to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I』d seen the night face to face… …Sadly …I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very sty windows. It』s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. Yours, Anne

Unit2 THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH

the Road to Modern English At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world, and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don』t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes. I』d like to come up to you apartment. So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At fist the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was base more on German than the English we speak at present. Then graally between about AD 500 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600』s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia to. English began to be spoken in both countries. Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling. English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and ecation. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.

Unit3 Travel journal

Journey Down the Mekong My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college if Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got time interested in cycling too. After graating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, 「Where are we going?」 It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schele for the trip. I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn』t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, 「When are we leaving and when are we coming back?」 I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn』t; my sister doesn』t care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look -- the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in. Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a water fall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.

Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei.For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them.A smelly gas came out of the cracks.In the farmyards,the chickens and even the pigs were too nervois to eat.Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide.Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At about 3:00 am on july 28,1976,some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.In the city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.but the one million people of the city,who thiught little of these events,were asleep as usual that night.

At 3:42 am everything began to shake.It seemed as if the world was at an end!Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun.It was felt in Beijing,which is more than two hundred kilometres away.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thirty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals.Steam burst from holes in the ground.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dir.In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.The suffering of the people was extreme.Two-thirds of them died or were left without parents.The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.

But how could the survivors believe it was natural?Everywhere they looked nearly everything was destroyed.All of the city's hospitals,75%of its factories and buildings and 90% of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves.No wind,however,could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.Half a million oigs and millions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of water.People were shocked.Then,later that afternoon,another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity were hard to get.people begab to wonder how long the disaster would last.

All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes,the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead.To the north of the city,most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there.Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.Fresh water was taken to the city bu train,truck and plane.Slowly,the city began to breathe again.

Unit5 ELIAS'STORY

My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.

I needed his help because I had very little ecation. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. However, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whether I would become out of work.

The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told my how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:

「The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.」

It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:

「…we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed…only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.

As a matter of fact, I do not like violence…but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.
