It’s a sad and familiar voice that we often hear in big cities: “Can you spare some change?”
Usually, when faced with that particular         , I have feelings of guilt if I pass by          giving a coin or two.
I had that feeling       in Venice while on a tour of Italy’s famous sites in 2006. I had taken refuge from the          in a quiet café. Outside, there was an old woman kneeling on the hard, ancient paving stones,         .
Steady          of tourists were walking past her. A young backpacker stood away from the crowd,       drinking in the vistas(景观、景色), but I noticed the young traveler was also          the old woman.
A tourist group walked along the street,          the woman and walked on.          group of tourists arrived and walked past the old lady. The backpacker watched          everybody else went on their way, focused on the          around them. Then, I was preparing to leave when I caught sight of the backpacker stepping forward and          some money in the woman’s cup. He did this somewhat        just before the arrival of another tourist group. As I         , the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and          some more coins to the cup.
His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar-woman, patted her on the shoulder and said, “I hope that          a little.”
I don’t know if the woman understood his English or          what had just happened, but I did.
I placed some money in the woman’s cup and continued my travels,          after witnessing such a          act of kindness.

My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse (松鸡). It's         for a grouse to have any contact (接触) with people. In fact, they're hard to spot,       they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching.
This grouse came into our lives in     Tom was working out in the field when he      her walking around at the edge of the field. She was       unafraid and seemed to be      about what he was doing.
Tom saw the       bird several times, and she got more comfortable around him. We quickly grew       of the bird and decided to call her Mildred.
One day, as Tom was working, Mildred came within a few feet of him to watch. Tom      he didn't see her and kept working to see what she would do next.
Apparently, she didn't like to be       . She'd run up and peck (啄) at Tom's hands, then       off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the        and left.
As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to        more and more often.       Mildred felt comfortable enough to jump up on Tom's leg and stay long enough for me to get a        of the two of them together. This friendly grouse soon felt        not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by.
When hunting season opened, we put a        at the end of our driveway asking       not to shoot our pet grouse. My father, who lived down the road,        warned people not to shoot her.       . hunters would stop and take pictures, because they had never seen anything like her.

For several years, we lived at the end of a long Texas country road. Every evening when I was away from home on business, my little boy would ask permission of his mother to take his black        and his daddy’s walking stick, to make the half-mile        from the house to the fence which        the beginning of the dirty driveway.
One day, I was busy with my business and was        for about an hour, completely forgetting about the        little boy down the road who might be        for his daddy.
On my way home, the rain was so thick that I could not        ten feet in front of me. All I could        was finishing my journey and getting out of the rain.        , the downpour began to abate(减弱). It was only a drizzle(细雨) by the time my car turned the last        and approached the final street between me and a warm home and nice meal.
      , I caught sight of my little boy, who was        an umbrella in one hand, a walking stick in the other, and was wearing the biggest and most beautiful smile ever to lighten the        of a little boy.
As I stopped the car and        the door, he ran into my arms and held me long and hard. He was wet and        with cold, but he never       the rain, nor the hour-long wait. He simply said, “Daddy, I missed you. I am so glad you are home.”
Last year, we        to a wonderful new home provided for a special season in our lives. We no longer have a long country road.        , I have never forgotten the rainy day and the little boy and his black dog. Often, perhaps a thousand times, that        has occurred in my mind.     all events in our lives, it happens once, and must be treasured.

Dad’s second marriage was       and my stepmother had       us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no   _  what to do with me. And that’s when my other family      .
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home      their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I       with them for the next seven years.
Barbara washed my skirts the same as Su’s.  She       I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.     I could tell, for the Beaches there was no    between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I   college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew    about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _  his kids.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the        or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a        Christmas after all.
     , the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.
There was a        on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to        us to town with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a       on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had        a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.
The        feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.
As Jeff and I were clearing pre-Christmas        from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to        us to dig out.
Then, we received an invitation to        a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their       —a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.
Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our       . Our Christmas morning        was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so       for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.
This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The        and work schedules just made things too difficult.        that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were        in the holidays.
Lonely people are all around us, but most of us        notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest        gesture can make a world of difference.
