What kind of food do they eat? Do they have big or small families? My fear eased a bit as I pictured the soldiers as people I knew．Although my 20 minutes under the truck seemed like an eternity, I believe that shedding my fear literally saved my life． 　　Thirty－six years later I look around and see another kind of devastation created by fear．After Sept．11, the Arab and Muslim community segregated themselves because of the level of suspicion directed at them from others．Fear of association because of ethnicity led many to retreat www．gkxx．com within themselves and their community．They stopped socializing with non－Arab/Muslim colleagues and neighbors．Once again, we allow differences to separate us because of fear． 　　I believe it is fear we should be fighting not the “other” ．We all belong to the same human tribe; that kinship supersedes our differences．We are all soldiers patrolling the road, and we’ re all little children hiding under the truck． (1) The underlined word “chance” can be best replaced by ________． [　　] A． fortune B． opportunity C． risk D． possibility (2) The author 's heart was pounding so fast and loud mainly because ________ ． [　　] A． she was excited, for she could visit my grandmother soon B． soldiers were coming her way back and forth in front of the truck C． she was afraid of being found and killed by Israeli soliders D． she was living under Israeli occupation and it was just after the curfew (3) Why did Mother tell the author to pray for the soliders?
