1.Whenever we hear about"the homeless",most of us think of the Developing world.But the(41)C is that homelessness is everywhere.For example,how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a (42)Bcountry like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making (43)D for the homeless of Berlin,Germany's capital.They first(44)Aone long hot summer when most Germans were(45)Aon holiday.Kurt and his wife stayed at home,made sandwiches,(46)Ba table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren't(47)B."What these people also need is warmth and(48)D,"says Rita.The Mullers didn't(49)Cto give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime.Rita (50)Cthere was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always (51)A to anyone who couldn't face another night on the street.
The couple were soon(52)Aall their time and money,so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to(53)Adonations.Today,over thirty companies(54)Cdonate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to(55)Cthem to the homeless.The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer(56)Anew shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no(57)Cfor their hard work."We feel like parents,"says Rita,"and parents shouldn't(58)Dmoney for helping their children.The love we get on the streets is our salary."Though Rita admits she often gets(59)D.She says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a(60)Bin the world.

13.My mum was young when she fell pregnant with me.After I was born it was decided that my father's relatives would(36)Dme in Manchester.No one spoke about Mum.Eventually,I was shown letters from Mum,(37)Bthat she was a drug addict.
All this was running through my head as I arrived in Glasgow on 27 December last year.My sister Leanne,from my mother's side,had(38)Bme down on Facebook,and we had been(39)Cfor a while,but had met only once or twice.Leanne had been brought up by our mother's parents,and had some(4)0Awith Mum throughout her life.She was now living in Canada,but returning for Christmas and(41)Dto see all the family together.A big party had been arranged to welcome her back,and everyone would be there,including our(42)C.
In a very short time my sister and I hatched a(43)B.I'd meet my sister as she arrived at Manchester airport,then we'd drive up to Glasgow(44)C.Keeping it a surprise gave us a rush.After about a four-hour drive,we were there.I'd(45)Dcalled someone"Mum"before.But there she was.
We embraced (拥抱) and were soon(46)B.We could hardly get the words out fast enough.Seeing someone so alike looking back at me was the strangest but most(47)Cexperience.Though a lifetime may have(48)Aus,this woman at a party in Glasgow was my mum.She(49)Cat me for a second,before giving me a tight hug.All she could say was that she never thought we'd(50)Dagain.
