Ⅴ.阅读理解
Heidemarie Schwermer's unbelievable story began 22 years ago, when she, a middle-aged teacher breaking away from a difficult marriage, took her two children and moved to the city of Dortmund, in Germany's Ruhr area.
One of the first things she noticed was the large number of homeless people，and this shocked her so much that she decided to actually do something about it. She had always believed the homeless didn't need actual money to be accepted back into society, they only need a chance to make themselves useful, so she opened a shop called “Give and Take”．
It was a place where anyone could trade stuff and skills for other things and skills they needed. The idea didn't really attract many of Dortmund's homeless people. Instead, her small shop was popular with many of the city's unemployed folk who were eager to trade their skills and old stuff for something they needed.
Heidemarie Schwermer's shop eventually became somewhat of a phenomenon in Dortmund
and even caused its creator to ask herself some questions about the life she was living. She started to realize she was living with a lot of stuff she didn't really need and decided not to buy anything else without giving something away.
By 1995, the shop had changed her life so much that she was spending almost nothing, as everything she needed seemed to find its way into her life. So in 1996, she took the biggest decision of her life: to live without money. Her children had moved out so she sold the apartment in Dortmund and decided to live nomadically(流浪地), trading things and services for everything she needed. It was supposed to be a 12-month experiment, but she found herself loving it so much that she just couldn't give it up.
15 years later, she still lives according to the principles of Give and Take, doing various chores for accommodation(膳宿) and loving every minute of it.
