When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg __36__a few coins, do you hurry on, not __37__ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly __38__ some money? What should our attitude__39__ beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It __40__ be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems __41__ not to give some money to beggars.
__42__, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open-hearted and __43__what we have with those less lucky than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, __44__ one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their __45__.
First, some believe that many city beggars dress up __46__ to look pitiable and actually make a good __47__ from begging.

Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government __51__ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and __52__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various __53__and we must __54__ them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the__55__.

When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my 41 I found people queuing some paces away from the person at the savings deposit window. 42 so? Each did his business 43 but the line never moved a step 44 . I was very 45 , so I walked to the window to find out the cause.

From then on I 55 to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment 56 towards others. I found the Germans always mindful of other’s privacy. They avoided putting others in an embarrassing situation. For instance, they never 57 about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat, 58 would they comment on the others or jewelry others wore. Their laws 59 reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows 60 matters are not allowed to be disturbed.
