This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a 26 effect on me. I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 27 but whose actions gave a new 28 to the words—kind and generous.
I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 29 . A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes, was 30 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car 31 on the other side of the street and an executive（主管）who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about 32 years old. He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie. He walked 33 across the street and over to the homeless man. Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 34 and then he sat down and took off his gloves（手套）, beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks. Then he 35 them to the homeless man. The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 36 mouth.
As he drove off, I couldn’t 37 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 38 the pedal（踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a 39 foot! I stood there and the looks of 40 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.
Two men of about the same age, 41 very different lives had met and the one who was 42 in materials had offered 43 than his shoes. He had left his BMW car and 44 down from his high position. He lifted up the other man when he offered respect, 45 and real generosity.
