問題詳情：

The day was Thankful Thursday. It’s a weekly   41   that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive   42   .

My girls shouted “McDonald’s, McDonald’s” as we   43   along a Busy Houston road. Suddenly I   44   that almost every crossing I passed through was   45   by a panhandler（乞丐）. And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an)   46   fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull   47   a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh,   48   … here’s lunch.”

We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately   49   back in the opposite direction for home.   50   , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was   51  and didn’t know quite how to behave.

She made her way to our car, “No one has ever done   52   like this for me before,” she said with   53 . Feeling uneasy, and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So,   54 do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”

She just looked at me with her huge, tired brown eyes and said, “Oh honey, I’m not going to eat this lunch.” I was   55   , but before I could say anything, she continued, “You see, I have a little girl and she   56   loves McDonald’s, but I don’t have money. But you know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”

I don’t know if the kids   57   the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too   58   or unimportant to really affect change.   59  in that moment, I recognized the  60  of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things —only small things with great love.”
