the many problems that the homeless face is little or no access to showers. san francisco only has about 16 to 20 shower stations to accommodate them. but doniece sandoval has made it her task to change that. “homelessness is something you cant really miss,” the 51-year-old woman said. she started lava mae, a sort of showers on wheels, a new project that aims to turn old city buses into shower stations for the homeless. “one day i passed a woman in the street and she was very dirty and basically crying, and i heard her say that she would never be clean. but i was wondering what her opportunities were to actually get clean,” sandoval said. sandoval was inspired to start lava mae. the project has already been welcomed with open arms in the city. the transportation agency has donated one bus for the cause and is willing to donate three more if the project succeeds. sandoval hopes the first bus will be able to hit the road in may this year. the public commission has also agreed to let the buses plug into fire hydrants(消防龙头)around the city if lava mae pays for the water. one of lava maes biggest supporters is bevan dufty, the director of housing opportunity, partnerships & engagement under the mayor of san francisco. “for people who are unhoused, access to showers is very difficult. shower buses are something that could potentially be deployed (部署)in response to an emergency, so it is relevant to all san franciscans, dufty said. “doniece has done an incredible job as a citizen who cares about helping the poor. we are very excited to see lava mae become real soon. ” each bus will have two shower stations and sandoval expects that by 2015, theyll be able to provide 2000 showers a week. 34. what problem does san francisco face according to the text? a. the city has the most homeless people in the usa. b. there are no shower stations for the homeless in the city.c. its hard for homeless people in the city to take showers. d. few citizens in

describes doniece sandoval? a. brave and independent. b. caring and responsible. c. honest and determined. d. friendly and humorous. 37. what can we learn from duftys words? a. all san franciscans are excited to use lava mae. b. emergencies in san francisco will be prevented by lava mae. c. dufty thinks highly of donieces way of helping the poor. d. the mayor of san francisco will support doniece

snow. it snowed almost every day for the next four months, while i sat on the couch and watched itpile up. one morning, i shuffled downstairsand was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲) my walk. i dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room. and back up stairs sothose good people would not see me. i was embarrassed. my first thought was, how would i everrepaythem? i didnt have thestrengthto brush my hair let aloneshovel someones walk. before johns death, i felt proud that irarely asked for favors. i identified myself by my competence andindependence. so who was i if i was no longer capable and busy? how could irespectmyself if i just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall? learning to receive the love andsupportfrom others wasnt easy. friends cooked for me and i cried because i couldnt even help them set the table. finally, my friend kathy said, “mary, cooking for you isnt aburdenfor me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.” over and over, i heardsimilar words from the people who supported me during thosedarkdays. one wise man told me, “you arent doing nothing because being fully open to yoursorrowmay be the hardest work you will ever do.” i am not the person ioncewas, but in many ways i have changed for thebetter. ive been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming formfacingones worst fear and walking away whole. i believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our
