问题     I couldn’t take my eyes off the dried blood on his face, on his blue shirt, on his
hands. "If you could just lend me eight dollars—that would get me a bus to my 【M1】______
parents," he pleads. We were standing in a subway station at midday in 【M2】______
summer. He was a neat dressed, young, white male in his twenties. He was 【M3】______
obviously distressing yet strangely calm. He told me he’d been beaten up and 【M4】______
robbed. He had gone to the police and reported the rob, and now, 【M5】______
been really upset, he wanted only to be with his parents. He had no money 【M6】______
and needed bus fare. I was suspicious. I wanted to do the right thing. I finally
said, "I’m really sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable giving you money. I think
you should go to the Traveler’s Aid. " Lately, I phoned my husband and told him 【M7】______
about the man. "Your natural tendency is always to be helpful, and if your
instincts told you not to trust in this guy, then I know you did the right thing," my 【M8】______
husband reassured me. A few days later, my husband phoned me at work
and said, "I’m calling to tell you that in this morning’s newspaper is the story of 【M9】______
a scam—a young, white, bloodied man stops women at subway stations and
asks for money. " I was redeemed. I had not misread the situation: I had not
ignored someone at need. 【M10】______ [br] 【M9】
