Whenever（任何时候）we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the developing world. But in fact, the truth is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a wealthy, developed country like Germany?

Kurt Muller and his      Rita have spent eleven years making meals for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first began to do that in a hot summer when most Germans were away and enjoyed themselves on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at       , made sandwiches and some delicious food by themselves, set up a table in the street and gave the         to the homeless.

The Mullers soon realized that food wasn’t enough. Most of the homeless people are lonely, they have no friends or relatives. “       these people also need is warmth and caring,” says Rita. The Mullers gave their phone number to the street people      thinking and told them to phone anytime. Rita made sure there was      at home to answer the phone and their home was always open to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.

The couple were soon      all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to ask for donations. Today, over thirty companies donate food and other goods and volunteers ________ to give them away to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a backpack producer donates new backpacks.

Kurt and Rita put their love to good use by helping homeless people in Berlin, they didn’t receive any payment for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t expect money for helping their children. The love   ________ we get on the streets is our salary.” ________ Rita says she often gets tired, she feels good about helping other people.
