题目内容：

I was driving around downtown one afternoon in the winter.I 1a red light and stopped.As I was 2, I saw a young guy standing on my left.He was 3in the face and holding a cardboard sign with some 4on it. When you’re in the heart of downtown, it’s pretty 5 to see homeless people asking for 6.Generally, I would pass them, but this time when I glanced over the sign, I 7.

I can’t remember what the sign said exactly, but it was something like: “ 8money / food, have stomach cancer, homeless, anything helps.”

I didn’t know why, but for some 9this particular sign struck me.The 10had just turned green, and there was a line of lunch rush hour traffic behind me.I went back and forth in my 11a hundred times in that next 12about whether I should do something.“Should I help? 13on? Should I do something?”

I didn’t.I did nothing.

The traffic moved 14, and I went with it.about a block（街区）or two away, my heart had sunk simply for this guy.I felt so 15for him. So, I decided to go back and ask him 16 I could buy him lunch and hear his story.

It took me about five minutes to 17and back on to the same street where I had seen him.It was just five minutes — but he was 18.

“Where did he go so fast?” I wondered.So, there was 19left to do except drive on.

If you get a special nudge（想做的事）from inside you, 20consider acting on it.Don’t miss out — for yourself and for that other person.
