【正确答案】 What we saw the most on this journey in the UK are not the churches, sculptures or gardens, but the economically affordable houses built with the government's investment. Whenever we arrive in a different city, Mr. Li who accompanied us during the visit would always point out of the car window to some buildings of different heights and say: Look, these are the economically affordable houses. As it is a fact that economically affordable houses are for the poor, seeing so many such houses wherever we go brings us such a feeling: How come there are so many poor people in the UK? However, the poor in the UK are nothing like the poor suffering coldness and hunger, begging along the streets as we have imagined. On the contrary, some enjoy quite nourishing life. We have seen the so-called street performers who play the guitar, bagpipes, or violin. What they are wearing is not shabby at all and if their faces do not look ruddy, but at least they look healthy and normal. Besides, the instruments in their hands are all semi-new or even brand-new technology products. Li told us that these people were not performing in the street in howling wind for money. You can give them some if you want to after taking pictures with them and it does not matter if you give them nothing at all. What lies behind his words is: They do not expect to live on charity.
