29、   If you live on the streets with little food and money, what will you do with a bag filled with snacks and nearly ￡500 in cash in front of you? To most people, it would be a source of temptation(诱惑). Something that happened last month has made the actions of the homeless Roy Kaufman out of the ordinary.

Roy saw a _______ on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down. He stood guard in the rain for a long time waiting for the owner to _______. Because of the coldness, he reached inside and pulled the bag out. He hoped to find some cards with its owner’s name or phone numbers so that he could _______ the driver. But he only discovered it contained some bars of chocolates and ￡435 in notes, with another ￡50 in spare change beside it.

He then took it to a nearby police station after leaving a note behind to let the owner know it was _______. When the car’s owner Mr. Anderson returned to the car, he was shocked to find two policemen standing next to it and he was told what Roy Kaufman did.

Mr. Anderson was later able to thank Mr. Roy for his _______ and said, “I couldn’t believe that the man never took a penny. The man has nothing and yet he didn’t take the money for himself.

Roy Kaufman’s act drew much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson posted about the story on Facebook.
