When I worked in a large city, passing by someone who was homeless wasn’t an uncommon sight. The difficult situation of those I saw touched me deeply.
I felt I must do something, and, as a single mother, I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget. I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them out to those I met on the street each week.
Though a dollar felt like a small amount, I realized how powerful it was. For me, I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me. Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to give more. I don’t know how and if the dollars helped, but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With it around my shoulders, I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness. I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone in need. Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for being so considerate.”
I can’t help but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I pass by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.
1.Why did the author decide to come up with a plan?
A.Because she wanted to increase her limited budget.
B.Because she needed to set aside some bills.
C.Because she always passed by some homeless people.
D.Because she wanted to do something for the homeless people.
2.What did the author think of the dollars she gave to those people?
A.It didn’t make sense.
B.It could help them a lot.
C.It might have been a small amount to them.
D.It brought a friendly connection between them.
3.What do the underlined words “taken aback” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A.Surprised. B.Satisfied. C.Upset. D.Frightened.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Helping People Who Are Homeless.
B.My Experiences with Kindness.
C.Raising Money to Help Those in Need.
D.My Weekly Practice of Helping Others.
