問題詳情:
Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched(伸出的). Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes __41__. She never __42__ to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting.
On the last day of our __43_, I found myself __44__ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. We had been advised to walk __45__ through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. Let them __46__ us. But tonight I was by myself and felt __47__ to face the stream of vehicles. __48__ I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, __49__ that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos.
Then we moved on __50__ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me. I had not given her a single coin. We had __51__ something vastly more important—a warming of hearts in friendship.
Traveling in poorer nations, I have __52__ a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most __53_ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to __54__ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away(推開) an outstretched hand in __55__. A few may hurriedly drop a few coins, and then make a quick getaway in hopes that another 20 ragged beggars won’t immediately appear on the __56__.
For many reasons, giving money is not the best __57__ to an outstretched hand. The greatest gift is time and respect. To look beggars in the eye and smile, thus acknowledging their existence, is a small thing. Putting your hand into another’s outstretched hand and grasping it __58__ for a moment is also a small thing. But these are important. Everyone needs __59__, to be seen as worthy of being __60__, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.
