6 . I was living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is a _________ city, with more people living in it than in my whole country. We rented a flat in a guarded community, but there was a favela (棚户区) quite _________.

For several months I didn't have a car, so three times a week, I took buses to go to the city centre. During these _________, I would ride with the people who took the same bus from the favela to go to work. When I got on the bus, all the seats were already _________. But when people saw that my bag was heavy, they offered to hold it on their legs to make me feel lighter _________. At first, I was _________. Then I realized that these people had absolutely no _________ to steal from me: they only wanted to _________.

Once, on my way back, I had to _________ for a long time at a bus stop. I was alone, except for a woman who was __________ very poor. She carried a small paper bag of popcorn and nothing else.

While we were waiting, she walked over and __________ me some popcorn. I __________ her, but didn't want to help myself to it. She then repeatedly insisted that I take from what was clearly her only food.

That was the first time I had thought about how people who have almost nothing are sometimes able to __________ the little they have more "__________ "than those who own a lot. I wonder if it's true that the more you have, the bigger the difficulty to share anything with others. I was so moved by that woman's simple generosity that day. I clearly __________ more than she did, but she naturally and joyfully shared what little she had with me.
