Outside our hotel, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched(张开的). Every day as our eyes met, she never        to return my smile and my greeting.
On the last day of our       , I was hesitating to cross the busy street alone from our hotel when I felt a hand on my elbow and looked        to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street,        that she would take me across.
Then we moved on        the sidewalk, where she kissed me on cheeks and then left, still smiling and waving back to me.
Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed (目睹) various ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of tourists        the poverty-stricken is to        them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people        an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry,        that other beggars won’t immediately appear on the scene.
For many reasons, giving money is not the best        to an outstretched hand. Many travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and       . Everyone needs recognition, to feel        and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.
