从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。
The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them was in a most terrible condition, so I did for her all that my love could do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand, as she said two words only-“thank you” and she died.
I could not help but examine my conscience(良心) before her and I asked: “What would I say if I were in her place?” and my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said: “I am hungry, am dying, I am cold, I am in pain,” or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face-like that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home-“I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody without comparing anything. Like an angel -this is the greatness of our people.
I believe that we are not real social workers. And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace -just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to fight against all the evil in the world.
