f the ci ty. Its buni ness are gone. The factori es, hotel sand palace are al gone too. Within an hour after the earthquake, the sm oke of SanFrancio’s fires coul d ben sen 160 kil om etres away. The sun i s red i n the dark sky. There was no stopi ng the fires. There was no way to ani ze or m uni cate. The steel rai l way tracks were now usel ess. And the great pi pes for carryi ng water under the strets had burst. Al of the ways m an had m ade to keep the ci ty safe were gone i n the thirty second the earth moved. O ut at sea i t was cal m. N o wi nd cam e up. Yet from every di recti oneast, weast, north, andsouth, strong winds bl ew upon the unl ucky city. Man him sel f had to m ake ruins of the city’s best buildings so that they woul d not be a danger to those i n the streets. A l ist of bui l di ngs undesteryed was now onl y a few addreses. A l ist of the brave m en and the wom en woul d fil a li brary. A li st of al those kil l ed wil l never be m ade. Am azing as i t m ay seem , Wednesday ni ght was a qui et ni ght. There were no crowds. The pol i cem en sai dnothi ng。 even thei r horses were quit. There were no shouts or peopl e doi ng crazy things. In al those terri bl e hours I saw not one wom an who cri ed, not one m an who was exci ted. Before the fi res, through the ni ght, thousands and thousands of peopl e who had l ost thei r hom es l eft for safety. Som e were covered i n bl ankets. Som etim es whol e fami li es put everythi ng they owned and coul d save i nto wagons. They hel ped one another cl im b the hi gh hil ls around the city. Never in al l SanFrsncio’s histroy were her peopl e so kind as on that terrible night. Unit 5 Elias’ story My name i s El i as. I am a poor worker i n SouthAfri ca. The tim e when I first m et N elson Mandel a was a very diffi cul t peri od of m y li fe. I was twel ve years ol d. It was i n 1952 and Mandela was the bl ack l awyer to whom I went for advi ce. H e offered gui dance to poor bl ack peopl e on thei r l egal probl em s. H e was generous wi th hi s ti m e, for whi ch I was grateful. I needed hi s hel p because I had very l ittl e educati on. I began school at si x. The schol where I studi ed for only two years was three kil om eters away. I had to l eave because m y fam il y coul d not conti nue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. I coul d not read or wri te wel . After tryi ng hard, I got a job i n a gol d mi ne. H owever, thi s was a tim e when one had to got to have a passbook to li ve i n Johannesburg. Sadl y I di d not have i t because I was not born there, and I worri ed about whether I woul d bee out of work. The day when N elson Mandel a hel ped m e was one of m y happi est. H e tol d m e how to get the correct papers so I coul d stay i n Johannesburg. I becam e m ore hopeful about m y future. I never fot how ki nd Mandela was. When he ani zed the AN C Youth League, I joi ned it as soon as I coul d. H e sai d: “ The l ast thirty years have seen the greatest num ber of l aws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have alm ost no rights at al l. ” It was the truth. Bl ack peopl e coul d not vote or choose their l eaders. They coul d not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town i n whi ch they had to li ve were deci ded by whi te people. The pl aces outsi de the towns where they were sent to l i ve were the poorest parts of South Afri ca. N o one coul d grow food there, . In fact as N el son Mandela sai d: “… We were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were l ess im portant, or fight the governm ent. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the l aw in a way which was peaceful。 when this was not al l owed… only then did we decide to answer violence with viol ence. ” As a m atter of fact, I do not like viol ence… but in 1963 I hel ped him bl ow up som e governm ent buildings. It was very dangerous because i f I was caught I coul d be put i n pri son. But I was very happy to hel p because I knew i t woul d help us achi eve our dream of m aki ng bl ack and whi te peopl e equal. The rest of El ias’ story You cannot i m agi ne how the nam e of Robben Isl and m ade us afrai d. It was a pri son from whi ch no one escaped. There I spent the hardest tim e of m y l ife. But when I got there N el son Mandel a was al so there and he hel ped m e. Mr Mandel a began a school for those of us who had l i ttl e l earni ng. We read books under our bl ankets and used anything we coul d fi nd to m ake candl es to see the words. I becam e a good student. I wanted to study for degree but I was not al owed to do that. Later, Mr Mandel a al owed the pri son guards to joi n us. H e sai d they shoul d not be stopped from studyi ng for thei r degrees. They were not cl everer than m e, but they di d pas thei r exam s. So I knew I coul d get a degree too. That made m e feel good about m ysel f. When I fi ni shed the four years in pri son, I went to fi nd a job. Si nce I was better educated, I got a job worki ng i n an offi ce. H owever, the poli ce found out and tol d m y boss that I had ben i n pri son for bl owi ng up governm ent bui l di ngs. So I l ost m y job. I di d not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the AN C cam e to power i n 1994. Al l that ti m e m y wi fe and chil dren had to beg for food and hel p from rel ati ves or fri ends. Luckil y Mr Mandel a rem em bered m e and gave m e a job taki ng touri sts around m y ol d pri son on Robben Isl and. I felt bad the fi rst tim e I tal ked to a group. Al the terror and fear of that tim e came back to m e. I rem em bered the beati ngs and the cruel ty of the guards and m y fri ends who had di ed. I fel t I woul d not be abl e to do i t, but m y famil y encouraged m e. They sai d that the job and the pay from the new South Afri ca governm ent were m y reward after worki ng al l m y l i fe for equal ri ghts for the Bl acks. So now at 51 I am p。
