Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She1 at a traffic light, where a man was sitting alone with a sign asking for help. She 2her window.

    "Hey! I'm driving around giving 3 haircuts. If I go and 4 a chair, do you want one right now?" she shouted, 5 kindly and expectantly for an answer.

    The man looked to be in his 70s, heavyset, balding (变秃的) and 6 a few teeth. He was a little 7, but then replied, "Actually, I was really hoping to get a haircut."

    So she drove off, went to her salon (发廊), recruited one of her stylists to help her 8a red chair into her car, and then drove back. The man, named Edward, 9 a seat, and she started to cut his 10 hair. He told her about growing up in Mississippi, about 11 to Minnesota to be closer to his adult children, and how he still talks to his mom every day.

    After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. "I look good!" he said, with his face splitting (裂开) into a huge 12 full of light. "I'll have to remember to put my 13 in next time."

    To date, Steller has given about thirty such haircuts free of charge to people around the city. These clients are all living on the margins (边缘), and she is keenly aware of the 14 of her cleanup job, which can sometimes change a life. "It's not 15 a haircut. I want it to be a gateway, to show value and 16, but also to get to know people. Maybe I can't 17 their problems, but I can help them feel less 18 for a moment."

    Steller's simple acts of 19 will reach more people and 20 people to spread their own.
