        Linda and Betty were both nineteen years old. In June, after a school year was over, they decided to take a vacation{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . They went to several towns and villages, visited some places of interest, saw and heard a lot of interesting things. They{#blank#}2{#/blank#}   very much.

One afternoon, they were going to stay overnight in a small town. It was too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  to go further and they wished they could find a river and swim in the cool water. They were driving the car{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  while they were looking around. Suddenly Linda saw a lake not far away. They drove there fast and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} by the lake. They looked around and found a woman sitting on a stone and fishing there. After they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and were going to jump into the water, the woman came up to them and shouted, "Sorry, madams. Swimming  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  in the lake!"
"Why didn't you tell us about it{#blank#}8{#/blank#}   we took off our clothes?" Betty said angrily.    "But it isn't forbidden to take off clothes by the lake," said the woman.

    When we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the developing world. But the fact is that we can see homeless people{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. For example, how many of us would expect {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people living on the streets of a developed country like Germany?

    Kurt Muller and his wife (妻子) Rita had spent years making meals for the homeless of Berlin, Germany. They often stayed at home, made sandwiches, set a table in the street and gave food to the homeless. “I got such a strong{#blank#}3{#/blank#} when I saw thankful and happy smiles (微笑) on their faces.” said Kurt.

    The Mullers soon found that food and clothing weren't enough. “What these people also need is warmth and caring.” said Rita. The Mullers {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita made sure there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to the homeless.

    They were soon running out of all their time and money, so Kurt had to visit food and clothing factories to ask for help. Many factories were moved (感动) by their {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and spirit, they gave them enough food and clothing. 

    Kurt and Rita get nothing for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn't expect money for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} their children. The love we get on the streets is the best thing for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.” Though Rita and Kurt meet many {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and often get tired, they say they will go on with the work because they like the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of having made a difference in the world.

    It was sunny and h{#blank#}1{#/blank#} again at this time of year. John went to the beach to s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} his weekend. He was lying on the sand and l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to music. Suddenly he h{#blank#}4{#/blank#} someone crying for help. He j{#blank#}5{#/blank#} up hurriedly and looked towards the voice. He saw a little boy waving(挥动) his hands in the w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a little far away. He t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} off his clothes and jumped into the water

    q{#blank#}8{#/blank#} . He swam to the little boy, held him, kept his head a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  the water and swam back to the beach. At last, the boy was safe. He thanked John a l{#blank#}10{#/blank#} .
