There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用)coffee”. There,you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one,so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee.

    Now,this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it's a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (写导势 的) than us. On the other hand,some people don't think it's a good idea. They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also,how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隐藏) the money and give out (分发) the food?

    This is really a trust issue. In fact,it's sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it's also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don't want to work.

But all in all,hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.
