Lincoln is 13 years old. Every morning, he gets up at six o’clock, and then     26     out the rubbish while he is on the way to buy breakfast for his family.     27     he comes back home, he wakes up his little sister and dresses her. Then he calls his parents for breakfast. They sleep on the     28     floor of the house. Lincoln wants them to sleep a little     29     because they’re tired after a day’s work.

Now he is good at almost all the     30     washing clothes, making dinner and looking after his five-year-old sister, Sally. But two years ago, he hardly     31     out around the house. “I thought housework was for my parents at that time, but soon I knew I was wrong. Everyone should help with a few things at home. We can’t depend     32     our parents all the time,” he said.

Every Friday, Lincoln gets fifty dollars from his parents as his pocket money. “I think it’s good to     33     the children for the housework. They can get money and buy     34     they need, and anyway, they can learn how to manage (管理) their money and become more     35    ,” said Lincoln’s mom.

On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets.Some of them are so poor that they have no money to buy food.

A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on a Spider-Man suit and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won’t go hungry. The man refuses to make his name public.

The local people call him “the Birmingham Spider-Man”. The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves(应得)a helping hand.

The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he finds a quiet alley and puts on his “uniform”. After that, the “Spider-Man” starts handing his food out to people in need.

The man said, “I wear the Spider-Man suit in order to get attention.” Without the suit, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out food.When people see the “SpiderMan”. however, they come over and ask what he is doing.

“The Birmingham Spider Man” has already got lots of attention.Many people have offered to give away money to him.But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold any longer.”
