Last summer I was a volunteer at a shelter (避难所)for the homeless, a place for homeless people to sleep at night. I wasn’t working that summer and was
36 only two classes in summer school, so I had some
37 time.
Three nights a week, I
38 in the kitchen of the shelter along with four other volunteers. We planned and
39 for 45 people hot meals
40 vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit. The homeless people
41 this good food because many of them usually didn’t eat well.
I
42 this volunteer work, making
43 with the four volunteers in the kitchen. One was a very nice elderly housewife, one a movie actor, another a young teacher, and the other a college student,
44 me.
I talked to a lot of the homeless people at the shelter. Their life stories
45 me with sympathy (同情). Some of them had
46 with alcohol(酒精) or drugs while others only had bad
47 . One woman worked for almost 30 years for a small company, and
48 she lost her job. She looked for a
49 job, but couldn’t find one, for she was too
50 . She could do nothing but sell her furniture — sofas, chairs, and tables
51 she could pay for her food. The woman
52 on job hunting, but she
53 couldn’t find one. She had no money for her
54 and had to sleep in her car. Then she had to sell her car. Alone, afraid and
55 , she finally came to the shelter.
