阅读理解：

　Five months ago, I went to Beijing on business, While I was coming out of the Beijing Railway Station, a middle-aged woman came to me with a younger woman.

　“Hi, sir, where did you come from?” she asked.

　“I've just come from Hefei.” I answered at once, thinking that people in Beijing were so kind.

　“My younger sister came from the northeast. She needs a little bit of money to send a telegram（电报）to her family asking to post her some money. Can you lend her some? My sister is too shy to ask.” I felt sorry for them . Maybe some day I would also get into such trouble. So I gave them enough money to send a telegram.

　Five days later, I was coming into the Beijing Railway Station to take the train back to Hefei. Almost at the same place, another middle-aged woman came to . “Hi, sir, where are you going?”

　“I'm going to Anhui.”

　“I'm from the northeast. I want to send a telegram to my home for some money. Can you ...?”

　Once bitten, twice shy（一次被咬，下次胆小）.I shook（摇）my head.

　“No .There are too many people like you. I just can not afford（提供）it!”

　The woman made a long face at once.

　“If you have no money, that's all right . But what are you saying?”

　“I'm saying there are too many strangers asking me to give them money to send telegrams,” I raised （ 提高）my voice, Then she said something in a low voice and went away.
