　　(2016·太原市高三模拟考试一) Few acts are as cruel as making fun of the less fortunate, but many people do this because it makes them feel good to be better off or more successful than others. We are not to invent reasons for ignoring the poor. We are to respond to their needs whoever they are.

　　The homeless have become invisible to us. We walk right by them without even looking at them. While there are many reasons why people in America are going to bed hungry and sleeping on the streets, there is no real reason for them to be homeless and hungry. Why then are people so merciless toward those in need? Maybe those rich people are completely short of compassion. Maybe they believe that all homeless people are worthless and lazy. Maybe they can't spend their time and money in looking at a homeless person.

　　While it's true that some become homeless because of drugs and alcohol, many find themselves on the street because of job loss, company downsizing, illness, or some other injuries. The biggest reason for homelessness is the inability of households to pay for housing.

　　Kevin's company put him on a 30­day lay­off. On the twenty­eighth day, he was informed that he would not be returning to work at all. At the same time, he lost his father. Between not being able to find another job right away and dealing with his father's death, Kevin's life took a downward turn, he was getting the run­around from his company and benefits were hard to come by. Alcohol finally took over, and the streets became his home.
