Nameless Faces
For about a year, my voyage to and from work each day included a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown area. As with most large cities, the homeless population in my city often gathered on downtown corners, asking pedestrians for their spare change. Like many busy citizens, I had learned to ignore the nameless faces begging for money each day.
But who would have thought that the first person to change the way I viewed humanity would be a complete stranger My overall outlook on people took a 180-degree turn in less than ten minutes.
I remember how particularly cold the weather had been that day. I saw one man sitting against a building, holding a white cup in front of him. His shaky voice reached out to me as I hurried past.
"Spare some change " he asked. "I would really appreciate it.”
I didn't even bother looking up at his nameless face. "Sorry, no money on me today," I made a lie as usual quickly, my eyes fixed on the ground ahead.
Just a few feet past him, I slipped on the icy pavement and fell hard. I lay there for several moments, stunned and wondering if I had broken my leg.
"Are you all right " A voice came from above me. I looked up and it was the man I had just rushed past, concern written on his face. He reached down, trying to offer help. "You should get that
checked by a doctor. This bus goes past the hospital," he said, pointing to the bus sign above me.
I held his hand as I struggled to get to my feet. He held my arm as I hobbled (跛行) to the nearby bus stop and quickly sat on the bench.
A mix of emotions swelled within me — gratitude for his help, embarrassment for my earlier ignorance, and anxiety about getting to work on time. For a moment, I met his gaze, unsure of what to say. Then, a sudden realization crossed his face.
Para.1 "Ah, I forgot you didn't have any money on you," he said.
Para. 2 Seeing the bus approaching, I quickly took several bills out of my purse.

【答案】
Almost immediately, he fished out coins from his white cup, his eyes brimming with care and sincerity.
The coins sparkled like diamonds amid the concrete jungle, reflecting my selflessness and ignorance.
Feeling a heavy weight of regret for my earlier lie, I turned away from his offering hand.
"Sorry, I do actually have some money," with the words, I reached for my purse to reveal the bills that I claimed didn't exist.
Embarrassed but grateful, I felt urged to give him some money to show my appreciation for his kindness.
With genuine respect and humility, I quickly pressed the money into his hands and limped towards the waiting bus.
Holding the bills, he looked at me with a complex mix of gratitude, understanding, and acceptance in his eyes, a gaze that filled my heart with a profound sense of shame.
Watching his figure shrink in the distance while the bus pulled away, I felt a profound shift within me—a newfound empathy and understanding that transformed nameless faces into powerful reminders of our shared humanity.
