What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger. Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ram Allah in December 2001. When they saw the attackers coming, Arafat’s bodyguards took no notice of his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. Seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. Though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.
But, Arafat, with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. He stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel.
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.
But has he used up the last of his nine lives? Only time will tell.
56. According to the passage, which statement is true?
A. In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in South Africa.
B. Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
C. China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
D. Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away
from his people.
57. What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?
A. Arafat is as clever as a cat.
