I had made up my mind a long time ago that I would not give a homeless person money, because I could never be sure what that money would be used for. Instead, I decided, I would buy them a sandwich, a cold drink on a hot day, a cup of coffee, whatever I could manage.

         I was out recently and saw a homeless man outside of a Starbucks. I decided I would buy this man lunch. I bought a sandwich and soda.

         Just as I was leaving the store, two policemen were approaching the man. Obviously the shop owners had complained of his wandering and the police were there to draw him away from the storefronts. Just as they were about to wake him, I asked one of the officers if it was all right if I just gave the man something before he went. I was not sure why I asked the permission but the policeman said sure and I just left the bag in the man’s cart, got in my car and drove off.

         As I was driving off I remember thinking “I hope people saw that”. Then I had to seriously ask myself why I hoped people had seen me give the man a sandwich from Starbucks. Was it because I wanted people to think, “She’s such a nice person!”? Why did I hope others had seen me do it? I continued to wonder this all evening.

         The next morning, it came to me that I wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness not so that I would receive credit and praise but so that they might be inspired to do the same and in so doing that others still would witness their acts of kindness. Thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.

1.The underlined word “Starbucks” in the second paragraph is the name of a _________.

A. shop                        B. bookstore                        C. bank                        D. man

2.When the author saw the homeless man, he was __________.

A. begging outside                                                   B. buying goods

C. staying awake                                                       D. falling asleep

3. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To show the author is great.

B. To encourage people to help others.

C. To introduce an experience that changed the author.

D. To call on people not to give money to a homeless man.

4.The author can be best described as __________.

A. bad-tempered                                         B. hard-working

C. kind-hearted                                            D. self-confident

  I am a mother of three children and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was social study. The last project of the term was called “Smile”. The last class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

  Soon after we were given the project, my husband, my youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s one cold March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

   We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back way. I turned around and found there standing behind me were two poor homeless men with a horrible “dirty body” smell. The short gentleman, close to me, was “smiling”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of light as he searched for acceptance. The second man played with his hands uneasily as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation (救赎). The short man just asked for a coffee because that was all they could afford.

  I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the men’s table. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said “Thank you”.

  I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, “That’s why God gave you to me, Honey. To give me hope.”

On the last evening of class, I turned in “my project” and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and we all knew that we need to heal people and to be healed.

  I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. “LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS---NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.”

1. Why did the people around the author back away?

A. Because both men were poorly dressed and mentally ill.

B. Because the short gentleman was smiling to everyone around.

C. Because two homeless men were also waiting in line, with a bad smell.

D. Because the second man stood playing with his hands.

2.After the author handed the meals to the homeless men, she _________.

A. talked with them for a while.        B. went back to her husband and son

C. turned in her project               D. regretted and cried

3. What kind of woman do you think the author is?

A. Over-curious       B. Caring           C. Mature        D. Lovely

4. What does the author try to tell us with the last sentence?

A. Giving is a gesture of love, which people will understand and appreciate.

B. If you need help from others, you’d better present them with gifts.

C. If you want to get something from somebody, you should please him with gifts.

D. Don’t be greedy with money or ask people to do things for you.

5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The author’s husband was very proud of her.

B. What the author did to the men touched many people.

C. Poor as the homeless men were, they had their dignity.

D. The author felt we should know how to heal people.
