Early this month, on the Egyptian-Israeli border not far from her hometown, a series of bombings killed 35 people and injured more than 160. Despite the attack, life quickly returned to normal. Living under the threat of attack is normal here.

Israel teenagers’ interests are not very different from others’. “Low-cut jeans（低腰牛仔褲）and miniskirts are very in,”said Hinanit, an 18-year-old teenager.

“You cannot let the fighting control what you do and don’t do. Of course I am scared sometimes, but I still go out and have fun. Yon always have to be careful, and things are probably more dangerous now, but I still love Israel. It is my home, and I would not leave it for anything!” Cohen said.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian boy named Bilal lies in a hospital bed, with his friends round, praying for his life. He has been in a coma（昏迷）since Israeli soldiers shot him on his way to school last month. In this recent military action, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 83 Palestinians, including 24 children.

Palestinian children lead a dangerous life under the watchful eyes of Israeli soldiers. Israel presents them as terrorists（恐怖分子）and faceless stone throwers. Many Palestinian children have been driven away from homes into crowded and hungry refugee camps with their families. “Even if we are surrounded by Israeli soldiers and have no food, we will stand and defend our country,” said Fatima Al-Aidi，a 13-year-old teenager, who lost a friend in Israel’s recent attack. “I hope to carry a lot of weapons and take my revenge（報(bào)復(fù)）one day. I hope the day comes when the enemy leaves Palestine.”

We live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.

I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own "mini farm" of animals! But he would say "OK!" and then blow the idea off because of our business.

Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but his winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up. Even the doggy had a coat on! Not even thinking about it, I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with al the fixings for the man and his little buddy. I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog. He said, "Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel." And there were tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he ws so welcome, and then went home.

When my husband dug into the KFC gag he asked, "Were you hungry, or what?" I told him what I did and he said, "Only you!" Then he told me I had done a good thing.

A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me, with his little dog. He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn't have been up to it, so he hoped to give it to me. "Only you! In this city, you are the only person I can believe in!"

Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace, I will recall the old man's words and wish him good luck.
