Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the         is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a developed country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making         for the homeless of Berlin, the capital of Germany. They first         doing that during a long hot summer when most Germans were        on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made  sandwiches,       a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t         . “What these people also need is warmth and        ,” says Rita. The Mullers were always willing to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita        there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always        to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon         all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to        donations. Today, over thirty companies  regularly donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to        them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer  even gives away new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no payment for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t      money for helping their children. The love we get on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita says she often gets      , she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a        in the world.

Look at the cat on the left. Find anything strange?

In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat’s ears were folded (折著的), bent (彎曲) forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold”.
The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. They make it look very lovely. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears.

There is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger of Peace”. Why? Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different places, for example, at a noisy house or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.

“I paid her last night. You’ve got to pay when you take the room, see? So I came rushing back, but it’s Sunday, and she’d gone back to bed. I rang the bell and banged on the front door for ten minutes before I came round here. Up I went this pipe(管子) and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because….”

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building only was a few feet away from mine. They was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
After a few months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t clean her window. It really looks terrible.”
