Question

Whenever we hear about “ the homeless，’，most of us think of the Developing World. But in fact, the truth is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a wealthy, developed country like Germany?

    Kurt Muller and his 1 Rita have spent eleven years making meals for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. 2 first began to do that in a hot summer when most Germans were away and enjoyed themselves on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at 3    ，made sandwiches and some delicious food by

themselves, set up a table in the street and gave the 4  to the homeless.

The Mullers soon realized that food wasn’t 5    .

Most of the homeless people are lonely, they have no friends or relatives. “    6    these people also need is

warmth and caring，’，says Rita. The Mullers gave their phone number to the street people    7    thinking    and

told them to phone anytime.    Rita made    sure there    was

8 at home to answer the    phone    and    their home    was

9_ open to anyone who couldn’t face another night on

the street.

The couple were soon    10    all    their time    and

money，so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to

11  donations. Today，over thirty companies donate

food and other goods and volunteers 12 to give them away to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a backpack producer donates new backpacks.

Kurt and Rita put their love to good use by helping homeless people in Berlin, they didn’t receive any payment for their hard work. “ We feel like 13    ，”

says Rita，“ and parents shouldn’t expect money for helping their children. The love 14 we get on the streets is our salary. ”    15    Rita    says she often gets

tired, she feels good about helping other people.

They will go on with their work because they like the feeling of having made a difference in the world.
