Oseola McCarty

Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
clean and iron for money which she would then save.
She led a simple，枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
gave a billion dollars.
She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

A:she had managed to save so much money
B:she gave her money to African Americans
C:she gave her life savings to help others through university

Saving Money

Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are
saving to buy a CD（光盘）or to go to a concert,then probably you would keep your money
somewhere in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
your money in a savings account,one year later,you'II have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is an
amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and the
money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you
how much money you have in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.

Among other things,a bank statement tells you
A: the amount of money you have in the bank.
B:the current rates of interest.
C:the current rates of exchange.
D:the best way to save your money.
