问题  
In the city’s historic French Quarter and the Garden District, where flooding was less severe, the recovery is already underway.
    But in some of the poorest areas, the prospects for recovery are less obvious.
    Anna Firstley’s house is unsafe, but she’s angrier that she wasn’t allowed to see what was left of it for three months.
    Even worse, says Doreen Keeler, another survivor of the heavy storm, is that 100 days after the disaster, many who lost homes are still not getting the help they need.
    People are in the same position as they were three months ago. They need answers. They need help.
    U.S. lawmakers investigating what went wrong before, during, and after the heavy storm, heard one frustrating story after another from survivors who say the federal government forgot about the citizens of New Orleans.
Jane Hedges suggested racial prejudice had a hand in the government’s response.
    As she said: "The military, which has the great capability in moving entire cities, failed to move in and move out the people, the way dogs and fish had been moved out.And people were left to die, mostly poor, mostly people of color."

选项 A、The federal government often forgets about its duties.
B、The poor and the minorities are often neglected.
C、The military often fail to help people out.
D、Many survivors can get the help they need.
