Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, 　 1　 unusual night has a different meaning: helping beggars and the homeless.

Cai, a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. 　2　 she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, 　3 (give) the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.

The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “ 4 the first time I feel respected”.

Cai said, “A beggar’s life is even 5　 　(hard) today. That’s why I want to help them.”

They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer 　 6　 some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them 7 a look of surprise.

“I know the 　 8 (active) can’t help much, but it is meant 　 9　 (show) our respect and care for beggars and the homeless 　 10　 have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group.
