I live in a big city with a lot of homeless people. Luckily there’re __21__ ways of helping them and you needn’t have a lot of __22__. One way to help is to buy their monthly magazine. __23__ doing this one day, I __24__ a young homeless man. He was often __25__ the magazine at the train station.

He was a poor farmer from another country. After a while, I discovered that his birthday was __26__ mine. It meant that we were born in the same __27__.

I met him last year __28__ after his birthday, and after congratulating him, without __29__, I asked if he had had a good day. He __30__ and said that he hadn’t really celebrated. I felt so __31__.

I just couldn’t bear the thought of this nice, young man being __32__ on his 25^th birthday with no presents, no cake, nothing! So I went home and looked in my yarn （纱线） basket. Luckily for me, I had enough yarn __33__. I set to work and knitted （编织） a __34__ for the young man. The yarn had become a little dirty __35__ I didn’t knit very often. Then I washed the yarn so the scarf would be __36__ when he got it.

I met him on my own birthday as I was going shopping. I had __37__ to meet him so I had __38__ the scarf and a piece of my own birthday cake around with me. He was very __39__ with these gifts and so was I. The __40__ in his eyes was the best present he could have given me!

My weekly plan left me extremely tired and homesick.

I had 5 looked forward to the holidays. But this December I felt unable to go on. In my prayers（祷告） I told 　6 that I could just get home to see my mum, dad and brothers. I could survive the next two years until I graduated. But 　7 ? Rent, textbooks and other expenses left me with no 　8 cash. Money to go home? I barely had money to eat. "I'm on my 9 .Cover for me, will you? "asked Maribelle, another waitress, as she passed me 　10　 her way to the employee' s room. 11　 , there' s this guy at Table Five, "she said. "He' s been sitting there for more than an hour, not making any trouble but not 12 anything either." She paused, "It's like he's... 13　 somebody".　

I looked in the corner. 14 enough, there was a slim, pleasantly-looking man 15

in a worn shirt, and a black baseball cap, just sitting, 　16　 .I went over, trying to force a smile. "I'm Cory," I said, "please let me know if you want anything. "

I was turning to walk away 　17　 the man spoke. He had a soft, low voice, but somehow I could hear it clear and plain in the 　18　 restaurant. "I'd like an order of chips," he said, "and a glass of water. "My heart 　19　 .Chips were the cheapest thing on the menu, which meant I wouldn’t get much of a 　20　 . But maybe this guy was broke, and I sure know how that felt. So I tried my best to make him feel okay.
