    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.

    Every year in Australia there are crocodile (鳄鱼) attacks (攻击) on humans. Two years ago, a 24-year-old German tourist died when she went {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in a lake. Although there were signs warning people that there might be crocodiles, the girl and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} friends decided to have a midnight swim. The girl {#blank#}3{#/blank#} disappeared and the next morning her body was found. Near it was a four-meter crocodile. And only last month two{#blank#}4{#/blank#} boys watched in fear as their friend was killed by a crocodile. They were washing their mountain bikes in a river at that time. Then, those two boys climbed a tree and stayed there for 22 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}while the crocodile waited below.
