With him he had all his physical belongings on a small roll cart. I first thought, how nice to have so few possessions. That was followed with the thought of how ironic (讽刺的) it is that we live in one of the financially wealthiest areas of the U.S., if not the world, yet we cant, or dont, take care of the basic needs of human beings. Yes, we are financially wealthy, but we lack in wealth of compassion (同情), kindness, and understanding. I tear up as I ponder the inequality and injustice that exists.Anyway, I invited Mike in for a bite to eat and he eagerly accepted. He talked about looking up a friend for a place to stay that night. On Christmas Eve as many eagerly and greedily stuff their bellies with food in nice, warm homes and then open presents, Mike just wanted a place to spend the evening.Then I was really blown away. As he waited for his sandwich, Mike began cleaning up the condiment (佐料) area. He took some paper and wiped up the spills of others and rearranged the milks and other condiments, making everything neat and orderly. Here is a person with very little and hes serving others in a way thats just natural to him.I spoke with Mike about this afterward, thanking him. He said he always did that sort of thingstraightening up. To him, it was just common politeness. I just asked him for a hug and we parted to go our separate ways. There is a lot for us.me. to learn in the most unlikely place.1、Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “ponder” in Paragraph 1?AignoreBreduceCfightDconsider2、What did Mike hope to do on Christ
