When we hear about "the homeless", most of us think of the poor countries. However, it's wrong. The _______ is that the homeless can be found everywhere. For example, we can see many people living on the streets in a _______ country like Germany. Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making _______ for the homeless of Berlin, Germany's capital. They first _______ in a long and hot summer. They made lots of sandwiches for the homeless when most Germans were _______ on holiday. However, the Mullers soon realized that food wasn't _______. "What these people also need is warmth and _______," says Rita. So they never refused to help the homeless at any time and their home was always _______ to the people who couldn't face another night on the streets.
The couple soon _______ all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to __________ donations (捐赠). Today, over thirty companies donate food and money and a shoe factory __________ new shoes as well. No matter __________ Kurt and Rita offer, they receive no payment for their hard work. Rita says, "We feel like parents, and parents shouldn't __________ money for helping their children." Though they often get __________, they say they will continue with their work because they like the feeling of making a __________ in the world. And their love for the homeless has made many people in Germany give their hands to those who need help.
