Reading

Read the text. Seven sentences are missing. Match the sentences (A-H) to the
gaps (1-7). There is one extra sentence. Justify your answers.

When people see a homeless person on the street asking for money, some take pity on them
and offer a donation. Most, however, avoid their stare, put their heads down and carry on
walking. All it takes is for one person to stop, act and make a difference.

For Roberta Friend, that’s exactly what she did. Having worked at a homeless shelter in Illinois, Roberta
decided to open her own centre, Goldie’s Place. However, it’s no ordinary centre.
Roberta wasn’t satisfied with feeding people and offering them a place to stay. From personal
experience, Roberta realised that the only way homeless people can achieve independence is by displaying a
desire to change. She believes that obtaining and maintaining employment is a crucial step in that direction.
To many people’s surprise, many of America’s homeless have completed high school, with some even
having undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. It’s under unfortunate circumstances, therefore, that
they have fallen by the wayside.
Goldie’s Place’s Employment Assistance Program, at the heart of its services, helps the homeless to turn
their lives around. In particular, it focuses on finding skill-building jobs. So, people with little
qualifications are given stepping stones into long-term employment. The charity even offers a Clothes Closet
Program that has over 1,500 garments to choose from, specialising in confidence building clothes for
interviews.
What makes Goldie’s Place stand out even more from all the other support centres, however, is its unique
dental programme: the Smile Campaign. It relies on private donations and for £160, you can
transform someone’s smile and earn the title “Smile Friend”.
There are little opportunities for public health care in the US, and Goldie’s Place proves why it is an exception
to the majority. The programme fights for people’s rights to public dental care, even if it takes up to a
year to raise the funds for expensive patient procedures.
Since the clinic opened in 1997, a tremendous difference has been made to the lives of Chicago’s
homeless. Goldie’s Place proves that you should never give up on people. After all, everyone needs
someone to believe in them.

A The campaign promotes that “there’s a story behind every smile”, literally.
B The centre believes that everyone should have access to healthcare, not suffer because they
can’t afford it.
C She made it her mission to find Chicago’s homeless employment.
D Without dedication from the homeless themselves, Goldie’s Place can do nothing for them.
E In fact, less than 6% of the homeless are homeless by choice.
F The general public have benefited from their practice, too.
G If you are able to donate £6,000 and you support 40 smiles, then you have a very own dental
operatory named after you, the “Smile Guardian”.
H It aids homeless people in writing CVs, searching for jobs and building interview skills.
