Warmth at Midnight

Canberra winters are extremely cold,and 2014 brought some of our coldest days.One weekday night I walked to the 31  supermarket before it closed at midnight. 

As I approached,I noticed a group of six or seven people 32   by the supermarket entrance.Aware of the 33   of late-night walking,I made sure I paid attention.The scene ahead looked unusual.

And unusual it was.Expecting to see a group of 34   troublemakers,I found a weak, well-dressed old man distributing items of food to a group of homeless people.Rather than just feeding them,he was also engaging them in a 35   of warm discussion. 

The homeless people were rough-looking and 36   dressed.But they listened to the man 37  ,not just with gratitude for the food they had been 38   .With no charity vehicle in sight,this old man was only representing himself.After I finished shopping,the group was still there,food 39  ,but all laughing.If a weak old man can give to others in the 40   cold at midnight,what excuse do we have?

A.dangers

C.happy

B.local

D.reading

E.freezing

F.attentively

G.potential

H.sitting

I.poorly

J.given

K.consumed

L.circle
